Malik Obama, the half-brother of former president Barack, has announced his support for Donald Trump.
The Kenyan national announced his support for the Republican nominee via X on Wednesday, September 4.
Malik has long been a supporter of Trump having endorsed him the previous two presidential elections. On Wednesday, he simply posted, “I am Malik Obama. I’m a registered Republican and I’m voting for President Donald Trump.”
Malik joins a growing number of Democratic families endorsing the former president. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly endorsed Trump at the end of August, while numerous family members of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz also expressed support for Trump.
Malik first announced Trump back in 2016 when he was still on the campaign trail, citing his disappointment in his half-brother.
