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.

    Most of them were going to vote Kamala if nothing changed anyways. This is the equivalent of a group of workers going on strike. They are doing it to improve the company and their own lives, but they were always intending on returning to work.

    Pinning the democrats to a wall so to speak about Israel is smart, its caused a ton more attention and discussion, and rightfully so as many americans had no idea what the relationship between America, Israel, and Palestine was really like.

    And now everyone can calm down as the largest group has ended its strike and returned to work (vote). Its not stupid to use what little power you might have to try to advocate for change.

      A good portion of them are too young or Russian to vote anyway. And then there are just barely hiding the fact that they are Trump voters.
