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.
