Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.

Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.

The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.

    my guess: they’ll ignore it, just like they ignore what the gazan and west bank people say who they want as president.

    it’s not about genocide or gaza for them.

    it was never about genocide or gaza for them. just look at them scramble when you point out how their champion said nothing about what happened in ukraine and syria and those genocides (relevant since their champion was a known supporter of putin and assad).

    it was only about disrupting the “corrupt duopoly” and having the ability to smugly declare their purity in not compromising their values on the ballot, the consequences of that vote which would affect all of us be damned.
