Former President Donald Trump will make the first trip by a major presidential candidate of the 2024 cycle to the Arab stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan.
Sam Abbas, owner of The Great Commoner, told the Associated Press that Trump will visit his restaurant on Friday. The move is a major breakthrough for the Trump campaign among a traditionally stubborn Democratic voter bloc, Arab Americans, who have grown disillusioned over the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
“We expect some remarks around ending the war and bringing peace to the Middle East,” Abbas said. “I’m not here to get political. I’m not here to tell people which way I’m voting. I am simply here because our family is being slaughtered and we just want to end the war. Stop the bombing.”
Michigan has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the United States, with a sizable amount in Dearborn. Their votes, or lack of turnout, could help swing the election in one of the most crucial swing states.
