How the Arab Vote Will Impact the U.S. Election

   Source: The Australian Nov 6, 2024 No Comments


In the desperate closing hours of this lineball presidential contest, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are rushing to Michigan, where a bitter proxy battle over the war in Gaza threatens to upend U.S election.

The candidates are rushing here for a unique reason - they are grappling for the votes of the state’s large and angry Arab community which could have the power to decide who wins Michigan, and therefore potentially the U.S. election.

In one of the most bizarre twists in this volatile campaign, Trump is set to be the major beneficiary of the fallout over the war in Gaza as the state’s angry and traditionally pro-Democrat Arab American population seeks to punish the Biden-Harris administration’s largely unequivocal support for Israel.

This is despite Trump being arguably more pro-Israel than the Biden-Harris administration and despite him having once advocated a ‘Muslim Ban.’
