Trump&#8217;s campaign had reached\u200d out prior to confirm the visit, contingent upon\u200c him delivering a message supportive of resolving the crisis in Lebanon and improving\u2064 the conditions for those affected by \u200dthe conflicts.

The move is a major breakthrough for the Trump campaign among a traditionally stubborn Democratic voter bloc, Arab Americans, who have grown disillusioned over the Biden-Harris administration&rsquo;s handling of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We expect some remarks around ending the war and bringing peace to the Middle East,&rdquo; Abbas said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not here to get political. I&rsquo;m not here to tell people which way I&rsquo;m voting. I am simply here because our family is being slaughtered and we just want to end the war. Stop the bombing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Michigan has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the United States, with a sizable amount in Dearborn. Their votes, or lack of turnout, could help swing the election in one of the most crucial swing states.<\/p>\n<p>Trump allies had reached out weeks prior about hosting the former president in Dearborn, according to Abbas. His requirement for the visit was a statement from Trump that showed the former president &ldquo;has the intentions of ending the war and helping us rebuild Lebanon and helping the displaced and the injured.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This requirement was satisfied on Wednesday when Trump released a statement on X condemning the Biden-Harris position on the Middle East while touting his own record.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will fix the problems caused by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and stop the suffering and destruction in Lebanon,&rdquo; he wrote. &ldquo;I want to see the Middle East return to real peace, a lasting peace, and we will get it done properly so it doesn&rsquo;t repeat itself every 5 or 10 years!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will preserve the equal partnership among all Lebanese communities,&rdquo; Trump continued. &ldquo;Your friends and family in Lebanon deserve to live in peace, prosperity, and harmony with their neighbors, and that can only happen with peace and stability in the Middle East.&nbsp;I look forward to working with the Lebanese community living in the United States of America to ensure the safety and security of the great people of Lebanon.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Abbas said that roughly 100 people from the community are expected to attend the event.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He&rsquo;s coming to us to basically tell us, &lsquo;Look, I did what you guys asked. My intentions, my true intentions are to bring peace and to end the war,&rsquo;&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has seen a series of victories with the Arab and Muslim communities recently, including endorsements from two Democratic mayors of Muslim-majority cities. He brought up local Muslim leaders with him during a rally in Michigan last week.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris has largely relied on surrogates to ease tensions among the Arab and Muslim communities in Dearborn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite disillusionment with Harris, many Arab and Muslim Americans are still reluctant to get behind Trump, weary of his pro-Israel position and record. Many are also bitter about the Trump administration&rsquo;s travel ban from several majority-Muslim countries.<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces perhaps his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">toughest swing state battle<\/a> in Michigan, where the <em>Real Clear Politics<\/em> polling average gives Harris the biggest lead over her rival, at 0.8 points.
