Muslim Activists Lead ‘Abandon Biden’ Movement in 9 Swing States to Thwart President’s Reelection
SUMMARY
A national Muslim activist group called “Abandon Biden” is mobilizing in nine swing states to prevent President Joe Biden’s reelection, criticizing his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Star Tribune reported that activists like Abdel Salam, a University of Minnesota professor, are leading efforts to politically punish Biden for enabling civilian casualties in Gaza. The group prioritizes this objective over preventing a second Trump term, believing a Biden loss could push the Democratic Party towards a more pro-Palestinian stance. Despite Biden’s calls for a ceasefire and threats to withhold weapons from Israel, the movement persists. Polls show Trump gaining significant support from Muslim and Arab-American voters in these critical swing states, threatening Biden's reelection chances.
