Harris makes last-ditch appeal to Michigan's Muslim voters

Vice President Kamala Harris used her last trip to Michigan to make an appeal to the swing state's Muslim population, which has been upset over the ongoing war in Gaza.

"I want to say this year has been difficult given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon, it is devastating," Harris said Sunday at a rally in Michigan. "And as president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza, to bring home the hostages, end the suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel is secure, and ensure the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, freedom, security and self-determination."

Imam Belal Alzuhairi and Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi were among the group of four Muslim leaders to officially endorse Trump on stage, boasting about the former president's ability to avoid international conflicts.

During her rally Sunday, Harris said she was "joined today by leaders of the Arab American community," though the leaders did not join her on stage and it is unclear which leaders she was referring to.

That movement has since bled over to Harris' campaign, a reality Trump has tried to capitalize on while pushing a message of ending ongoing wars overseas and bringing peace and stability to the world.

That message has seemingly appealed to some Michigan Muslim leaders.

"We're going to stop the wars, we're going to make the United States safe again, and we're going to make the world safe," Bazzi said during his remarks in Novi.

"What a nice endorsement," Trump said after Bazzi's speech. "These are great people."
