War‑angry voters flip to progressives

In swing‑state pockets with concentrated minority communities, anger at U.S. involvement in Middle East conflicts — combined with tangible local pain (higher gas prices, inflation) — can push recent Trump voters to back progressive Democrats. Local polling and interviews from Dearborn, Michigan show Muslim and Arab‑American voters who supported Trump in 2024 moving toward Abdul El‑Sayed in 2026 over foreign‑policy and affordability grievances. — This pattern could reconfigure swing coalitions by making foreign policy and cost‑of‑living shocks decisive for groups previously courted by populist Republicans.
