Kamala Harris wouldn’t distance herself from the Biden’s support of Israel’s war on Gaza. Rashida Tlaib railed against it — and won the Michigan city.

    Source? Because my Wikipedia link says this:

    The city’s population includes 40,000 Arab Americans. Per the 2000 census, Arab Americans totaled 29,181 or 29.85% of Dearborn’s population

    And this BBC article from this year says it’s the first Arab majority city in the US. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20240429-dearborn-michigan-a-visit-to-the-first-arab-majority-city-in-the-us

      my Wikipedia link

      What link? The only thing you’ve linked is that BBC article.

      Wikipedia’s page on the 12th Congressional District certainly doesn’t say that.

      Anyway, I tried to find that information, but in the sites I found…

      • https://datausa.io/profile/geo/congressional-district-12-mi#demographics
      • https://statisticalatlas.com/congressional-district/Michigan/Congressional-District-12/Race-and-Ethnicity
      • https://censusreporter.org/profiles/50000US2612-congressional-district-12-mi/

      …the only relevant statistics I could find were for proxies like place of birth and language spoken at home.


      Edit: I just realized you’re talking about Dearborn specifically, for some reason, even though that’s only part of Tlaib’s district and the voters in the rest of it also matter.

        Yes, because that’s that the article and topic of this thread is about.

          It’s the district that elected her, not the city.

            But this whole article is specifically referencing the vote count in Dearborn, not the overall vote for Tlaib or Harris.
