Arab American voters came out to support President-elect Trump in order to protest the Biden-Harris’ administration’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war.
Arab American voters in Dearborn, Michigan said that they decided to support President-elect Trump in order to protest Vice President Harris’ stance on the Israel-Hamas war.
“They didn’t vote for Trump because they believe Trump is the best candidate”, Arab American News publisher Osama Siblani told Politico. “No, they voted for Trump because they want to punish the Democrats and Harris.”
Muslim voters favored Harris by 32 percentage points. Trump won 32% of their vote, while Harris won 63%. In 2020, Biden had won 64% of the Muslim vote, and Trump had won 35%.
While Trump faced mixed support from Muslim and Arab American voters, in swing states like Michigan, their support became especially crucial.
