US poll tight as Trump, Harris woo Arab-Americans in Michigan

US poll tight as Trump, Harris woo Arab-Americans in Michigan

Trump met with Arab-American business leaders in Dearborn, Michigan, on Friday.

On a crisp, sunny day in the largest Arab-majority city in the US, dozens of people gathered outside the Great Commoner cafe to catch a glimpse of Donald Trump.

“What we want is peace,” Trump told a group of Arab-American business leaders inside the Dearborn, Michigan, restaurant – days before the presidential election.

But a crowd of pro-and anti-Trump voters shouting at one another nearby demonstrated how divided the Michigan community has become over choosing the best American president to handle the escalating Middle East war.

The Republican’s Friday visit to Dearborn, once a reliably Democratic area, marks the culmination of his efforts to court the 200,000-plus Arab-Americans who live in must-win Michigan.

It could sway a tied race between Trump and Kamala Harris. Hillary Clinton lost Michigan to Trump by only 10,000 votes in 2016, while Biden won it back by 150,000 votes in 2020.

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has said she would push for ending the war and her Republican rival Donald Trump has promised “peace” in the Middle East.

But both the vice president and former president are staunch in their support for Israel.
