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.

      Imagine saying this about German Jewish folk in the Holocaust. You just gave up all pretense of advocating the moment they didn’t support your party.

          LOTS of poeple, including Arab Americans felt that their interests werent represented by either party. So they voted against the system in general.
