The meeting, which took place backstage, came as Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign ramped up efforts to appeal directly to Arab and Muslim voters in the final weeks before the election.

Political commentator Ameshia Cross warned that Vice President Harris is facing warning signs among Arab and Muslim communities, especially in Michigan.

Harris met with leaders from Emgage Action, a Muslim advocacy group that has endorsed her candidacy; the American Task Force on Lebanon; and Hala Hijazi, a prominent Palestinian American activist.
