Huge majorities chose Democrats in the last two presidential elections in South Paterson, but that changed in 2024. Here's why.
Community leaders say Muslim voters were angered by the Biden-Harris administration's inability to stem the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Muslims snubbed Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Day over her stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with about 80% rejecting her at the ballot box, an exit poll reveals.
Despite dropping out of the presidential race nearly three months before Election Day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received more votes in Alabama than any other third-party candidate combined, according to the Alabama Secretary of State's Office.
Some people are once again questioning election results, but this time many of those voices are coming from the left.
This year's Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, has blamed Democrats for their election loss, and has said the two-party political system in the U.S. is broken.
The results mark a stark shift from 2020, when 69% of Muslim Americans voted for President Joe Biden and 17% voted for Trump. This movement away from the Democratic party was fueled, at least in part, by the U.S. government’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza, Robert McCaw, CAIR’s national government affairs director, said in a news release.
Donald Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate since 2000 to win the majority-Arab city of Dearborn, Michigan.
Collins ascended to the top Republican position on the House Judiciary Committee, subsequently emerging as a powerful defender of Trump during his impeachment.
The Arab community got their message across that we could no longer be taken for granted,’ said one Christian and Palestinian American. ‘Even though we’ve paid a heavy price.’
Donald Trump secured a clear victory in the 2024 presidential election, but some online posts claimed Kamala Harris would have won several key states if not for ballots cast for third-party candidates.
But that’s all the more reason it looked for a while like there could be a bumper crop of non-major party presidential candidates. There was the No Labels movement, which for a while was making elaborate claims of viability (or at least significant visibility) for a bipartisan ticket in states across the country.
