A movement called “Abandon Biden” is gaining momentum among these Muslim activists. Their main goal is to send a message to the political world that supporting Israel’s actions in the conflict could lead to a candidate’s defeat. They hope to accomplish this by actively working against President Biden’s re-election bid in 2024.
One of the leaders of this movement, Hassan Abdel Salam, explained that their goal is to signal to the entire political landscape that defending genocide could lead to defeat in an election. This movement originated in Minnesota and has spread to other swing states where Muslim voters could potentially have an impact on the election outcome.
The movement’s leaders feel that President Biden’s response to the conflict, particularly his failure to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, has been inadequate. They also expressed disappointment with Biden’s decision to pause an arms shipment to Israel, viewing it as too little, too late.
A poll conducted among Arab American voters showed a significant decline in support for President Biden, as well as a negative view of his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict. The movement’s leaders believe this decline in support could have significant electoral implications in key battleground states for the 2024 election.
While the movement’s leaders acknowledge that their efforts could inadvertently help former President Donald Trump return to power, they remain focused on driving their message and showing their dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party’s stance on the conflict.
This movement seeks to show the Democratic Party that there are consequences for their stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict and hopes to influence future policies and decisions regarding the Middle East.
It is a significant move for these Muslim groups to take a stand against a sitting Democratic president, but they believe it is necessary to push their agenda and gain more influence within the party.
