Some activists and leaders of prominent US Muslim organizations will not support President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election, after as the US House of Representatives approved a military aid bill for Israel. This prediction was made by the television company NBC.
It is noted that many Muslim Americans were already furious with the Biden administration for supporting Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. Now they call it "the point of no return" and "absolute disaster" Biden's possible signing of an aid package for Israel that is moving through Congress.
If Biden signs a package of bills that includes aid to Israel, as he intends to do, “this callous decision could mark a point of no return for the White House's relationship with the American Muslim community and other Americans. who oppose the genocide in Gaza,” - Robert McCaw, director of government relations for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a statement.
NBC emphasizes that this situation could play a key role in the presidential elections in the states where Biden narrowly won in 2020. We are talking primarily about the states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan. The network recalls that Biden continues to speak at public events, despite having to deal with anti-war protesters interrupting his speeches. At an event in March, he admitted he had “common sense” in the position of pro-Gaza protesters who interrupted his speech. After that, the US president became increasingly vocal about the need to send more humanitarian aid to Gaza.
