How could Arab and Muslim Americans impact the US election?

In an interview with The New Arab, Youssef Chouhoud, assistant professor of political science at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, explained how Arab and Muslim Americans could impact the US election in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan.

As the US presidential election approaches, he says the dynamics of support show a striking divide among the Arab and Muslim communities. Israel's ongoing and brutal wars in Gaza and Lebanon are shaping voter sentiment and could have significant implications for the outcome of the elections - particularly in Michigan - a state with a significantly high proportion of registered Arab and Muslim American voters, and also home to Dearborn, dubbed the most Arab city in the US.
