"Listen to the families right now that have been directly impacted, but also listen to majority of Americans that are saying enough. No more wars, no more using our dollars to fund a genocide. No more. So please, take your family members, use our democratic process to speak up about your core values, where you want to see our country go."

Tlaib said it was the first time her 18-year-old son had voted in an election.

Progressive-led campaigns and lawmakers have hammered Biden's re-election campaign over the U.S.'s handling of the Middle East conflict.

In addition to Listen To Michigan, a group called Abandon Biden has been pushing voters to actively oppose the president for his failure to call for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza.

She wrote in one post on her Instagram Story, "We attend marches and protests all the time! We can stand at a polling station for EVERY CHILD KILLED in Gaza. Don't stay home. Help the uncommitted campaign."

Fox News Digital reached out to Tlaib's campaign to ask whether she would similarly oppose Biden in the general election if he did not call for a permanent cease-fire. 

Biden's campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.
