'Squad' member Rashida Tlaib snubs endorsement of Harris during UAW rally

 November 3, 2024

In the final hours before Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris has not felt the same kind of momentum and support felt by former President Donald Trump and his campaign.

From surrogate gaffes to shifting poll numbers in the wrong direction, Harris and her campaign have been in a total nightmare for the past several weeks, and recently, it worsened as she wasn't even supported by one of her progressive allies.

According to Breitbart, "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib snubbed Harris at a United Auto Workers (UAW) union rally in Detroit, Michigan.

Michigan is one of a few states that are absolutely critical to providing a path to the White House for either Trump or Harris, and Harris is already struggling in the union-heavy state.

What's going on?

During the rally, Tlaib encouraged those in attendance and Democrat votes in general to turn out at the ballot box on Tuesday, but stopped short of telling them to endorse Harris.

She spent most of the time bashing Trump, as most Democrats do as they have nothing else to talk about, let alone any accomplishments that they can brag about.

“Don’t underestimate the power you all have,” Tlaib said. “More than those ads, those lawn signs, those billboards, you all have more power to turn out people that understand we’ve got to fight back against corporate greed in our country.”

Her message comes as Donald Trump continues to see a swell of support among the state's Muslim and Arab voters, with Harris dropping in those categories mostly due to the Biden-Harris administration's stance on the Israel-Hamas war.

A local news outlet ran cover for Tlaib, saying she "focused her speech to UAW members on down ballot races."

But that's not really the reason, as Tlaib has publicly expressed her disdain for Harris and Biden and suggested voters move away from Biden over the Israel-Hamas situation.

Trump momentum

Michigan, which is home to a large Muslim-American voter population, is looking much more favorable for Trump as the election draws closer.

Those voters, which number in the tens of thousands, could be key to solidifying a victory for either candidate in what will otherwise be a close race.

Should Trump win Michigan, it will be a massive boost and likely propel him to victory.

One can be assured that Harris' ho-hum support in the state is keeping the campaign up at night.
