Ameer Ghalib, the Democratic mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, has officially endorsed Donald Trump for President. Hamtramck is notable for being the only Muslim-majority city in the United States. Ghalib, a Yemeni immigrant, cited Trump's promise to end wars in the Middle East and his principles as key reasons for his endorsement. This endorsement is seen as significant, given Michigan's status as a key swing state in the upcoming election. Ghalib's endorsement could influence tens of thousands of voters in Michigan and potentially other states. Ghalib met with Trump in Flint for a private conversation before making his decision.
