It was a weekend of battling presidential endorsements, and I think most people can agree that Donald Trump came out ahead.
In a move that could cost Kamala Harrris the state of Michigan, which has a large Muslim population, Amer Galib, the Yemen-born mayor of the Muslim-majority Detroit suburb of Hamtramck, announced that he is endorsing Trump. After a long meeting with Trump, Mayor Galib posted on Facebook that he and Trump didn’t "agree on everything," but he is "a man of principles,” and “I believe he is the right choice for this critical time.”
Trump told Breitbart News that Galib was a fan of his Administration “because he saw no wars — outside of defeating ISIS, but I inherited that…There was no October 7. There was no Russian attack on Ukraine. He sees that and he told me — he saw a world that was at peace. Now, we have a world that’s going to end up in World War 3 and I can stop that.”
While you might think from media coverage that Muslim discontent with Democrats stems solely from Biden and Harris’ weather-vane support of Israel in Gaza, there’s long been a growing rift. American Muslims who hold conservative religious values have seen the party taken over by far-left radicals pushing ideas like drag queens and gay porn in elementary schools and “transing” minors without parental consent, and they’re just as offended as Christians and Orthodox Jews are.
Also, lest you think this endorsement means that Trump will not stand behind Israel, here’s a lifelong Democrat Jewish voter from Pennsylvania who is supporting Trump. He explains, “If you’re a Jew, if you’re pro-Israel, there’s only one candidate here.”
And in case you missed it, earlier this month, Trump won the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police.
And what endorsements did Kamala Harris pick up to offset losing Muslims, Jews, the police and the Teamsters union (who chose not to endorse anyone after their members voiced 60% support for Trump)? How about the official union of IRS agents? Huzzah!

An IRS union spokesman said, “She supports the issues that matter most to our members.” No kidding!
It’s hardly a surprise, since 97% of 2022 donations from IRS union members went to Democrats. Kamala also cast the tie-breaking vote for the laughably-named “Inflation Reduction Act” that funded the hiring of over 80,000 new IRS agents. They were supposed to go after “the rich,” but one of their major operations so far has been cracking down on service workers to report their tip income. You know, that tax she copied Trump on and said she’d do away with.
If that endorsement doesn’t convince you, how about this: 700 “former national security and military officials” have endorsed Harris. Or to put it another way, a lot of Deep State elites from the same alphabet agencies that are trying to crush our freedoms of speech and assembly. And yes, as Bob Hoge at Redstate.com notes, nine of them also signed that letter in 2020 lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop likely being Russian disinformation. They include such notorious names as James Clapper, Leon Panetta and John Brennan. As Hoge puts it, this isn’t a list of respected intelligence officials, it’s a rogue’s gallery.
