In Dearborn, Michigan, Samraa Luqman is urging Arab Americans to take responsibility if Kamala Harris loses to Donald Trump in the US election.
Luqman believes that Democrats have overlooked the Arab vote for too long and should face consequences for their support of Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon.
She expressed her determination to hold the community accountable if Harris is defeated, emphasizing the need for Arabs to recognize their political influence.
As part of a surprising trend, Luqman represents Arab Americans who are backing Trump in response to Biden’s unwavering backing of Israel during recent conflicts.
Despite Trump’s controversial statements about Muslims and immigrants, he has reached out to disenchanted voters like Luqman, even visiting Dearborn to engage with Arab Americans directly.
Luyman acknowledges that supporting Trump may be risky but sees it as a better option than endorsing Harris due to her stance on Israel-Palestine issues.
While Trump has vaguely promised Middle East peace without clear plans, some voters are willing to take a chance on him rather than stick with Harris’ predictable approach.
The dynamics of this unexpected alliance between Arab Americans and Trump highlight the complexities of political loyalties within diverse communities.
