The Unexpectedly Modest Role of Foreign Policy in the 2024 Presidential Election

  • Paul S. Adams

摘要

This chapter explains how foreign policy was not as prominent an issue in 2024 compared to 2020 even as the Biden administration contended with wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The issue seemed to have a minimal role in Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris, but in some voter blocs, such as large Arab American communities, foreign policy was critical, and ongoing foreign conflicts with US involvement increased voter anxieties, which were successfully harnessed by the Trump campaign.
