The Global Story: They were loyal Democrats. Then came Gaza

Michigan Democrats on Israel, US foreign policy and the future of the party.

Midterm elections in the United States are normally about domestic issues such as the economy and the cost of living. They鈥檙e often a pulse check on voter sentiment towards the party in power, or a reflection of local political battles and regional trends. Midterms are rarely impassioned referendums on a specific foreign policy issue. But this year in Michigan, for some voters, the Senate race is shaping up to be just that. Today on the show, The Global Story鈥檚 Asma Khalid shares her reporting from Michigan, where a debate among Democrats over the conflict in the Middle East has become a touchstone issue, especially among the state鈥檚 large Arab American and Jewish communities. The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption. For more episodes, just search 'The Global Story' wherever you get your 麻豆社 Podcasts.
