However, this growing loss of potential support for Biden does not translate into more votes for Donald Trump. When Muslim organizers announced #AbandonBiden, they made it clear they had no plans to switch support to Trump, but would explore alternative candidates. Jaylani Hussein, executive director of Minnesota’s Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter stated: “We don’t have two options. We have many options.” (Al Jazeera, Dec. 2, 2023)
