Disappointed voters in the US election swung from the Democrats to Trump, hurting both the party and the Jewish lobby.
According to research by an American think tank, 75 to 80 per cent of Muslims voted for Trump, while 75 to 80 per cent of Jews supported the Democrats.
In a sense, the Democratic Party, the powerful Jewish lobby in America, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the Jews lost.
According to CNN and NBC exit polls, 78 per cent of the Jewish community chose Kamala Harris, while 22 per cent chose Donald Trump.
A Fox News exit poll found that 66 per cent of Jewish voters supported Harris and 32 per cent voted for Trump. In exit polls, 63 per cent of Muslim voters supported Harris, compared to 32 per cent for Trump.
Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan, especially in the city of Dearborn, have moved away from the Democratic Party and closer to Donald Trump, according to the American journal Foreign Policy.
The Biden and Harris administration’s unwavering military aid to Israel and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ desire to continue the same policy alienated Arab-American voters in Michigan from the party.
In 2020, Trump lost to Joe Biden from the same state by 150,000 votes, but now he won from the same state by 80,000 votes.
According to the gulf newspaper, Trump’s economic policies, including low taxes, limited government regulations, and business incentives, have also attracted Muslim communities.
