Trump visits Arab-majority Dearborn, Michigan as Harris struggles with Muslim voters
The town is a Democratic bastion, but Arab Americans have increasingly grown frustrated with the Biden Administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

He received a friendly welcome at a local coffee shop, where the owner presented him with a plaque featuring a quote from Ronald Reagan about peace.
"As Arab Americans, we unite against the betrayal of those in power. our families back home suffer, their cries for help echoing across borders, while the world remains silent. It is time to prioritize our nation's best interests and foster lasting peace for all," he said. "This current administration has failed miserably in all aspects of humanity. It is imperative that the Republican party recognizes the contributions of Arab Americans. No longer will we tolerate the narrative of fake news that seeks to demonize our people."
"We look to a Trump presidency with hope, envisioning a time where peace flourishes, particularly in Lebanon and Palestine, maintaining the integrity of our borders," he continued. "Please help us stop the bloodshed. No amount of money or power should be prioritized over human life."
