Can MAGA Conservatives and Muslim Americans Unite?

As the Republican Party moves away from neoconservatism, new coalitions are becoming possible.

One notable aspect of President Donald Trump's election victory was his increased support among minority demographics, including Hispanics and African-Americans.

However, the most significant increase in support for Trump came from Muslim voters, with his share of the Muslim vote rising from 17% to 31% since the 2020 election.

This increase was largely due to the Biden administration's support for Israel's war in Gaza, which alienated Muslims and Arabs in key battleground states, such as Michigan, which has a sizable Arab and Muslim population that Trump targeted during his campaign.

The increase in support for Trump among Muslim voters was arguably more dramatic and should prompt reflection on the changing character of American politics.

Author's summary: Trump's election victory showed increased support from Muslim Americans.
