(Middle East Eye) Muslims say they can either make or break President Donald Trump’s bid for re-election in 2020.
The young and politically visible community says it has all the tools at its disposal to turn the almost 3.5 million Muslims in the United States into a powerful political bloc going into November’s presidential elections.
Muslim-American organisers told Middle East Eye that they are looking to build on momentum from the past three years, and use grassroots campaigns to advance the community’s political agenda.
Following the historic successes of congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, Mohamed Gula, organising director for the Muslim-American political action committee Emgage, says he has interviewed more than 25 Muslims planning to run for elected office this year.
