Joe Biden’s problem is not just his age. Many regular voters turn away from him because of his unconditional support for Israel. Especially Arab Americans, students, blacks. A foray through the swing state of Michigan, where Democrats and Republicans are holding their primary election on Wednesday.
Merwan Beydoun has been working at Ford for almost 30 years, like his father before him and now his son. He has been in the union for almost 30 years, most recently in a managerial position. He always voted Democratic, like his father, his son, his brothers. And he talked to his buddies when they actually considered voting for Trump.
“I think Joe Biden is the best president we workers have ever had,” says Beydoun. “He even went on strike with us, with the UAW auto union, which no president has ever done. His policies are finally putting workers back in focus, through all the investments and infrastructure programs. I’m doing well. I’m making good money, $31 the hour.”
