Michelle Dowie (née Moons), a former Breitbart News reporter and White House staffer, has spearheaded an effort to register Arab-American voters who are increasingly interested in Donald Trump.
As Breitbart News reported, some Muslim and Arab voters dissatisfied with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hope Trump will bring peace back to the Middle East. And they are paying attention to Mr. Trump. Within the Arab American community as a whole, there are many different groups, including Christians from a variety of backgrounds.

“A lot of them don't want Harris. They want her to lose. Some of them… [Green Party candidate Jill] Mr. Stein believes that there is room to persuade Mr. Trump. And that may cause us to cross the line. ”
Many of the issues that Arab American voters care about aren't foreign policy, but just basic issues, particularly those related to small business, Dawi said.
“We really think we can win Michigan. … We agree on important issues. … More and more Arab Americans are showing support for Trump.”
