Dima Hassan, a Palestinian born in Damascus, had to flee Syria with her family in 2012 after the start of the war. She settled in the Dearborn area of Michigan, the state with the highest percentage of Arab-Americans in the United States. In September, she obtained American citizenship. Days later, just as she was making plans to travel to the West Bank for the first time, war broke out in Gaza. The 28-year-old is now putting all her effort into convincing Michigan residents not to vote for President Joe Biden in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. She is calling on Michigan voters to pick “uncommitted,” which is similar to a blank vote.
