The most likely path to the White House for Vice President Kamala Harris runs through the "blue wall" states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Harris is in a statistical tie with former President Donald Trump in those three states, according to a collection of polling compiled by RealClearPolitics.

But serious trouble is brewing for her in Michigan, home to one of the largest populations of Arab Americans, where angst about the scale of death and destruction in Gaza is growing to now include Lebanon during this week's observance of the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks Hamas launched on Israel.

Arab Americans, who used to back Democrats over Republicans by a ratio of 2-to-1, now are closer to an even split between the parties. That is not growing enthusiasm for Trump. America's support of Israel as an ally, through shipments of weapons used to kill Hamas but also tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, is driving this disengagement.

But within that division there are more fractures. Abandon Harris, a new Muslim American organization seeking to defeat the vice president in swing states, on Monday endorsed Jill Stein of the Green Party for president.

Stein has made criticism of President Joe Biden's administration about Israel and Gaza a key component of her campaign.

Emgage Action, the political arm of a Muslim American voter organization founded in 2006, endorsed Harris last month........
