Muslim-American leaders from nine swing states – angry with President Biden for siding with Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists – launched a campaign Saturday to remove the commander-in-chief from the White House.
“We are announcing today that President Biden has lost the 2024 election,” organizer Jaylai Hussein, head of the newly formed #AbandonBiden National Coalition, said at a conference at the Hampton Inn in Dearborn, Mich.
The coalition includes representatives from Muslim communities in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania – nine states with significant Muslim minorities that could make or break Biden’s re-election chances, organizers said.

“Goodbye and goodbye,” Hussein added.
The #AbandonBiden 2024 campaign will “guarantee Biden’s defeat in the 2024 election,” the group vows, due to his “refusal to call for a ceasefire and protect the innocent” in Gaza.
Angry attendees branded the president as — “Genocide Joe” as they repeated claims made by Hamas terrorists.
“We cannot allow Genocide Joe to have another term,” said organizer Hassan Shibly of Florida, accusing Biden of being “directly responsible for the deaths of 10,000 children” in Gaza – an unconfirmed death toll by the terror group.

“On my back, what Mr. Biden should see is 111 electoral votes,” Hassan Abdel Salam, a professor of global studies at the University of Minnesota, told reporters at a news conference during the meeting.
An estimated 3.45 million Muslim Americans in the country traditionally support Democrats in national elections, according to the Arab American Institute.

But an October nationwide poll sponsored by AAI found that Muslims have abandoned Biden in droves as Israel ramps up its fight against Hamas in Gaza.
Only 17% of Arab Americans polled said they planned to vote for Biden in 2024 — compared to 59% who said they had supported him in 2020.
It is the first survey in AAI’s 26-year polling history to find less than majority support for the Democratic Party among Arab American voters.

The sharp drop of 42% could be the difference in closely divided states like Michigan, Arizona and Georgia, where Biden beat former president Donald Trump by a very slim margin.
“We intend to bring America back to the right side of history by punishing Biden and making him a one-term president,” said Khalid Turaani of the Michigan Task Force on Palestine.
Michigan, for example, is home to more than 277,000 Arab Americans, according to US Census Bureau estimates — making the Muslim vote a key component of Biden’s 154,188-vote victory over Trump in 2020.
Organizers hinted that a third-party candidate could get the group’s support — but acknowledged their campaign could return the former president to office.
“We do not support Trump,” said Hussein.
“But we’re not going to make the mistake of thinking of President Biden as we do.”
