Leftist filmmaker Michael Moore, who predicted former President Donald Trump‘s 2016 victory, said this week that President Joe Biden‘s support of Israel may cost him the 2024 election.
During an interview on CNN, after anchor Kaitlan Collins mentioned her network’s poll showing 81% of U.S. adults under the age of 36 disapprove of how Biden is dealing with Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, Moore said he wanted to send a message to the president.
“I wanted to say this on your show tonight that his chance of not being re-elected, I think, at this point, is so great, because of those numbers. Because he’s losing the youth vote. He’s lost the Arab American vote in Michigan,” Moore said.
Moore, a Michigan native, was alluding to how the state with a large Arab American population protested against Biden’s Israel stance with more than 100,000 Democrats voting “uncommitted” in the primary.
Noting there has been commentary saying that losing Michigan would cost Biden the election, Moore insisted, “I am fighting to make sure that doesn’t happen. I am trying to save Joe Biden.”
Moore appealed to religion, saying, “If you’re listening — watching Mr. Biden, fellow Catholic, although some will say recovering, in my case, but still, we are Catholics. And the Pope is right on this. We need an immediate ceasefire.”

While facing blowback from the left wing of the Democratic Party, including members of the “Squad” in the House, Biden has criticized Israel’s approach to the war against Hamas even as he backed giving more aid and declared “ironclad” support for the U.S. ally.
After speaking about the “shadow” of the Holocaust and concerns for the safety of Palestinians caught in the crossfire in Gaza, Moore brought his case back to the November election, which polls indicate is ripe for a Trump win.
“We’re going to lose the election. We’re going to lose Michigan, if we don’t turn this around,” he said. “And President Biden isn’t turning this around. That is going to do more to put Trump back in the White House. And I refuse to have Donald Trump back in the White House.”
