This week, here on “The Ray Hanania Radio Show" we discuss the upcoming elections with local state candidates in the Arab American community ... discussing the battle by Trump and Harris to win Arab and Muslim American votes in the final days of the presidential election. Arab and Muslim Americans have become very important for the first time in many presidential elections mainly because the battles are over razor thin margins between the two candidates in swing states like Michigan ... the swing states happened to have the largest concentrations of Arab and Muslim voters and they can end up deciding the election.
My first guest today is Democrat Ishmael Ahmed who is a part of a coalition of Arab American leaders who this week endorsed Kamala Harris for president during a meeting in Detroit ... Ishmael has been a longtime activist in Michigan and knows the Arab and Muslim community very well ... he was also a founder of ACCESS and the director of ACCESS for 32 years ... and he headed the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services under former Gov. Granholm who was later appointed to head the Department of Energy for the Biden Administration ... and he was also a vice chair of the Democratic party in Michigan for more than a decade ... and was an autoworker and worked on overseas freighters, He also is a US military veteran ....
We will also speak with Dr. Bishara Bahbah who is the chairman of Arab Americans for Trump. Bahbah was a longtime Democrat who switched parties following Biden's unconditional and all out support for Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza this past year and now with the expansion of Israel's wars and violence against Lebanon, murdering tens of thousands of civilians in Palestine and in Lebanon.
