A coalition of Muslim and Arab American leaders has expanded its movement to the swing states of Wisconsin and Georgia to keep Vice President Kamala Harris from winning the presidency, saying she is a “pro-genocide candidate.”
The group, which operates as “Abandon Harris,” announced the push into the battleground states on Friday. It also plans an extensive effort to steer voters away from Ms. Harris and toward Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate whom Abandon Harris has endorsed.
Hassan Abdel Salam, an Abandon Harris spokesman, said the group cannot support Ms. Harris because she has not aggressively pushed for a permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and rejected the idea of a full arms embargo to Israel.
