Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
Disenfranchising disproportionately affecting one party over another is not the same as “Not voting for X is a vote for Y.”
Were that actually true, Trump would have easily won the 2020 election with 154 million votes, since we’re counting the 80 million nonvoters as votes for him.
Disenfranchising reduces the total number of votes required to get a majority, so not voting for Biden helps whatever republican he ends up going against. Remember how McCarthy only got in the house speakership because Gaetz marked himself as present instead of voting for him? It's the same thing.

So Trump got 80 million extra votes last election and won in a landslide?
No, but Biden could've had an extra 80 million votes were it not for a lot of people being unable to vote.
So nonvoters were not voters for Trump, but instead simply voters who didn’t vote Biden?
Who knows?
