A recent report from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) shows that Green Party candidate Jill Stein is leading Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump among Muslim voters in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Stein’s strong support in Michigan, where there is a significant Muslim population, could pose a challenge for Harris as she seeks to build a coalition similar to President Biden’s in 2020. The report also shows Harris and Trump leading among Muslim voters in other swing states, with Harris leading in Georgia and Pennsylvania, and Trump leading in Nevada. The report indicates that Muslim voters could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the 2024 election in key battleground states. Many Muslim voters have expressed feeling disenfranchised by the Democratic party, particularly over the issue of U.S. support for Israel. This sentiment was highlighted by protests at the Democratic National Convention and the Michigan Democratic Primary. In 2020, President Biden narrowly won Michigan, and recent polls show Harris holding a slight lead over Trump in the state. The report underscores the importance of engaging with the Muslim American community in swing states in order to secure their support in the upcoming election.
