With its long-standing peaceful and positive presence in the US, its influence is growing in many spheres of life in the US, including the Presidential Elections. Popular for their entrepreneurial spirit, strong community ties, and active engagement in civic matters, Gujaratis do wield the power to notably impact the electoral arena of America.

The 2024 Presidential election season is showing some interesting dynamics and nuances of political interest and expected participation among Gujaratis. Intergenerationally, there are some deviations visible in Gujarati homes where the younger generation is leaning more towards Democratic Party nominees due to their proximity to the care and concern of climate, social justice, and diversity.
