Donald Trump won in the eastern part of Dearborn while Kamala Harris won in the western part of the city.

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.

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

          You act like the party didnt lose in pretty much every measurable demographic, and every level of government. Nothing to learn from any of that loss you think.

          …Obviously, we’ll be sure to put you centrists back in charge as fast as we can.

            You’re more than welcome to campaign locally for change. You’ve already made certain that federal change is impossible 🤷‍♂️ good luck over the next 4(+?) years
