One of the nation's largest Muslim voter-mobilization groups is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid.

Vice President Kamala Harris has secured the endorsement of one of the nation’s largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups, marking a significant boost to her campaign since many Muslim and Arab American organizations have opted to support third-party candidates or not endorse.

Emgage Action, the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group, endorsed Harris’ presidential campaign on Wednesday, saying in a statement provided first to The Associated Press that the group “recognizes the responsibility to defeat” Donald Trump in November.

The group, based in Washington D.C., operates in eight states, with a significant presence in the key battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania. The organization will now focus its ongoing voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris, in addition to down-ballot candidates.

    Maybe some people are just frustrated they are being told that the situation in America is far more dire than what’s going on in the middle east, so we can’t worry about that too much right now.

    Funny how a nation full of immigrants can’t seem to figure out why some groups of immigrants might care about more than just the country they currently live in.

    This was essentially voters going on strike to try to effect change, and I can’t say I’m against that. And look, everyone can calm down now because the strikes been called off.
