The uptick in criticism from progressives and Democrats overall for his response to the war is a real danger to the president, whose pro-Israel stance could result in him losing votes in 2024 in critical states like Michigan, where grassroots organizations are calling on voters to “Abandon Biden.”

Biden’s performance in the Tuesday primary in the Detroit-area town of Dearborn, Mich., where Arab Americans make up the majority of the population, will be telling of how deep the sense of betrayal is felt among the community.
