In the wake of the 2020 election, Dearborn, Michigan, is grappling with the consequences of its decisive rejection of Kamala Harris. As the city prepares for the Trump era, residents must confront the stark question: was casting a ballot against Harris worth it?
The results were clear: Harris lost Dearborn by a wide margin. Now, the city must face the implications of its choice. Will the Trump administration bring the economic prosperity and security that Dearborn voters crave? Or will it exacerbate the city’s challenges, leaving residents to rue their decision?
Only time will tell if Dearborn’s gamble was prudent. In the meantime, the city stands as a microcosm of the national debate over the costs and benefits of Trump’s presidency.
