The Biden administration reminded American Muslims that Trump is worse

The Hill reports that the Biden administration is increasingly concerned about the risk of losing Muslim votes due to the president's vague military policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Observing such a drastic shift in public opinion, the Biden campaign decided to remind Muslims that Republican Trump is worse than Biden in many ways.

"As the Republican campaign continues an overtly Islamophobic campaign, including supporting Donald Trump's anti-Muslim ban, the stakes for next year's election are logically high," a Biden administration official said.

"There is a feeling of betrayal [by Biden] in the Palestinian-American community, in the Arab community," said Yusuf Munaer, a political scientist and researcher at the Arab Center in Washington .

Earlier, we wrote that American Muslims are dissatisfied with the US president's handling of Israel's war in Gaza and are planning to launch a "Drop Biden" campaign against him.

It is worth noting that in the past years, American Muslims mostly supported Democrats, but since October, the religious community's sympathy for Democrats has decreased - Biden's words about the war in Gaza are increasingly losing the confidence of Muslim voters.
