An overlooked and undercounted group of Arab American and Muslim voters may have outsized impact on 2024 presidential election
In fact, numerous Middle Eastern and Muslim American leaders have called for their communities to “abandon Biden” in the upcoming presidential election. As a whole, the number of Middle Eastern or Muslim Americans is quite small. In the 2020 presidential election, for instance, Biden won the state of Michigan by a total of 154,000 votes. For example, Emgage, a nonprofit Muslim advocacy group, collected such data on eligible voters and turnout in a dozen states during the 2020 presidential election. But even if they were, the numbers show that a presidential election may swing on a lesser-known but potentially crucial voting bloc.
