“He hasn’t directly called me or anything, but, no, right now I’m focused on my election, my constituents and my residents,” Tlaib told the outlet. “One thing that I know is I’m going to be really focused on turnout in the fall. When I focus on turnout, we will deliver Michigan to Joe Biden.”
“Trump only won Michigan by 10,000 votes. When I turn out my folks and my district, we’ll be able to take back the state. When you focus primarily on getting people out to vote in a district like mine, [Biden] wins,” she continued.
Pressed further in the interview about why it’s difficult for her to endorse Biden in the coming race, Tlaib said, “Because I don’t want to get into a debate with my residents.”
“Residents come up to me and say, ‘Rashida, I don’t know. I hear Joe Biden this, Joe Biden that.’ I say, ‘Listen, do we need another four years of Trump? No. Then what I need you to do is go out there and focus on that,’” she said.
The comments by Tlaib come as the Michigan Democrat gears up for a competitive primary early next month. She faces a challenge from Detroit City Council President and former Rep. Brenda Jones (D-Mich.), who has endorsed Biden for president.
