Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.
Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.
The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.
Don’t laugh.
In an election where the polls are statistically tied in the battleground states, a handful of voters could make a difference.
Maybe the democrats should take a harder stance on Israel publicly to win that vote then.
Or we could just throw shit at people until they can’t advocate for themselves anymore.
And risk losing the other side of the Isle. Yeah, take a hard stance and risk losing the election as a whole. Good strategy.
If we lose the election by standing against apartheid and genocide then we deserve to lose.
Expect an immediate and massive wave of disinformation targeted to Muslim voters.
To everyone. I was under the impression they endorsed Jill Stein, seems they are not?
This will be crucial in MI. I hope people are realizing that even though Joe and Kamala are not perfect in every aspect, Trump is the greatest threat for the future generations. A lot needs to change in terms of US foreign policy posture in Middle East but republicans are absolutely the wrong people to be in charge of that.
Maybe some people are just frustrated they are being told that the situation in America is far more dire than what’s going on in the middle east, so we can’t worry about that too much right now.
Funny how a nation full of immigrants can’t seem to figure out why some groups of immigrants might care about more than just the country they currently live in.
This was essentially voters going on strike to try to effect change, and I can’t say I’m against that. And look, everyone can calm down now because the strikes been called off.
Well between her and the man that implemented a Muslim ban….
Project 2O25 is being implemented with or without Trump. Unless there is a massive wave in November we can expect this rightward push to continue. This country is for sale and the White Supremacists backed by Christians are ready to buy it.
