Muslim mayor in Michigan endorses Trump after private meeting

A Muslim Democratic mayor who runs a city just five miles outside of Detroit endorsed former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Mayor Amer Ghalib, who was born in Yemen, has been leading the city of around 27,000 residents since 2021. The city of Hamtramck, Michigan, which has a sizable immigrant population, became the first in the nation to have a Muslim-majority city council in 2015. Forty percent of the city’s population was born in another country.
