(Middle East Eye) Pressure is mounting on Joe Biden’s presidential campaign to replace its Muslim outreach manager following revelations he has strong connections with India’s right-wing Hindu government.
Sources have told Middle East Eye that the Biden campaign is scrambling to find a replacement for Amit Jani, as the number of candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination has been whittled down to two.
Several Muslim-American political advisers have been approached to help find a new candidate to secure the American Muslim vote amid concerns that Jani’s continued presence will alienate Muslims from backing Biden’s White House bid, the sources said.
On Friday, more than 30 prominent academics, activists and organisations signed a letter calling for Biden to fire Jani.
