Tim Walz directly appeals to Muslim voters facing conflicts


On Thursday night, Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz addressed a Democratic Muslim voter group as part of the Harris campaign’s efforts to engage Muslim and Arab voters who are considering defecting due to concerns about the Biden administration’s handling of the situation in the Middle East. The event was organized by Emgage Action, a group that recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. The appearance marked a direct appeal to conflicted Muslim and Arab voters, with the launch of a group called Arab Americans for Harris-Walz. Walz, the governor of Minnesota, vowed to always have an open door for these communities, even in times of disagreement.

The discussion on the call with Walz highlighted the pain and concern within the Muslim and Arab communities about the conflict in the Middle East, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon. Walz emphasized that a Harris-Walz administration would address Islamophobia, engage Muslim communities, and work towards peace and self-determination for Palestinians. While some voters expressed reservations about supporting Harris, speakers emphasized that voting for a third-party candidate or not voting could empower Donald Trump, who would have a detrimental impact on Palestinian causes and other key issues for Democrats. The group acknowledged the difficulty in supporting Harris due to some policy concerns but stressed that she is in a better position to influence change than Trump. Overall, the event aimed to garner support from Muslim and Arab voters by highlighting the potential impact of their votes in the upcoming election.
