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 the democrats should take a harder stance on Israel publicly to win that vote then.

    Or we could just throw shit at people until they can’t advocate for themselves anymore.

      And risk losing the other side of the Isle. Yeah, take a hard stance and risk losing the election as a whole. Good strategy.

        If we lose the election by standing against apartheid and genocide then we deserve to lose.
