Biden administration officials took steps to keep the details and schedule of the visit secret more than usual. In Michigan's Arab-American majority counties, Arabs voted for Biden at a rate of just under 70%.
The possibility of Biden repeating his victory in 2020 in the state of Michigan has become doubtful due to his support for Israel’s war on Gaza. Some state legislators who supported Biden's 2020 campaign have become less enthusiastic as he prepares for the 2024 race. Some Arabs and Muslims in Michigan launched a campaign called “Abandon Biden” as part of a broader effort at the national level.
