Review comments:

• I don't see the support for the statement "A member of the Democratic Party, he worked with what was believed to be the first all-Muslim city council in the United States." in the newsweek reference. It should be referenced to the fox news website. I can't read the NY Times reference but AGF.
• I don't see the support for the statement "Ghalib acknowledged their disagreements on key issues but that he believed that Trump would end the Israel–Hamas war." in the two references given
• Earwig copyvio detector shows 13.0% - violation unlikely
• @Sahaib: Overall very good. Just minor sourcing issues listed above. Please fix and I will approve. Dwkaminski (talk) 13:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Dwkaminski: sorry about the sources, a lot were added by another user (see history). The Newsweek source states that he was a member of the Democratic Party whilst the New York Times sources the rest. The Newsweek sources states "acknowledging some disagreements with the former president" and in the New York Times it states that "President Biden’s support of Israel and a belief that Mr. Trump will end the conflict in the Middle East." You can view the source in its archived form. Sahaib (talk) 13:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sahaib: All good. approved! Dwkaminski (talk) 14:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

• Personally I'm not sure this is interesting enough for DYK. We saw plenty of people cross party lines to endorse Biden or Harris, and I don't believe those would be interesting enough for DYK either. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:25, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
  • @Hey man im josh: I have added some alt hooks. Sahaib (talk) 17:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
    • The alt hooks are much more interesting than what was originally proposed, which seemed relatively run of the mill. Thanks for the additions @Sahaib:. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
