Michigan Muslims shift support from Trump to Democrat El-Sayed in Senate race

blick.ch (German) —

In Dearborn, Michigan, a hub for Arab Americans, Muslim voters are disillusioned with President Donald Trump, whom many supported in 2024, and are now backing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Tuesday's Senate race. Imam Husham Al-Husainy, a former Trump supporter, now calls him "a man of war" and endorses El-Sayed, a physician and son of Egyptian immigrants. El-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers 53 to 42 percent in a recent poll. Trump has attacked El-Sayed as a "jihadist" without evidence. Voters like 82-year-old Samih Zreik, who lost his home in Lebanon, see little difference between parties, while younger voters like Zaynah hope El-Sayed can make a modest difference.
