EXCLUSIVE — Three councilmen for the Muslim-majority city of Hamtramck are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in defiance of its mayor, who grabbed national headlines for his support of former President Donald Trump.

Mohammed Hassan, a longtime member of the Hamtramck City Council, held an event Sunday night in which he and two other councilmen, Mohammed Alsomiri and Muhith Mahmood, offered their support to Harris. The city, home to a large Yemeni and Bangladeshi population in Detroit, is represented by six councilmen.
