Ilhan Omar Warns Biden of Potential Muslim Voter Backlash in 2024

The congresswoman emphasizes the importance of Muslim and young voters, expressing their heartbreak over the Israel-Hamas conflict and calling for a change in U.S. support for Israel.

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar personally warned President Biden about the importance of Muslim and young voters to his re-election efforts, citing their heartbreak over the Israel-Hamas war.
  • Some Muslim groups in key swing states are considering campaigning against Biden because of his support of Israel, with a campaign titled '#AbandonBiden' seeking to oppose the president for reelection.
  • Omar has been very critical of the president's position in the Israel-Hamas conflict and has called for a ceasefire.
  • The president received 69% of the Muslim vote in 2020, compared to former President Donald Trump's 17%, according to an exit poll conducted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
  • Omar hopes that the president listens to the over 60 members of Congress who have joined her in calling for a ceasefire and finding a lasting solution to the conflict.
