(Washington Times) President Biden on Thursday brushed off weakened backing by Muslim Americans amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, saying he still thinks they’ll show up for him on Election Day.
Speaking with reporters at the White House before heading to North Carolina to talk about the economy, Mr. Biden said there is a “long way to go” before the Nov. 5 election.
Mr. Biden added that his expected 2024 opponent, former President Donald Trump, has called for limiting immigration from Muslim-majority countries.
“The former president wants to put a ban on Arabs coming into the country. We’ll make sure that we understand who cares about the Arab population,” Mr. Biden said.
