Many of Vice President Kamala Harris' rallies in the closing days of the campaign were interrupted by people angry about the mounting death toll in Gaza and Lebanon and the Biden administration support for Israel.

That anger may have been expressed at the polls in Dearborn, Michigan, where 55% of the residents are of Middle Eastern descent.

Four years ago, President Biden got 69% of the vote.

This year, Harris got 36. James Zogby is the president of the Arab American Institute.

He's also director of Zogby Research, which conducts surveys in the Middle East.

That drop in Deerboard of support, was that all Gaza or was there something else going on?

I think there were two factors.

Gaza and Lebanon, obviously, were central.

I think the other was a failure of the Harris campaign to reach out, the candidate directly to reach out to Arab Americans.

There's a great Tip O'Neill story when he lost his first election and went to his neighbor and said,

did you vote for me?

And she said, no. And he said, why not? And she said, he never asked me. They know Donald Trump

and many of them know what to expect. He came to them. He spoke to them. He risked it. She didn't.

And that makes a difference. But if they're angry about Gaza and Lebanon, they were supporting a president who told Benjamin

Netanyahu do whatever it takes.

Eighty percent of those in the exit polls who said that U.S. support for Israel is not strong

enough voted for Trump.

How do you reconcile that?

Look, the question of looking at the polls, the Arab American polls, we found that there always

has been a 35% or so Republican vote.

I mean, in every life a little rain must fall, and we have Arab American Republicans.

The increase for Trump came from a punish Democrat vote.
