In a bid to secure the crucial Arab American vote in Michigan, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump campaigned in the state on Friday. Michigan is a key battleground state that could play a significant role in determining the outcome of the presidential race next month.
Trump visited a new campaign office in Hamtramck, a city known for its large Muslim population, where he was joined by Mayor Amer Ghalib, a Democrat who has endorsed Trump. The move highlights the efforts of the Republican nominee to appeal to Arab American voters and secure their support in the upcoming election.
On the other hand, three city council members in Hamtramck have endorsed Harris, showing the competition for the Arab American vote in the state. Both candidates are making a concentrated effort to reach out to this community, recognizing its importance in a state where every vote can make a difference.
As the candidates continue to make their case to voters in Michigan, the Arab American community remains a key demographic to watch. With the race tightening in the final weeks leading up to the election, the support of Arab American voters could prove to be decisive in determining the outcome in this battleground state.
