REUTERSRepublican presidential nominee and former US President Donald Trump greets a Michigan Muslim community leader at a rally in Novi, Michigan, US, October 26, 2024. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe. Trump picked Republican senator Marco Rubio, a staunch supporter of Israel for Secretary of State. Another key Trump ally, Massad Boulos, the Lebanese father-in-law of Trump's daughter Tiffany, met repeatedly with Arab American and Muslim leaders. Rola Makki, the Lebanese American, Muslim vice chair for outreach of the Michigan Republican Party, agreed.
