Trump, Harris Compete for Arab-American Votes in Michigan

Donald Trump recently visited Dearborn, Michigan, to engage with Arab-American business leaders, emphasizing his commitment to peace in the Middle East amid a heated presidential race. His campaign aims to win over Michigan's substantial Arab-American population, a crucial demographic in a state that has swung between parties in past elections. While Trump frames himself as a pro-peace candidate, Kamala Harris also promises to support Arab and Muslim communities, though both candidates maintain strong support for Israel. The community is divided, with some endorsing Trump due to perceived failures of the Biden administration, while others, like Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, urge voters to act based on their values without endorsing a candidate. The outcome of this election could hinge on Arab-American voter turnout in Michigan, reflecting broader sentiments about U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. As the election approaches, the focus on these issues highlights the significance of the Arab-American vote in shaping the future of U.S. politics.
