In The Spectator, Zack Christenson discusses how Democrats are losing the Arab vote and the union vote in Dearborn, MI. He concludes:
While the Arab-American vote could sink Harris, it’s here, and cities like it all across Michigan, where the election will more likely be decided. There are over 1.1 million people in Michigan who earn their living, in some form or another, from cars. That doesn’t count the second- and third-order businesses that rely on the auto industry workers, like Miller’s Bar.
While the AFL-CIO has endorsed Harris, the Teamsters declined to make an endorsement. Among the rank-and-file union worker, the facts start to look worse for Harris. Biden won in 2020 by a sixteen-point margin over Trump. This year, support for Harris is markedly down from there — one recent poll showed her lead cut to a mere six points.
I left Dearborn to meet some friends for dinner in Birmingham, a wealthy suburb about seven miles down Woodward Avenue from downtown Detroit. Four years ago, eight years ago, nary a Trump sign could be found in these parts. Now, I’m inundated by them — beautiful, old Tudor-style mansions with Trump “Never Surrender!” yard signs proudly and prominently displayed. I ask some of the locals if my memory was just off and the area was always this Trumpy. “No. And now no one is afraid to show support for him anymore,” came the response.
