WASHINGTON — President Biden was expected to host a small, private meeting with a group of Muslim Americans Tuesday evening to recognize the Islamic holy month of Ramadan — with the gathering dramatically scaled back due to backlash against his support for Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip.
Activists have for months held large anti-Biden rallies and interrupted his public remarks — calling him “Genocide Joe” — and some polling shows that the president is at risk of a large-scale electoral abandonment by both Muslims and Arab-Americans as he seeks re-election in November.
Fewer than a dozen guests are expected after several invitees declined the opportunity to participate in the intimate Iftar meal with Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, CNN reported Monday.
The Associated Press reported that “Biden is hosting a small group of Muslim American community leaders at the White House for a meeting on Tuesday followed by a scaled-down iftar dinner.”
The AP then indicated the only Muslims attending the dinner with Biden and Harris might just be their own staff:
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will be joined by Muslim staffers in the Democratic administration and senior national security aides…
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about the Muslims rejecting Biden’s dinner invite on Monday, and dodged, saying, “We understand this is a difficult time.”
