Muslim Americans in Swing States Turn Against Biden Over Israel-Gaza War Stance
Muslim American leaders in key states have launched the #AbandonBiden campaign, pledging to rally their communities against President Joe Biden's bid for re-election due to his support for Israel's war in Gaza and refusal to call for a ceasefire. Opposition from the Muslim and Arab American populations could pose a challenge to Biden's Electoral College prospects in the upcoming 2024 election. Independent candidates, such as Cornel West and Jill Stein, have called for a ceasefire, but face challenges due to the dominance of the two major parties. Recent surveys show a decline in Biden's support among Arab Americans, which could impact states like Michigan where Arab Americans constitute 5% of the vote.
