Kamala Harris is losing support from Muslim Americans in Michigan.
The New York Times wrote, ” Four years ago, President Biden won Michigan with strong backing from many of those Americans. But interviews this weekend with voters, activists and community leaders in the Detroit area suggested that support for the Democratic ticket has not merely eroded among Arab Americans and Muslims. In some neighborhoods, it has all but vanished.”
One year after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, the relentless and escalating violence in the Middle East is threatening the Democratic coalition in the United States. Arab American voters show signs of abandoning the Democratic ticket, while some Jews worry about their future in a party their families embraced for generations.
Nowhere are those tensions more politically important than in Michigan, a crucial battleground state with a significant population of Arab American and Muslim voters.
Four years ago, President Biden won Michigan with strong backing from many of those Americans. But interviews this weekend with voters, activists and community leaders in the Detroit area suggested that support for the Democratic ticket has not merely eroded among Arab Americans and Muslims.
In some neighborhoods, it has all but vanished.
“I personally don’t know anyone who would vote for Harris,” said Imam Hassan Qazwini, who founded the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights and said that he planned to vote third party this year after supporting Mr. Biden in 2020 in his personal capacity. Initially, he said, many Muslims hoped that Vice President Kamala Harris would “show some even-handedness and fairness in handling the conflict. But unfortunately, that was wishful thinking.”
One voter said most people she knows people who will only be voting “third-party or Trump.”
Imam Hassan Qazwini, who founded the Islamic Institute of America in Dearborn Heights, said he might vote third party this year after voting for Joe Biden in 2020, expressing his disappointment in Harris for her lack of “even-handedness and fairness in handling the conflict” in Israel.
Fatima Klait, a 25-year-old in Dearborn, said that most people she knows will be voting “third-party or Trump.”
“I would rather have us not be involved in Israel whatsoever. But I do believe that Trump would do less damage overseas,” said Klait.
Other voters in the state expressed similar sentiments. As to why some Arab voters might go with Trump, at least one Dearborn resident, 27-year-old Hussein Beydoun, said that Trump’s America First messaging resonates.
“He cares more about what’s going on in America,” said Beydoun. “The Democratic Party seems to care more about what’s going on in other countries versus their own people.”
