Though conventional wisdom holds that US foreign policy doesn’t have much of an influence on elections, global issues may play an important role in key districts this year, Foreign Policy reports.

Arizona: Maricopa County, the fourth-largest in the country, is bracing for election deniers and foreign interference.

Georgia: Concerns about Chinese influence and xenophobia loom large in a state where Asian Americans mobilised in 2020.

Wisconsin: Two visions of trade and economic policy have played out in a key county in the manufacturing-heavy state.

Pennsylvania: In the largest swing state, Ukraine is on the ballot for voters of Central and Eastern European descent.

Michigan: Arab Americans in Michigan told Foreign Policy that they did not see a difference between Harris and Trump on the issue of Palestine; they now echo a similar sentiment regarding the crisis in Lebanon. Michigan is home to more than 82,000 Lebanese Americans, including nearly 23,000 in the city of Dearborn.
