Muslim leaders from several swing states on Saturday descended on Dearborn, Michigan, to launch a national campaign against the reelection of President Joe Biden — a response to his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Organizers from Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania are calling the campaign #AbandonBiden, vowing to ensure that Biden is a one-term president. These leaders have run separate pressure campaigns in their respective states, members of the coalition said, but they felt now was the time to coordinate their response ahead of the 2024 election.
For nearly two months, Muslim and Arab leaders have pushed the president to call for a cease-fire, and now, with more than 15,000 dead in Gaza, this new coalition is dialing up the pressure.
The bubbling anger among Arab and Muslim Americans could threaten Biden’s chances of reelection in many of the swing states in 2024, all of which contain key pockets of Arab American and Muslim American voting blocs.
“We are not powerless as American Muslims. We are powerful. We don’t only have the money, but we have the actual votes. And we will use that vote to save this nation from itself,” said Jaylani Hussein, a member of the coalition and the executive director of CAIR-MINNESOTA.

Yes, they should vote for the person who will denaturalize and deport them. Absolutely brilliant idea.
@P4ndaDoug5mos5MO
such confidence in your own candidates platform that you’d defer to him losing without people tolerating the genocide he’s doing

I think they overestimate their ability to swing the vote. Regardless, Democrats will continue to do the right thing and fight for them when they need it and still get no credit.

Besides deporting them, do they honestly think Trump is going to be better on Palestine than Biden? Trump would’ve been urging Netanyahu to level the place, with nukes if necessary.
I am a Muslim swing state voter who voted for Biden in 2020. There’s zero chance he will get my vote and he will lose Michigan. Actively supporting a genocidal campaign against civilians is certainly disqualifying.
@BipartisanTed5mos5MO
Then you’re a fool.
And that’s exactly the rhetoric that white liberals like yourself use when dealing with our community. “Vote for us or else you’re dumb.” Biden is green-lighting a massacre of our people. Trump is not our ally, but nothing Trump did during his presidency compares to what Biden is actively doing in Gaza now.
@9HD7ZRQ5mos5MO
The loss of Muslim American support will be detrimental to Biden's campaign.
@MorbidPlover5mos5MO
Foreign policy should not be conducted according to ever changing polls. To be clear Hamas started this and the idea that Israel would not respond ferociously is unrealistic.
Trump at the top, and blue below is the way Muslims and like-minded Americans are going to vote in 2024.
Will keep both the warmongering factions in check.
