Vice President
Kamala Harris met with Arab American and Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan, on Friday, as her presidential campaign seeks to win back voters angry at U.S. support for Israel's wars in
Gaza and
Lebanon.
Harris, a Democrat, faces Republican former President
Donald Trump on Nov. 5 in what opinion polls show to be a tight
presidential race. Both candidates have roughly even levels of support among Arab Americans, according to a poll published this week by the Arab American Institute.
Harris' meeting on Friday comes on the heels of other efforts by her team this week. On Thursday, her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz,
promised on a Zoom call with Muslim voters that Muslims would have an equal role in a Harris administration.
After the meeting with Arab American leaders, Harris appeared with United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fain in Flint and vowed support for Michigan's auto industry.
A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign said Harris is "putting a minimum of 37,000 auto jobs at risk by refusing to tell Michiganders if she still supports her proposed plan to ban all internal combustion engine cars by 2035."
