February 20, 2024: Biden pushes temporary ceasefire
FEB 20

About
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.
