Muslim Americans moving to Jill Stein in potential blow to Kamala Harris
WASHINGTON - Arab-American and Muslim voters angry at US support for Israel's offensive in Gaza are shunning Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential race to back third-party candidate Jill Stein in numbers that could deny Ms Harris victories in battleground states that will decide the Nov 5 election.
Council on American-Islamic Relations data released in September based on a late August poll showed that in Michigan, home to a large Arab American community, 40 per cent of Muslim voters backed the Green Party's Dr Stein. Republican candidate Donald Trump got 18 per cent with Ms Harris, who is President Joe Biden's vice-president, trailing at 12 per cent.
