Friday, 8 November 2024
Four Bangladeshi-Americans have joined president-elect Donald Trump in securing notable wins in the recent US elections, reports bdnews24.com.
They are Sheikh Rahman, Aboul B Khan, Nabilah Islam, and Md Masudur Rahman.
Each of them was elected to prominent state-level positions, although no Bangladeshi-American has yet been elected to federal office (Senate or Congress).
Their victories have generated excitement among the Bangladeshi-American community, who noted an increase in voter turnout this election. Many expatriates also revealed that they supported Trump in response to Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon, and hoped that a Republican win would help resolve the 'economic crisis' and bring stability
