Arab-American advocacy group works to 'mobilize 3 million more' Muslims in midterm elections to back DSA, Democrats

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) aims to mobilize an additional 3 million Muslim voters for the 2026 midterm elections, focusing on increasing participation in the Democrat party, as 53% of Muslims in the U.S. lean Democrat. Their initiative, called Muslims Vote, seeks to remove obstacles to civic participation and encourage voter turnout.

CAIR Action, a related organization, has endorsed several progressive candidates in various states, including Michigan and Minnesota. The project launched in July to prepare for primary and general elections, emphasizing the importance of civic engagement among American Muslims.

Despite CAIR's requirement to remain non-partisan in their voter outreach, the organization has faced criticism and scrutiny regarding its political connections and funding, particularly with allegations of supporting Democratic candidates financially. This mobilization effort is viewed by some, like Turning Point Action's COO, as potentially harmful to Republican election prospects in 2028.
