Faye Nemer, CEO of the MENA American Chamber of Commerce, highlighted a shift among Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan towards Trump due to discontent with the Biden administration's stance on Israel amid the Gaza conflict. Nemer and others see potential in Trump's leadership to foster a peace resolution, advocating for a two-state solution. Ibrahim Duhaini echoed this sentiment, urging Trump to leverage his influence for peace beyond the Middle East. Growing feelings of alienation from the Democratic Party have prompted this political shift, revealing evolving voter sentiments within these communities.
I think it was surprising for me to vote for a candidate other than a Democrat. Many felt abandoned by the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel in the war with Hamas.
That's the only pathway to the long, lasting peace that President Trump wants to accomplish. And that could be a defining moment for his presidency to finally achieve peace in the Middle East.
So if you could do that, you could be the chosen person from God. But we hope that [he] could accomplish this, at least in the Middle East, and other parts of the world.
Many Arabs and Muslims have increasingly felt alienated from the Democratic Party on both foreign policy and domestic issues.
