Harris vows at Michigan rally to ‘do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza’

VP tries to appeal to state's Arab and Muslim Americans as polling suggests they are gravitating towards Jill Stein

Kamala Harris pledged to do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza" in her final rally in Michigan on Sunday, as she attempted to appeal to the state's large Arab American and Muslim American population two days out from the election.

Michigan is home to about 240,000 registered Muslim voters, a majority of whom voted for Biden in 2020, helping him to a narrow victory over Donald Trump. But Arab Americans and Muslim Americans in the state have expressed dissatisfaction over the vice-president's stance on Israel's war on Gaza, and polling suggests that these voters are gravitating towards Jill Stein, the Green party candidate.
