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’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.

      First of all I’m not omniscient. I don’t see everything that’s posted. But please go read what I said again. I did not say I believed her stance to be the same as Biden’s. I said she failed to meaningfully separate herself from Biden’s policies.

      She said the exact same thing Biden was saying while he was sending 2,000 pound bombs to Israel.

      And Jordanlund is wrong about the “defensive” weapons. The only defensive thing we send is the iron dome missiles. We also send everything from bullets to tank shells to plane bombs. None of which are purely defensive.

      She could have used messaging along the lines of, “I believe our military aid requires more stringent investigations into units receiving it.” But for whatever reason she didn’t. The pro Palestinian lobby was very clear about what they wanted to hear from her in order to vote for her and she did not meet that bar.
