As polls indicate that former president Donald Trump’s allies are working to crush him on Muslim United activists and donors in important swing states, it is said that he is officially working with his allies to win over Arab American and Muslim voters.
According to Josh Rogin, a Washington Post journalist,” Arab-American sponsors and activists from all over the country plan to join in Oakland Hills, Michigan for a private dining initiated by” Trump’s former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell. Among those in attendance may become Michael Boulos, who is married to Tiffany Trump, and his father, Dr. Massad Boulos.
Insider notes , that the elder Boulos is the CEO of SCOA Nigeria PLC. He also runs a car assembly and supply business in Nigeria, according to The New York Times, called Boulos Enterprises. Michael was born in Lebanon and was raised in Nigeria.
Rogan points out that the meal comes in the wake of a , Times surveys showing that Muslim and Arab Americans have fled Biden for Trump in crucial swing state.
The polling average between six fight states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin–found Trump at a whopping 57 cent with Muslim and Arab American voters, while Biden scored less than half of that at 25 percent.
Donald Trump surpassed Biden by 57 to 25 among Arab and Muslim voters in five crucial battleground states, according to a poll from the New York Times-Siena College next year.

” Those who say they voted in the 2020 election reported backing Mr. Biden by a similar but opposite margin, 56- 35″ , , Times Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn reported on May 13. The poll was conducted April 28- Does 9 and sampled , 4, 097 listed citizens.
According to Rogan, some dinner attendees now support Trump, while others may have been more open to supporting him.
Syrian-American advocate Sam Assad Hanna, who is expected to attend, is spearheading a grassroots campaign to get voters ‘ votes for Trump in some swing state.
” It has been decades since what we are currently seeing in Gaza and the entire place.” All is thinking, how can we change this? What can we do”? he told Rogan. ” That’s why people, including me, are now being more active in support of bringing Trump back to office”.
According to the Post, Michigan- based Dr. Yahya Basha, who is still confused, helped arrange the meal.
” It’s too early to say Trump is the one. That’s the reason we are hosting an event for his agent, to see how he views the area and what kinds of issues he may do”, Basha told Rogan. ” With]the Biden ] administration, I was hopeful for a better policy, but unfortunately the delivery was lacking”.
The conference and Trump’s obvious outreach to Muslim and Arab American voters come at a time when frustrations exist between Biden and other left-leaning voters, such as young voters and progressives, over how he handled the Israel-Hamas conflict and its effects in Gaza. Despite Biden’s obvious attempts to appeal to these citizens after declaring support for Israel in the midst of Hamas ‘ terrorist attacks in October, these concerns continue to percolate.
There is no more tangible proof than the persistent resilience of the indifferent movement, which has resulted in more than half a million Democrat major voters criticizing Biden’s managing of the battle with “uncommitted” or “uninstructed” votes in Democrat primaries in crucial battleground and deep-blue states.
Later on Tuesday, the” Hear to Michigan” campaign launched the action at the location of the noted meeting. In the February 27 key, Listen to Michigan aimed to collect 10, 000 indifferent votes to require a ceasefire and rally Biden’s managing of the war. It smashed its aim, with more than 100, 000 Michiganders picking the “uncommitted” solution.
For guide, the ratio between Trump and Biden in Michigan in 2020 was  , 154, 188, and the party’s site notes that the risk being made to Biden is that these citizens will lay out the general vote.
” These primaries are an early litmus test for how much Biden’s stance on Gaza could hurt his reelection bid, the threat to Biden’s reelection is n’t that anti- war Democrats will vote for Trump, it’s that they wo n’t vote at all”, Listen to Michigan’s website , states.
Losing 100, 000 votes in a state that Trump won in 2016 would be very risky for Biden, especially given that polls currently show that he is only three points behind him in a three-way race in Michigan with Robert F. Kennedy. The 538 polling average as of Tuesday showed Trump with 41.4 percent, Biden at 40.3 percent, and Kennedy Jr. at 8.7 percent.
The movement spread to other Rust Belt states, like Minnesota and Wisconsin, in the following weeks. On Super Tuesday,  , 45, 914 Minnesotans, or nearly 1 in 5 Democrat primary voters, rejected Biden with the uncommitted option, and 48, 812 Wisconsinites followed suit with “uninstructed” votes on April 2. Biden won Wisconsin in 2020 by just 20, 682 votes, less than half of the uninstructed turnout, and Trump came within 1.5 points of winning Minnesota in 2016.
Biden phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to request a ceasefire days after the Wisconsin primary, but the protesters ‘ demands were ignored. On April 23, the anti-Biden movement continued in the Pennsylvania primary with a group called Uncomitted PA, which aimed to win 40, 000 protest votes in a write-in campaign. While the breakdown is not available for the write- in vote, over 60, 000 voters cast write- in ballots, and Uncommitted PA claims it surpassed its goal. Biden won Pennsylvania by just 81, 660 votes in 2020.
According to the Associated Press, Biden signed legislation that would provide” 26 billion in aid for Israel and approximately$ 1 billion in humanitarian relief for Palestinians in Gaza” the day after. If Israel’s military invades Rafah, he has since threatened to put the weapons in the package at risk.
However, on May 14 in deep-blue Maryland, the threat to withhold aid came after another untimely embarrassment. As of Tuesday, the New York Times election results showed the uncommitted option collected 57, 901 votes, but only 87 percent of the vote was reported.
With six months until the election, Biden has run out of time to address his issue, especially since a Trump surrogate is meeting with Arab American activists in a crucial swing state in addition to the dreaded Arab American and Muslim poll results.
