Harris meets with Muslim and Arab American leaders in Flint before campaign rally

Vice President Kamala Harris met with leaders from the Muslim and Arab American community in Flint, Michigan, before a campaign rally. She discussed the ongoing wars in Gaza and Lebanon, expressing concern over civilian suffering and casualties. Harris reiterated her commitment to Israel's security while acknowledging the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This meeting follows her running mate's virtual discussion with a Muslim political group, which called for a change in U.S. policy regarding the conflict. The Biden administration's approach to the Israel-Hamas war has faced criticism from some Muslim voters. In response, the campaign launched the "Arab Americans for Harris-Walz" coalition to strengthen support within the community.
