Muslim and Arab Americans: We will not vote for Biden

Fars News Agency International Group; “Biden is not eligible for my vote due to his complicity and participation in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. I will not vote for him” Khaled Torani, a 57-year-old consultant based in Michigan and head of the American Muslim movement known as “Leave Biden” in this state, made these statements in an interview with CNN.

Many Arab-Americans and Muslim voters of this country have told this American network because of Joe Biden’s unquestionable support for Israel and his lack of demand for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. They will not vote for his re-election campaign for another four-year presidential term.

This in While it is about 10 months until the election day in the United States, many experts consider Trump’s ascension from this party and the possibility of his rematch with Biden in a tight and difficult election to be very likely, considering the results of the primary elections of the Republican Party so far. In the November 2020 American elections, Biden had the support of several prominent American Muslim officials and Muslim community leaders, but this time many of them are pessimistic and angry.

Ariana, a 27-year-old content producer in California, expressed her feelings, “I feel like I’m being exploited as a Muslim voter. . Biden used people like me to get elected”.

In general, the number of Americans of Middle Eastern descent or Muslims in this country is not large, and according to the 2020 census, 3 .5 million is equivalent to about one percent of the total population of the United States with nearly 335 million citizens. But the outcome of the 2024 presidential election could be determined in a few key states where Middle Eastern and Muslim Americans are concentrated, such as Michigan, Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona.

But on the other hand, experts warn that the dangers for Democrats go beyond Arab and Muslim voters and “in the demonstrations across America in support of Gaza, young Americans, blacks and Jews of this country joined American Muslims”.

Political analyst and senior fellow at the Arab Center in Washington, Youssef Munir, believes that Biden still has an opportunity to engage with these voters by changing his policy towards Israel and the Gaza war, “However, it is not easy because it is difficult for Muslims to accept what They have witnessed it, let them forget it”.
