FLINT, Mich. — Vice President Kamala Harris met with leaders from the Muslim and Arab American community ahead of her campaign rally here on Friday, a campaign official said.
During the meeting, Harris heard leaders' perspectives on the election, as well as the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, the official said.
He added that his group asked Harris "to impress upon President Biden the urgency of bringing an immediate end to the violence."
Emgage endorsed Harris in September, despite saying that "the vice president still has a ways to go" on certain issues.
On Wednesday, Phil Gordon, a national security adviser for the vice president, met virtually with Muslim, Arab and Palestinian leaders from across the country, according to a source familiar with the planning.
