RNS: Anti-Muslim attacks didn’t help Republican candidates. In Texas, they may have hurt.
RNS reporters that “In 2024, Republicans had made inroads with some Muslim voters: Angered by the Biden administration’s handling of Israel and the Gaza war, 10% of Muslims who voted for Biden in 2020 said they voted for Trump in 2024, according to the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, an organization that studies American Muslims.
“But indications are that the backlash in 2026 may have erased those gains.”
