Washington/Prensa Latina

If US President Joe Biden wants to stop his loss of electoral support, all he has to do today is demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, a media outlet here warned.

Stopping the bloody loss of Palestinian lives and stopping arming Israel are also necessary conditions for a change in the position of segments of voters, noted an opinion column published by the Democracy Now news service.

The situation could lead to Biden losing his re-election, the article stated, in which he highlighted that Israeli bombings have caused more than 28,000 deaths in Gaza since October 7, including 11,500 children.

Likewise, the number of injured amounts to 67 thousand despite the fact that the International Court of Justice ordered Israel on January 26 to take all measures at its disposal to prevent a genocide in Gaza, the Israeli attacks have intensified, their authors pointed out. , Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan.

The material cited a concrete example of the loss of support for Biden: Michigan, a state that is decisive for the US presidential election, which is home to one of the largest Arab-American communities in the country.

Many members of this community, who have always voted Democratic, now say they cannot support Biden in the February 27 primary elections, the authors wrote.

Biden campaign advisers are increasingly concerned about this issue, the article noted.

At the end of January, in the state of Michigan, the mayor of the city of Dearborn, Abdullah Hammoud, who is also the first Muslim to be elected to that position, refused to meet with Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chávez .

The article commented that Mayor Hammoud is leading an initiative that aims to pressure Biden to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The initiative’s website, ListenToMichigan.com, released a statement signed by more than thirty Democratic elected officials, which said: “Michigan voters are sending Biden a clear message: Don’t count on us in the US primary.” Democratic Party of February 27.”

According to them, they will select the ‘NOT COMMITTED’ option because they firmly reject Biden’s financing of the war and the genocide in Gaza.

In this sense, they warned that Biden will have to drastically change his policy to win the vote of that segment of voters.

The “NOT COMMITTED” option indicates that voters support the party, but are not in favor of any of the candidates appearing on the ballot.
