A new movement to replace President Joe Biden with another candidate or see him defeated in November is gaining steam, putting new pressure on his reelection campaign even as he trails likely GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump in national polling.
A national Muslim activist group called “Abandon Biden” is organizing operations in nine swing states to prevent President Joe Biden from winning reelection in November in response to his handling of the Israel and Hamas war, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported.
The outlet noted that the group is not supportive of Trump, either, but would be okay with him winning another term if it meant Biden would be defeated:
Abdel Salam, 48, is among a group of Muslim activists, including several Minnesotans, who are organizing in nine swing states in opposition to Biden’s re-election. The group’s leaders say they want to politically punish the president for what they describe as enabling mass civilian casualties in Gaza.
