During CNN’s coverage of the Michigan primary on Tuesday, CNN senior political commentator and former Obama aide David Axelrod said President Joe Biden “said yesterday that he thought a ceasefire was within reach.” He said that the reason he wanted to say “I had a good time” was partly because he was afraid of losing. voters.
“Michigan is going to be very close,” Axelrod said. “It’s going to be a close race, so it’s important to see if people use language that suggests they’re pulling out. But we’ll be careful. [against] I am overemphasizing this point because with eight months left until this election, expressing dissatisfaction with the president in the primaries is one thing, but running against Donald Trump is another. . And Gov. Whitmer (D) met with Dana on Sunday and said that Donald Trump’s relationship with the Arab American community, the Muslim community is quite volatile, and people have to think about their choices. He pointed out that he was deaf. She said a vote for a non-committal person today would be a vote for Donald Trump. ”
He added: “Obviously there were quite a few people who wanted to vote. And I want to emphasize, we saw the vote in Ann Arbor, but this is not just an issue for the Arab American community; It’s an issue for young voters, it’s a national issue for Biden, and it’s motivating these young voters and some African-American voters. So I think this is clearly an issue. It’s a problem for young voters. But I think that’s one of the reasons why he was so keen to say yesterday that he thought a ceasefire was within reach.”
