The phenomenon of Islamophobia has been repeatedly used in American election campaigns, especially by the Republican Party, to motivate voters to turn out. The strategy focuses on linking Muslims to terrorism through racist statements, harking back to the 2016 election atmosphere characterized by heightened rhetoric against Syrian refugees and terrorist attacks, which led to the distortion of the image of American Muslims. These campaigns exploit fear of Islam to bolster political support, and their impact on the upcoming elections will depend on the increasing political influence of Muslims, as the Muslim population in the United States has grown to 5.5 million (1.6% of the population) and is gaining more representation. However, it remains difficult to predict whether the influence of Islamophobia campaigns will remain strong in the next elections, especially with the increasing number of Muslim representatives in public offices.
