Trump Ally Massad Boulos Courts Arab American Voters in Michigan Amid Skepticism
June 16, 2024Lebanese businessman Massad Boulos, a key ally of Donald Trump, is leading efforts to sway Arab American voters in Michigan away from President Joe Biden.
The dissatisfaction among Arab Americans stems from Biden's support for Israel.
Despite disillusionment with Biden, many Arab Americans remain cautious of Trump's past actions, such as the immigration ban on Muslim-majority countries.
Boulos is connected to Trump through his son's marriage to Tiffany Trump and has been engaging with Arab American community leaders to promote Trump's policies.
There is skepticism within the community about the effectiveness of Boulos's efforts, with calls for Trump to address policy concerns directly.
Michigan, a crucial battleground state with a significant Arab American population, is expected to play a decisive role in the 2024 election.
Boulos, while a close associate of Trump, has stated he has no interest in a role in Trump's administration if Trump wins.
Community leaders emphasize the importance of concrete promises on future policy from Trump to win over Arab American voters.
