On 20th July 2020, Joe Biden pledged that if elected president, he will end Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban on his first day in office.

“I will end the Muslim ban on day one. Day one. And I will work with Congress to pass hate crimes legislation like the Jabara-Heyer No Hate Act and the End Racial and Religious Profiling Act,” Biden said to attendees of the Million Muslim Votes Summit, an online conference hosted by Emgage Action.

Biden, who also quoted a saying from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), promised that if he's elected in November, he'll have Muslims in his administration and said he intends to work with Congress to pass hate crimes legislation.
