Former President Donald Trump is surging in the key swing state of Michigan thanks to an unexpected level of support from Arab Americans, who typically vote for Democrat candidates.
Former Trump administration official Michelle Moons wrote in an article for Breitbart News that she and other conservative entities are working to tap into an unrecognized group of conservative Arab Americans who are reportedly eager to support Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris and the Democrat Party are losing the support of many Arab American voters due to the Biden administration's handling of the war between Israel and Hamas and the general chaos in the Middle East that has broken out over the past few years.
Under Trump, there was peace and warming of relations between Israel and their Arab neighbors but under Biden, things have the other way, and Arab American voters are demanding a president who has the answers for the chaos and war that has broken out.
Arab American voters are either running to Trump or planning to stay home in November especially after Kamala Harris insulted pro-Palestinian protestors at a rally in Michigan.
Harris has no way to win with Arab American voters thanks to the United States' obligations to Israel which is one of our only reliable allies in the Middle East.
Despite entertaining many elements of the Democrat Party that want to see aid to Israel ended, Harris has been unable to satisfy the radical demands of her party at risk of alienating pro-Israel Jewish elements of the Democrat Party.
This is particularly relevant in Michigan as there is a large contingent of Arab American voters in Michigan that can swing the outcome of the state. Should Arab American voters abandon Harris for Trump or not show up at all, Trump can easily win Michigan.
Moons wrote, "My husband and I started the Conservative American Middle Eastern PAC – or CAM PAC – in October 2024 after a Trump supporting friend told us how much he was hurting financially but that he still wasn’t registered to vote. Seeing this gap in Republican outreach to register Middle Eastern Americans, we couldn’t wait for someone else to solve the problem. Since launching in Michigan, we have seen people willing to wait in line just to get registered and vote for Trump."
The GOP has done a horrific job of reaching out to culturally conservative groups and for too long has just resigned those votes to the Democrat Party.
Now thanks to a combination of Kamala Harris's incompetence and Trump's reforms to the GOP, a new day has dawned and Republicans are hard at work getting those votes that have been neglected for years.
While Trump is also a pro-Israel candidate, he wants a swift and effective resolution to the conflicts plaguing the Middle East and that could draw many of those angry Arab American voters to join MAGA's growing coalition.
Conservatives like Michelle Moons are hard at work doing the dirty work of reaching out to new voter segments and it could pay dividends. Should Trump win Michigan, there are a few scenarios in which Trump could lose the election.
Both Georgia and Pennsylvania are leaning toward Trump significantly and North Carolina was just battered by a nasty hurricane to which Kamala Harris has failed to properly respond to.
Michigan was the key swing-state where Harris is seen as having the edge but with this changing dynamic involving Arab Americans, all that could change and hand Trump a 2nd term in the White House.
