An exit poll conducted after the 2020 vote found 69% of Muslims voted for Joe Biden.
FALLS CHURCHL: Hairdresser Linda Shawish cuts to the chase when asked about President Joe Biden’s decision to unequivocally back Israel’s bombing and ground invasion of Gaza.
With a year left until the 2024 presidential election, Arab and Muslim American support for Biden threatens to plummet over his Middle East policy – a factor that could even swing certain states. “Something has fundamentally broken in the hearts of many Muslim and Arab American Democrats,” Waleed Shahid, a Democratic strategist and former spokesman for Senator Bernie Sanders told AFP.While Muslims account for a small fraction of the US population – 4.5 million people, or 1.3%, according to the unofficial US Religious Census – the election “will be decided by a couple of hundred thousand votes in a handful of states,” said Shahid.
At the nearby Dar Al-Hijrah – one of northern Virginia’s main mosques completed in 1991 by developer Mohamed Hadid, father of models Gigi and Bella – Imam Naeem Baig said the community pinned its hopes on Biden after the pain of the Trump years. But the horrific news and images coming from Gaza had cast a sense of depression and trauma, Baig said.
The US president took five days to call the family of the six-year-old Palestinian American boy fatally stabbed in a hate crime, for example, and he has publicly questioned the death toll provided by Gaza’s health ministry, which historically has proven accurate.
