and also the group that helped fund the Abandon Harris campaign?
December 2023, the Biden administration cut off contact with CAIR after its executive director stated he was "happy to see" Palestinians break Israel's siege on the Gaza Strip on October 7. Awad also stated that Palestinians "have the right to self-defense" but that Israel "as an occupying power" does not.

The Abandon Harris campaign was among the groups that urged voters not to support Harris, the Democratic nominee, in the 2024 election due to the Biden administration's support for Israel's war in Gaza.
[T]he Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) said its nationwide exit poll found a majority of Muslim voters voted for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, while Trump and Harris each captured about 20 percent of their vote.
