GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump both sought support from Arab American voters Friday as they campaigned in Michigan, trying to lock down support in a battleground state that could decide the presidential race next month.

Trump was expected to visit a new campaign office in Hamtramck, one of the nation’s only Muslim-majority cities, and he will be joined there by Mayor Amer Ghalib, a Democrat who has endorsed him. Meanwhile, three city council members in the same town have endorsed Harris.

Harris, in comments following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, one of the architects of the Oct. 7 attack, said Friday that his death provided an opportunity to stop the bloodshed in Gaza.

“My message remains, first of all, we have got to end this war," she said Friday. "And I think what has happened now, with the killing of Sinwar, creates an opportunity for us to end this war and bring the hostages home.”

4. Lots of sub groups in Michigan, each one different

Sunni, Shia and many more. I worked with a Christian Arab. Then they get divided up into Secular and Orthodox.

5. Donald Muslim Ban Trump Is Courting Arab American Votes?

Hey, if Trump’s threats to crack down on Unions can get the support of the Teamsters’ President, perhaps Trump’s genocidal fantasies could attract Arab American votes.

6. I heard a Muslim (Lebanese-American?) woman interviewed on MSNBC at noon today.

She said she was voting from Trump to help remove someone actively supporting genocide. The idiocy of a Muslim voting for Trump was mind boggling. Nevertheless, I worry that she may be part of too large a group.

7. I hope the Harris campaign is digging up all the negative thing he's said about Muslims.
