DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Donald Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate since 2000 to win the majority-Arab city of Dearborn, Michigan. Voters say a last-minute visit from Trump to the city helped him beat Kamala Harris there by over 2,000 votes. Harris also lost neighboring Dearborn Heights. Trump had focused on Arab American voters after local leaders for months warned Democratic officials about anger in the community over the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Harris never visited Dearborn. One of her top surrogates, former President Bill Clinton, was expected to visit the area before he made remarks deemed offensive to many in the Arab American community.
