Summary
Trump won Dearborn and made significant gains in Hamtramck due to anger among Arab American and Muslim communities over deaths in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen.
Trump received 42.48% of the vote in Dearborn and 42.7% in Hamtramck, compared to 36.26% and 46.2% for Vice President Kamala Harris, respectively.
Despite Trump’s victory in Dearborn, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senator lost to the Democratic nominee.
Imagine being so fucking stupid you vote Trump to handle Gaza
You see, they are conservative and don’t really want progressive policies, and the Palestinian genocide gave them cover to vote for a strong patriarch that felt comfortable to them.
I don’t know why people are downvoting you, they literally banned the lgbtq flag there once they gained power.
