Palestinian American writer Ahmed Moor said the suspension of his campaign account on X would not derail his bid to challenge Sen. John Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s 2028 Democratic primary, Anadolu Agency reported Friday.
Moor announced his candidacy Monday. On Wednesday, he used his personal X account to post a screenshot showing the suspension notice for @moorforpa, his campaign account. The notice cited X’s rules in general but did not say which rule the account had violated or explain the decision.
In his post, Moor asked supporters to repost his message and consider donating. A Bluesky message from the campaign called Elon Musk “not a fan” of the effort and urged supporters to share the post.
Anadolu reported that, by Nov. 13, X had not publicly identified a specific basis for suspending the account.
Anadolu described Moor as a Gaza-born writer who lives in Philadelphia and noted his criticism of U.S. support for Israel. His Monday announcement set out goals including ending the Iran war, providing free health care and child care, expanding affordable housing and protecting civil liberties. It also called for accountability for genocide, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and corruption.
Anadolu said Fetterman has faced criticism from progressives who object to his support for Israel.
