Strategic Support and Broader Endorsements
Trump’s potential presidency garners support outside typical circles, with Michigan Muslim leaders praising his vow to end wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Imam Belal Alzuhairi highlights Trump’s family values, which resonate with communities emphasizing children’s wellbeing.
“For these and many other reasons, he has my full endorsement.” – Rep. Thomas Massie
The National Border Patrol Council adds to Trump’s endorsement list, backing his robust border security stance. This comes after Border Patrol Union President Paul Perez’s disparagement of the current administration’s policies, calling for stronger immigrant controls.

Conservative Values and Electability
Massie’s endorsement underlines Trump’s electability for conservatives focused on limiting government bureaucracy and avoiding wars. As Massie believes Trump uniquely positions himself to steer the nation from further conflicts, others join the trend, including the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“Donald Trump will put Americans first by securing our liberties at home and preventing needless wars abroad. He will make America Healthy Again by empowering small farmers and taking on special interests that have corrupted our healthcare system. He has even committed to freeing Ross Ulbricht who was wrongfully sentenced.” – Rep. Thomas Massie
These endorsements compound the momentum, reflecting a potential shift in public opinion as the 2024 election draws nearer. With Rep. Massie’s unique perspective and past conflicts with Trump, this support may sway independent and libertarian voters as well.
