Summary

In Wayne County, Arab American precincts rejected Kamala Harris, with Biden receiving 82% of the vote in 2020 and Harris only 23% in 2024.

Trump’s outreach to Arab American and Muslim communities, including visits to Dearborn and Hamtramck, contributed to his increased support.

Harris’s performance in Dearborn, where she received only 13% of the vote in the south end, reflects the backlash against Biden’s handling of foreign policy in the Middle East.

    You know people voted for candidates other than Harris and trump right? Like Arab americans voting for 3rd party candidates that haven’t promised to wipe out Gaza?

      The third-parties that have never had a chance in hell of winning EVER.

      A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE HAS NEVER FUCKING WON THE PRESIDENCY IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING MODERN HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.

      ITS NEVER GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN WITHOUT A MAJOR CHANGE IN THE ELECTION PROCESS ACROSS ALL 50 STATES

            You redirected by bringing up that 3rd party candidates don’t win. That’s not the point for people that vote for them bc democrats abandoned/actively work against them. I think it prob would’ve been smarter to just vote for harris, but imo it’s very unempathetic and sanctimonious saying trump got elected bc people weren’t willing to vote for democrats who hate/don’t care about them or their rights
