Social media platform X has suspended the campaign account of Palestinian-American writer Ahmed Moor just days after he announced his Democratic primary challenge against US Senator John Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s 2028 election.

Moor announced the suspension on Wednesday through his personal X account, sharing a screenshot of the notice displayed on his campaign account, @moorforpa.

“FRIENDS! It’s official! We’re a threat,” he wrote. “They’ve suspended the campaign account. Help us maintain the momentum by retweeting and please consider donating.”

The suspension notice stated that X suspends accounts that violate its rules but did not specify which rule the campaign allegedly breached or provide a detailed explanation for the decision.

The account had reportedly attracted more than 33,000 followers within approximately three days of its launch.

The campaign also addressed the suspension on Bluesky, writing: “Well it’s official, Elon Musk is not a fan of the campaign! Our campaign account has been suspended.” It urged supporters to share the post to help maintain momentum.

Moor announced his Senate bid on Monday, positioning himself as a challenger to Fetterman, a Democrat who has faced criticism from progressives over his strong support for the Israeli regime.

“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.
