Pro-Palestinian protests have increasingly confronted Joe Biden over the past five months.
At the same event, over 100,000 Michigan Democrats marked themselves as uncommitted rather than support Biden in their primary.
Meanwhile, the Border Patrol Union mocked Biden’s visit to Texas’ border, where illegal crossings are lower, characterizing it as trying to shift blame to Republicans as border security becomes a top voter concern.
The Washington Examiner reported, “Joe Biden has increasingly encountered Pro-Palestinian demonstrations amplifying calls for a ceasefire and hostage exchange almost five months after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.”
“Last week, more than 100,000 Michigan Democrats, organized by the state’s large Arab and Muslim community, marked themselves as ‘uncommitted’ instead of supporting the president in their primary. Biden on Friday previewed the possibility of a six-week ceasefire, which will permit humanitarian aid ‘to the entire Gaza Strip, not just the south,’” the outlet continued.
Biden said, “In the coming days, we are going to join with our friends in Jordan and others in providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into [Gaza] and seek to continue to open up other avenues into [Gaza], including the possibility of a marine corridor to deliver large amounts of humanitarian assistance.”
“In addition to expanding deliveries by land, as I said, we’re going to insist that Israel facilitate more trucks and more routes to get more and more people the help they need,” he continued.
Biden said, “No excuses, because the truth is aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough now — it’s nowhere nearly enough. Innocent lives are on the line, and children’s lives are on the line.”
“The majority of Democrats and Republicans in both houses support this legislation, until someone came along and said don’t do that that’ll benefit the incumbent. That’s a hell of a way to do business in America for such a serious problem,” said Biden.
Jill Biden is campaigning for her husband in several states as midterm elections approach while questions arise about why Joe Biden himself is not campaigning more actively.
