Bill Bazzi, the mayor of Dearborn Heights, was all smiles when we met in his office yesterday, on Election Day eve. He’d just wrapped his finishing touches on a speech he would give in Grand Rapids later in the evening at Trump’s final campaign rally.

Donald Trump is set to visit Dearborn, Michigan — the nation's largest Arab-majority city — on Friday, according to a local business owner who first insisted the former president call for peace in Lebanon before hosting him.

On a crisp, sunny day in the largest Arab-majority city in the US, dozens of people gathered outside the Great Commoner cafe to catch a glimpse of Donald Trump. “What we want is peace,” Trump told a group of Arab-American business leaders inside the Dearborn, Michigan, restaurant - days before the presidential election.

Former President Trump stopped in Dearborn, Michigan — a city where a majority of people are Arab American. He and Vice President Harris are each holding Friday night rallies in Milwaukee.

The city has been roiled by political turmoil, with many upset with the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
