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.

    I’m saying we needed like 10-million more votes to even reach parity with Biden 2020 here.

    Complaining about a few hundred-thousand votes in one, albeit important, swing state, is missing the forests for the trees. This is a resounding defeat of the Democrat’s platform this year.

    The platform goes above and beyond just Harris btw. I’m including “Fascism” and other such arguments we used online / memes that clearly didn’t work well enough. We need to talk about everything and prepare for 2026 and 2028.

      I’ve been trying to say that for ages, but got called (and still get called) a MAGA troll.

      Edit: Got called a Trumper in this very thread. Again. Fix your country, y’all.
