Green Party candidate Jill Stein is gaining ground among Muslim-American voters in three critical swing states: Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, according to a recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Stein leads Vice President and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in these states, with 40 per cent support in Michigan, 35 per cent in Arizona, and 44 per cent in Wisconsin. This surge in popularity appears tied to Stein’s vocal criticism of US support for Israel during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    Biden’s ousting proves that the party donors control the party. They changed candidates because the donors didn’t want him, and as soon as they changed the Party was showered with money.

    Now certainly voter enthusiasm was part of that, but only to a certain extent. Donors aren’t going to pull funding because Democrats join a bipartisan Muslim ban.
