The Arab American Lawmaker Leading the Charge Against Joe Biden

The Arab American Lawmaker Leading the Charge Against Joe BidenIn late October, the Democratic floor leader of the Michigan House of Representatives, Abraham Aiyash, stood in front of thousands gathered in downtown Detroit to denounce a man who is vying to win another four years in the oval office. He spoke with the same urgency he had in 2020, when he addressed another crowd in Detroit to condemn then-President Donald Trump’s attempt to halt the vote count in the critical swing state.
