Arab and Muslim leaders in Michigan have publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump during his rally in Novi, Michigan, ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Notably, Imam Belal Alzuhairi and other prominent leaders of Michigan's Muslim community appeared on stage with Trump, citing his promise of 'peace, not war' and his pledge to end conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine as key reasons for their support. Mayor Bill Bazzi of Dearborn Heights, the first Muslim and Arab American elected mayor of the city, and Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib also endorsed Trump, emphasizing the need to stop wars and make the United States and the world safe. The endorsements highlight a shift among Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan, traditionally a Democratic voting bloc in the battleground state, and contribute to what Trump's campaign is calling the 'biggest, broadest, most diverse coalition' in political history.
