A Palestinian-American running for the US Senate has had his campaign account suspended by the social media platform X just days after launching his bid.

Ahmed Moor, a democratic socialist who was born in Gaza, announced on Monday that he would run in the primary to be the Democratic nominee in Pennsylvania in 2028.

The seat is held by John Fetterman, a pro-Israel Democrat who has voted with Republicans on issues related to Israel rather than with his own party.

On Wednesday, Moor said that his X campaign account had been suspended. “It’s official! We’re a threat,” he posted on his personal X account.

The account had gained over 33,000 followers within three days of its launch. X has not provided an explanation for its suspension.

Moor, who has criticised US support for Israel and how “wars and tariffs that have driven up costs for working Pennsylvanians”, has said he wants to unseat Fetterman and “chart a new path for America”.

Fetterman has not yet announced whether he will run again.

“I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing,” Moor said in his campaign announcement.

“I’m calling for accountability for genocide, for ICE and for corruption. And finally, for the protection of our civil liberties in America.”
