Trump claims record Muslim support in Michigan, warns of ‘warmonger Cabinet’ under Harris

WASHINGTON (AA) – Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday claimed his campaign is building a “record-breaking” coalition of Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan, saying they are drawn by his promise of peace.

“We are building the biggest and broadest coalition in American Political History. This includes record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan who want PEACE,” said Trump on X, a day before the presidential election.

“They know Kamala and her warmonger Cabinet will invade the Middle East, get millions of Muslims killed, and start World War III. VOTE TRUMP, AND BRING BACK PEACE!” he said.

In the run-up to the election, the Trump and Harris campaigns have each ramped up outreach to Arab and Muslim Americans, especially in the swing state of Michigan, where the community’s votes could prove decisive.

Trump on Friday visited a halal cafe in Dearborn, home to many Arab and Muslim Americans and known as the “Arab capital of America.”

The visit came after a group of Muslim leaders weeks ago joined Trump on stage at a rally in Michigan to announce their support for the Republican candidate in the presidential election.

The leaders cited his commitment to ending wars.

Trump said that Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan and across the country want a “stop to the endless wars and a return to peace in the Middle East.”

On Tuesday, Americans will also elect all 435 members of the House of Representatives, 34 Senate seats and 11 state governors. More than 82 million people voted early in the elections.
