No. Electromagnetism is *way* stronger than gravity. Partly because of that, matter tends to be both magnetically and electrically neutral.

One way to see this: if you have a small magnet, it can produce sufficient force to counteract the gravity of the whole earth.

Gravity is a different thing than magnetism by orders of magnitude.
