Late in the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump, the next US president, accomplished an unexpected achievement by winning over large numbers of Muslim voters by promising to put an end to the violence in the Middle East.
As Israel continues its 13-month siege of Gaza and bombardment of nearby Lebanon, his new supporters are now rejoicing in his triumph and are sure he will deliver. According to early data, Trump barely won first place in Dearborn, the largest Arab-American enclave in America. This is a sharp contrast to 2020, when departing President Joe Biden won by a wide margin.
This time, Vice President Kamala Harris and Jill Stein of the Green Party split the left-leaning vote.
Bill Bazzi, the Lebanese-American mayor of nearby Dearborn Heights, told AFP that “people got the message that Trump is trying to bring peace to the Middle East and to the whole world” during a late-night hookah bar gathering that turned into an early-morning party.
Bazzi denied that the media had misrepresented Trump’s earlier “Muslim ban,” stating that it was just a question of more stringent screening of some unstable nations to keep Daesh extremists out of the US.
