Muslim American groups are demanding Biden secure a Gaza ceasefire by Tuesday or risk losing their support in 2024. In an open letter, the National Muslim Democratic Council pledged to mobilize voters against candidates who support Israel's offensive in Gaza. They criticized Biden's unconditional support for Israel amid civilian casualties. With Michigan's narrow 2020 margin, Muslim votes could be decisive. Muslim Minnesotans also issued an ultimatum and plan protests during Biden's upcoming visit. Rep. Rashida Tlaib said in a video not to count on her 2024 vote given Biden's backing of Israel's "genocidal campaign." The threats highlight growing anger in Arab and Muslim communities over Biden's failure to condemn Israel's Gaza attacks.
