Election Day is looming just around the corner, and all eyes are on Michigan, a state crucial for determining the next president. Despite the liberal media’s delusions, it seems that Arab Americans are not exactly throwing confetti for Kamala Harris. Surprisingly, recent trends indicate that Donald Trump is leading her by a slight margin among Arab American voters. One would expect that the incessant drumbeat of liberal narratives would have this demographic lining up for Harris, but what’s actually unfolding is far from that fantasy.
Recent polling data reveals that Trump has a slight edge over Harris among Arab Americans, sitting at 49% compared to Harris’s 47%. In stark contrast, Biden had a commanding 61%-36% advantage in the 2020 election. This slow-motion political disaster for Harris is particularly evident in Michigan, where local leaders have been bending closer to Trump. Notably, the mayor of Dearborn Heights recently joined the ranks of those endorsing Trump, leaving Harris high and dry. This doesn’t just stop at mayors; even Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a key figure in the so-called Squad, has managed to keep her distance, neglecting to offer Harris a lifeline as Election Day approaches.
Amid this brewing rebellion, the rift over issues relating to Israel and Gaza remains front and center, and for good reason. The Democrats’ failure to align with their once-reliable base in this context is glaring. At a United Auto Workers rally, Tlaib focused her speech on down-ballot races, clearly signaling that siding with Harris is not in her political toolkit at the moment. With the war in Gaza influencing many undecided voters, it’s no wonder that more than 100,000 chose “uncommitted” during the state’s primary earlier this year. If that doesn’t scream red flags for the Democratic establishment, it’s hard to know what would.
Rashida Tlaib Isn't Endorsing Kamala

The Democrats have gone the extra mile in trying to woo the Arab American and Muslim communities. Harris has made attempts at engagement, including private meetings with leaders. Yet, it seems that those overtures have backfired spectacularly. The audacious attempt by her campaign to contemplate an arms embargo against Israel, a policy that proved to be an exercise in political gymnastics, didn’t land well. Reports suggest that even Tlaib wasn’t swayed by the desperate measures Harris took to curry favor, indicating a serious disconnect that may threaten Harris’s prospects among this vital voting bloc.
At this point, it seems clear that the Democratic strategy surrounding Michigan is fizzling out. This significant voter group may very well choose to stay at home or flirt with third-party candidates again, which spells trouble for Democrats. For Republicans, every sign of discontent among Harris’s potential supporters is akin to finding gold nuggets. If Muslim voters alienate Harris, Trump could find a more open pathway to snatch Michigan from the clutches of the Democrat regime, proving once again that wedge issues can be an Achilles’ heel in politics, particularly in a battleground state.
With the stakes exceedingly high, every vote counts now more than ever. It is crucial for conservatives to seize this moment and rally their bases because every ballot cast against the Democrats is a step towards a non-liberal future for America. Who would have thought that dissent in the Democratic Party would offer such hope to the conservative movement just days before an election? These are indeed interesting times on the American political landscape.
