Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) said on Sunday the Muslim community in Michigan trusts former President Trump over Vice President Harris to guide Middle East policy.

“For the people of the state of Michigan, actions speak louder than words. I was just at a rally yesterday with former President Trump, and I can share with you, he has got a tremendous support from the Muslim community, and it’s because they want peace in the Middle East,” McClain said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday” with Chris Stirewalt.

“And they trust him much more as a leader than they ever would under Vice President Harris,” she continued.

Stirewalt noted Trump has supported military action by Israel and moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem during his administration. He asked McClain whether she thinks the issue “comes down to” whether “they like his leadership vibe better.”

“I think they like the fact that under President Trump, there was peace in the Middle East. There weren’t wars that were raging. We didn’t have any Americans held hostage in the Middle East like we do now under this Harris and Biden administration,” she responded. “That’s what they liked.”

Muslim and Arab Americans have pushed the Democratic ticket to take further steps to hold Israel accountable for Palestinian deaths stemming from its war with Hamas and other Iranian proxy groups in the region.

A recent poll showed Trump leading Harris nationally among Arab American and Muslim voters, by 4 points, amid criticism of the Biden administration’s support for Israel.
