American Muslim groups call on Biden to withdraw from race over 'US support for the Gaza genocide'

A national coalition of American Muslim political organizations has called on US President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race over his policies on Israel's war in Gaza and "widespread concern about his ability to serve as president for another four years."

The American Muslim 2024 Election Task Force members include: Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, CAIR Action, ICNA Council of Social Justice Action, Muslim American Society Action, Muslim Civic Coalition Activate and the US Council of Muslim Organizations Civil Action Network.

In a statement, the task force said, in part: "President Biden should now step aside so that the Democratic Party can identify and nominate a new, able, and qualified candidate who better reflects the values and views of most voters, including opposition to US support for the Gaza genocide."
