Exclusive: Arab-American Democrat Mayor in Key Michigan County Had ‘Very Productive’ Meeting with Trump, Weighs EndorsementNick Gilbertson 21 Sep 2024
The Democrat mayor of a community with many Arab-Americans in Wayne County, Michigan, who helped lead the uncommitted movement in the Democrat primary, told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his meeting with former President Donald Trump last week “was very productive” and well received by the community, which traditionally votes Democrat.
Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib (D) spoke with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle in a nearly 20-minute segment on the program on the heels of his meeting with Trump in Flint, Michigan.
Hamtramck, along with Dearborn and other cities in Wayne County, have sizable Muslim and Arab-American populations that turned out in full force to protest the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in the Democrat primary.
Michigan was notably where the “uncommitted” movement, made up of Arab-Americans, Muslims, young voters, and far-left progressives, began when more than 100,000 protested the Biden-Harris adminsitration with uncommitted votes in the Democrat primary.
Ghalib said his meeting with Trump materialized in part because many in Hamtramck and these neighboring communities are supportive of him and “the shifting dynamics” he is leading.
