A new report from the Council on American Islamic Relations shows Green Party candidate Jill Stein leading Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump among Muslim voters in some swing states.
With the 2024 election shaping up to be the closest in a generation, vital minority groups like Muslim Americans in swing states could be the key to winning or losing the White House.
The report released on Sep. 9 showed Stein leading Harris and Trump among Muslim voters in the key states of Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. In Arizona, Stein had 35% of Muslim voters while 40% of respondents in Michigan and 44% in Wisconsin signaled their support of the Green Party candidate.
Steins large support in Michigan could prove to be a headache to the Harris campaign as she tries to rebuild the coalition President Joe Biden had in 2020. The state is the home to Dearborn, the city in the United States with the highest per capita population of Muslim-Americans in the country.

(60,318 posts)But some serious financing is behind Stein if a plurality of Muslim voters in any state backs her over anyone else. They are obviously aware that she is there as a spoiler to Harris, and not as someone who thinks she has a chance to be elected. Ergo, these pluralities would have to be cool with that, since they must know that she is not now, nor has she ever been a sincere public champion for Palestine. As everand just like Trumpshe is a manipulator. Since she knows she has no chance of being elected president, then two questions need to be asked: WHY is she doing this, and, WHO is financing it? The one question that no one is asking, nor needs to ask, is who benefits from her campaign?
And the answer to that just might lead to the answers to the other two questions.
As a side note, after the socialist countries of the Warsaw Pact collapsed in 1989, and the files of the East German secret police were made public, their financing of many sympathetic movements in West Germany came to light. Those movements rushed to claim betrayal! and we never knew!. SURE they didnt.

They'll still blame Harris. It's always something.
