Donald Trump became the first major 2024 presidential candidate to visit Dearborn, Michigan, a city with a majority Arab-American population. On Friday, he met with Arab-American community members at The Great Commoner Restaurant, where he was warmly received and endorsed by local leaders. The Lebanese owner of the establishment presented him with a plaque on behalf of "all peace-loving Michiganders." Attendees declared "Dearborn is Trump Country!" as they greeted him. Trump is campaigning in Michigan, with plans to hold a rally in Warren later in the day. His visit comes as the race for the battleground state heats up.
