\n LANSING, Mich. (AP) \u2014 Donald Trump\u2019s allies are working to win over Arab American voter s who are unhappy with President Joe Biden\u2019s support for Israel.The effort is led by Massad Boulos, whose son married Tiffany Trump, the former president\u2019s younger daughter, two years ago. Boulos, a Lebanese-born businessman, is now using his connections in the Arab American community and meeting with its leaders in Michigan, home to many Arab American Democrats who are disenchanted with Biden. But any apparent political opportunity for Trump may be limited. Many Arab Americans remain offended by Trump\u2019s ban, while in office, on immigration from several majority Muslim countries and other remarks they consider insulting. Trump also has criticized Biden for not being a strong enough supporter of Israel.In interviews with The Associated Press, Boulos outlined his outreach efforts and discussed his plans. Those who have met with him shared their thoughts on whether the strategy is working.<\/p>\n
An unknown emissaryBoulos, who is frequently overseas managing a Nigerian-based conglomerate, first became directly involved in U.S. politics in 2019 when he met Trump. At the time, his son Michael was dating Tiffany Trump.<\/p>\n
Before the 2020 election, Boulos assisted with Arab American outreach in a minor role. His involvement has significantly expanded this year as Trump allies aim to exploit divisions within Biden\u2019s Democratic base. Boulos is working closely with an Arab Americans for Trump group that has set up operations in Arizona and Michigan. The Michigan meetings<\/p>\n
What to know about the 2024 Election<\/p>\n
In May, Massad and Michael Boulos traveled to metro Detroit with Richard Grenell, a key foreign policy adviser to Trump and his former ambassador to Germany, to meet with a group of close to 40 Arab American activists from across the country.<\/p>\n
A little over a week later, Boulos returned for a more extensive round of engagements. He conducted individual meetings with several prominent community leaders and organized larger gatherings, each drawing nearly 50 Arab American community members.<\/p>\n
Those who have engaged with Boulos so far are skeptical about the impact of these efforts. They note a lack of substantial evidence supporting the assertion that Trump is the better candidate for Arab Americans.\u201cMassad is unable to convince people to come to Trump\u2019s side because he hasn\u2019t offered anything substantial to the community,\u201d said Osama Siblani, a publisher of the Arab American News in Dearborn.Electoral impactBoth major parties have focused on the Arab American vote due to the community\u2019s significant population in Michigan, which is expected to play a decisive role in the presidential election.Trump won Michigan by just over 10,000 votes in 2016. Biden retook the state for the Democrats in 2020 by a roughly 154,000-vote margin. Michigan holds the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation, with more than 310,000 residents of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry, according to the most recent census. More than 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters in February cast ballots for \u201cuncommitted\u201d in the presidential race, enough to pick up two delegates. In two Muslim-majority Michigan cities, including Dearborn, which holds close to 110,000 people, the \u201cuncommitted\u201d vote defeated Biden in the Democratic primary. <\/p>\n
The Trump connectionBoulos is the latest relative to rise in Trump\u2019s political circle. The former president has a long history of putting family members and their relatives in key roles in his campaigns and at the White House.Recently, Trump handpicked his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as the Republican National Committee\u2019s co-chair.During his first term, he appointed his daughter Ivanka as a senior White House adviser and his son-in-law Jared Kushner to oversee major issues such as Middle East peace, criminal justice reform and the government\u2019s coronavirus response.Boulos calls Trump a \u201cfamily friend.\u201d But Boulos insists that his outreach efforts so far have been \u201cmore of a personal effort to reconnect with friends.\u201d He adds that the key messages emerging from meetings with Arab Americans are communicated to Trump and influenced a recent statement on the Middle East posted on Trump\u2019s social media platform, Truth Social. <\/p>\n
But to some attendees of the meetings, the direct connection to Trump matters little when Boulos can\u2019t make promises on future policy. \u201cFamily members are are fine. But at the end of the day, we have to sit down with someone who\u2019s going to be a policymaker,\u201d Siblani said. \u201cAnd knowing Trump, only Trump can sit down and talk about his policy.\u201d___Associated Press reporters Jill Colvin in Washington, Abby Sewell in Beirut, Lebanon, and Chinedu Asadu in Lagos, Nigeria, contributed to this report.<\/p>\n
