White House dances around Biden’s dip in support from Arab and Muslim Americans

The White House didn’t express any major concerns Tuesday about a recent dip in support for President Joe Biden among Arab and Muslim Americans.

Still, the administration is actively reaching out to leaders within those communities amid Israel‘s war in Gaza, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Jean-Pierre faced multiple questions on the subject during Tuesday’s White House press briefing but said that she did not want to “get into every poll.”

“What I can say is this: The president knows that Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of — certainly of hate-fueled attacks,” she stated. “And so he also understands that many of our Muslim and Arab American and Palestinian American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed at their communities.”

“Leaders at every level of this administration will continue, we’re going to continue to engage, engaging with the Muslim community, the Arab American community, and Palestinian American leaders to hear their concerns, right, and also to hear their feedback on how best certainly to combat the discrimination, the hate and discrimination, that they’re seeing as well,” Jean-Pierre continued. “We have been in close contact with the Muslim community. We’ve been in close contact with Palestinian Americans, Arab Americans as well, appointees here as well, Jewish American appointees as well, to ensure that their perspectives are heard and also that we continue to respect, obviously, their perspective.”
