‘Trump is the only hope for peace’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza

Hamtramck, population 28,000, has new Trump campaign office weeks from election in hopes of gains in swing state

That the Trump campaign would open an office in Hamtramck, a tiny city of around 28,000 people north of downtown Detroit, less than a month before the election, speaks to a particular curiosity of the 2024 presidential race.

About 40% of Hamtramck's residents are of Middle Eastern or north African descent, 60% are believed to be Muslim Americans, and the city has an all-Muslim city council.
