With a week until the Democratic Primary in Michigan, President Joe Biden has his eyes on the state\u2019s Muslim population that helped get him elected in 2020.

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.
