Trump to appear alongside Brian Kemp; Kamala Harris rallies in Michigan

Trump to appear alongside Brian Kemp; Kamala Harris rallies in Michigan

NBC News interviewed three Arab American voters to learn who they’re voting for and why. Abu Ahmed al Iraqi, a retiree, said he’s thinking of voting for the Green Party this year because American foreign policy has lost its humanity.

America needs some “balance between humanity” and politics, said al Iraqi, an Iraqi American who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020.

“I don’t want my country, my politics, [to] stood next to Hamas, no,” he said. “But at least, I want my kids, my family, [to ]see something, humanity, for United States, to save children, to save people.”

Nasser Eshaweh, 68, a retired cashier from Dearborn who has voted for Democrats in the last two presidential elections, said he’s voting for Harris.

“If you look at what happened, it’s a bad situation in the Middle East, and they never protect kids. But still, I have to vote for them. I like to vote for democracy.”

Habib Abbas, 47, a government worker from Dearborn, preferred not to share who he is voting for, but said it’s clear that American foreign policy in the Middle East is ineffective.

“I feel like if that doesn’t get resolved or contained as soon as possible, it can escalate into something much bigger that can impact every one of us here in the US,” Abbas said.

“Things keep getting worse, and people are so much concerned, especially a lot of people here who have a lot of origins from the Middle East.”

“There’s a lot of people who lost their families, a lot of innocent lives that just basically got wasted for no obvious reasons,” Abbas said.
