I would be very worried that, in the state of Michigan, Trump racked up 750k votes while Biden was only able to drag in 620k. When you consider the 100k votes for "Uncommitted" and the 40k votes for Biden-alternatives, that's not looking great.
It looks even worse when you consider the 2020 results - 840k Biden to 577k Bernie. Joe looks like he's hemorrhaging support in that state. Palestine very well may cost him the state and potentially the Presidency.
Compare that to Trump's 110k gain from 2020. Dude's picking up speed while Democrats just kinda fuck around, waiting to find out.
Governor Whitmer has been far more savvy in her outreach to the state's Muslim community. I doubt she'd roll over to a Trump DHS trying to deport a big chunk of her constituents.
But if you're a Muslim down in Texas or out in Florida or Arizona, I would be feeling incredibly anxious.
