Donald Trump Wins Dearborn, Michigan, as Arab-American Voters Shift Support from Biden to Trump; Harris Receives 36 Percent

Nov 11, 2024, 11:31 AM

In the Arab-majority suburb of Dearborn, Michigan, voters overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in the recent election, marking a significant shift in political allegiance. Historically, President Biden secured 69 percent of the vote in 2020, but this year, Vice President Kamala Harris garnered only 36 percent. Trump, who became the first Republican presidential candidate to win Dearborn since George W. Bush in 2000, received over 2,500 more votes than Harris. In some precincts, Harris's support plummeted to as low as 13 percent, while Trump achieved 51 percent. This shift is seen as a rebuke of the Biden administration's handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and tensions in Lebanon, reflecting the community's discontent with current policies.
