(Politico) The Harris campaign is making a new push for Muslim voters, as it tries to hold off significant defections of left-leaning voters in swing states angry over the vice president’s position on Israel amid a growing military conflict in the Middle East.
Gov. Tim Walz is set to speak at a virtual Muslim voter event Thursday evening organized by Emgage Action, a Muslim advocacy group that recently endorsed Kamala Harris and Walz while citing serious reservations about their stance on Israel. The invite, shared with POLITICO, said “both presidential candidates have left our community with difficult choices: one threatening the fabric of democracy, the other enabling atrocities in Gaza.”
In such a tight race with former President Donald Trump, Democrats need every vote they can get in battleground states.
