Suehaila Amen, a longtime Democrat from Dearborn, Michigan, backed a third-party candidate for president, contributing to Donald Trump's victory in the city. Arab American voters in Dearborn, where nearly half of the residents are of Arab descent, supported Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris due to concerns about the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel in the war in Gaza. Trump's visit to a Lebanese-owned restaurant in Dearborn before the election helped sway some voters. Arab American support did not secure Trump's win, but voters will be watching to see if he follows through on his promise to end the war.
