Huge majorities chose Democrats in the last two presidential elections in South Paterson, but that changed in 2024. Here's why.

Community leaders say Muslim voters were angered by the Biden-Harris administration's inability to stem the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Muslims snubbed Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Day over her stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with about 80% rejecting her at the ballot box, an exit poll reveals.

This year's Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, has blamed Democrats for their election loss, and has said the two-party political system in the U.S. is broken.

Four years after Biden dominated there, Trump got 42% of the vote, a plurality. Green Party nominee Jill Stein nearly cracked 20%. Harris landed in the middle, with 36%. According to national exit polls, more than 6 in 10 Muslims voted for the Democrat – a clear majority, but a stark decline from past cycles.
