(NBC) Former Vice President Joe Biden committed last week to having Muslim American voices in his administration should he win the White House in November. Now, a new committee is working toward screening candidates to fill those slots.
Emgage PAC announced Tuesday it is coordinating the “Muslim American Executive Selection Committee,” which it said will help to “identify, evaluate and endorse highly qualified Muslim American candidates for a potential Biden administration.”
Speaking last week before Emgage’s advocacy group, Emgage Action, Biden said he would be a president who “recognizes and honors” contributions of Muslim Americans in U.S. society.
