Michigan Mayor Amer Ghalib says Republican is ‘the right choice’ despite some disagreements.
The mayor of the only city in the United States with an all-Muslim government has endorsed former President Donald Trump for November’s presidential election.
Amer Ghalib, who leads the city of Hamtramck in the crucial battleground state of Michigan, said on Sunday that he believes the Republican candidate is “the right choice” despite their disagreements on some issues.
“President Trump and I may not agree on everything, but I know he is a man of principles,” Ghalib said in a post on Facebook.
“Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time. I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences.”
“Now, let the Caravan begin its journey,” Ghalib added. “This is just the starting point.”
