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.

    To Arabs with families in Gaza the worst is already happening. Entire branches of families have been wiped out. Trump quite literally can not be any worse for them than Biden. And Harris failed to meaningfully distance herself from Biden’s policies on Gaza. So they stayed home. This isn’t shocking, it’s an entirely human response.

      You’re welcome to hold an opinion. I could have believed you were ill informed and not actively acting in bad faith.

      You continued responding after this comment was posted illustrating how you were actively lying and trying to subvert the facts.

      It’s very clear from those paying attention she did take a different position from the same as Trump.

      Stop lying.

        The war crimes that Biden decided weren’t bad enough to stop weapon shipments were committed in the West Bank. Go learn something before you embarrass yourself.
