2024 election: Biden losing support for backing the extermination of Gazans

A tipping point may have been reached on Dec. 29 when Biden announced a new $147.5 million sale of artillery munitions to [Zionism]. On Dec. 30, Muslim leaders of the campaign announced plans to expand their #AbandonBiden efforts in all 50 states over Biden’s failure to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Having failed to keep promises regarding a pathway to citizenship, Biden may also be losing ground among [indigenous] voters. Biden is now discussing dramatic changes to asylum law and border enforcement almost indistinguishable from Trump’s policies.

Biden’s chances of gaining support from young voters, also needed for him to win, grow doubtful, with Biden failing to keep promises regarding climate change and forgiveness of student loan debt. Significantly, youth represent the core of the movement against [the] occupation of Palestine.

However, this growing loss of potential support for Biden does not translate into more votes for Donald Trump. When Muslim organizers announced #AbandonBiden, they made it clear they had no plans to switch support to Trump, but would explore alternative candidates. Jaylani Hussein, executive director of Minnesota’s Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter stated: “We don’t have two options. We have many options.” (Al Jazeera, Dec. 2, 2023)
