“All of us in this country need to understand what’s happening in Gaza right now,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) said.
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) on Sunday conceded that President Joe Biden has a lot of work to do to win back the trust of Muslim voters in Michigan who opposed President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Dingell was asked if Biden could restore the faith of Muslim voters in him despite the fact that they strongly disapprove of his pro-Israel position on the Middle East conflict.
“There’s a lot that has to be done, and this is a very serious issue,” Dingell said.
Dingell, who lived in Dearborn for years, the city with the largest Muslim population in the country, said the community there is hurting over the dramatic scenes coming out of Gaza. So far, over 19,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war, according to local officials.
“All of us in this country need to understand what’s happening in Gaza right now,” Dingell said, noting the scale of the humanitarian tragedy unfolding on the ground.
