Harris replacing Biden on ticket gave Democrats expected bump from Arab Americans
Abed Ayoub, Arab American ADC grassroots leader, discusses why the Harris bump was expected, whether Jill Stein could be a spoiler in Michigan, why Tim Walz was a positive VP pick, and more.
WASHINGTON — “As soon as he left, they were going to support her,” said Abed Ayoub, national executive director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), referring to the response of Arab Americans to Vice President Kamala Harris replacing President Joe Biden in this year’s election.
A recent ADC poll showed Jill Stein of the Green Party taking 45% of the Arab American vote, followed by Harris with 27.5% — a substantial jump from Biden, who had received just 7%.
"Undecided" polled at 17.9%, not voting at 6% and Donald Trump at 2%.
There are approximately 3.5 million Arab Americans across the country, with the largest communities in California, Michigan, New York, New Jersey and Florida.
