GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are both seeking support from Arab American voters as they campaign in Michigan, trying to lock down support in a battleground state that could decide the presidential race. Harris insisted it was time to “end the suffering” in the Middle East. Trump visited one of the nation’s only Muslim-majority cities on Friday, but avoided any specifics about his plans for the region. Michigan is unique with its significant Arab American population, which has been deeply frustrated by the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s offensive in Gaza following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
