Vice President Kamala Harris convened with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, as part of her campaign's strategic effort to regain the trust of voters discontented with U.S. support for Israel's military operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

During the meeting, Harris expressed concern over civilian suffering and discussed the need for regional stability. Key figures emphasized their disappointment with U.S. policies and urged Harris to advocate for an immediate halt to conflict in the region.

The outcome of this meeting could significantly impact Harris's electoral prospects, particularly in Michigan, a pivotal swing state where disenchanted Arab American voters could hold sway in the presidential race.
