This presidential election is likely to be a squeaker, decided by a handful of votes in some key swing states. In this episode from our friends at the podcast Code Switch, we visit one of them — Michigan — in order to hear from some of the most influential and misunderstood voters in the country: Arab Americans in Dearborn.

Code Switch host Gene Demby reports that The Dearbornites they met said that the war in Gaza is one of the key issues weighing on their minds as they consider how to cast their ballots. But what that will mean in the voting booth is still a complex question. Will they go for Kamala Harris? Donald Trump? A third party candidate? No one at all?

What these voters ultimately decide could have huge consequences for the whole country.
