Description
With a week until the Democratic Primary in Michigan, President Joe
Biden has his eyes on the state’s Muslim population that helped get him
elected in 2020. The Abandon Biden movement, a coalition of Michigan
progressives — including Rep. Rashida Tlaib — calling for residents to
vote uncommitted next week, is growing stronger by the day. The
administration, too, has shifted its message toward Israel dramatically,
and the U.S. has drafted a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for
a temporary ceasefire and encouraging Israel to push pause on plans to
attack the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Playbook co-author
Rachael Bade walks through that and the rest of the news you need to
know today.

Over the past few days, we checked in with an array of Republican operatives about whether they think the GOP could actually blow this. Even after the RNC’s “legitimate political discourse” debacle two weekends ago, the answer almost across the board was an adamant “no.” by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
