Can MAGA Conservatives and Muslim Americans Unite?
As the Republican Party leaves neoconservatism behind, new coalitions become possible.
One of the main takeaways from President Donald Trump’s election victory was the inroads he made with Hispanics and African-Americans, two large minority demographics traditionally associated with the Democrats.
However, the increase in support for Trump among Muslim voters, though less decisive electorally, was arguably more dramatic and should prompt reflection on the changing character of American politics.
Trump’s share of the Muslim vote increased from 17 percent to 31 percent from the 2020 election.
Much of this increase was due to the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza, which alienated Muslims and Arabs in key battleground states.
Michigan, in particular, has a sizable Arab and Muslim population, which Trump courted on the campaign trail.
