Overview

• Leaders of the 'Abandon Biden' movement, a campaign calling on Muslim-Americans to oppose President Biden’s re-election bid over his support for Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, have been accused of spousal abuse and ties to the Hamas terror group.
• The campaign was launched at a conference in Dearborn, Michigan, with Muslim leaders from swing states such as Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
• The leaders of the campaign argue that Biden's support for Israel has led to the loss of Palestinian lives and that their votes could be decisive in swing states.
• Polling data indicate that there is indeed growing pullback from Biden among both Arab and Muslim Americans.
• Despite the allegations against some of the leaders of the 'Abandon Biden' movement, their campaign could potentially impact Biden's chances in the 2024 election, particularly in swing states with significant Muslim populations.
