Amid Walz Family Photo Saga, Barack Obama's Half-Brother Malik Endorses Trump

As an AI-generated photo of Tim Walz's family members wearing 'Walz's For Trump' T-shirt is going viral on social media, former president Barack Obama's half-brother Malik tweeted that he is voting for Donald Trump. The Kenyan-American businessman and former political candidate said that he is a registered Republican. The Harris-Walz campaign is yet to react to these recent revelations. "I am Malik Obama. I'm a registered Republican and I'm voting for President Donald Trump," Barack Obama's half-brother said on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. His support for the former president comes after an AI image of Harris VP pick Tim Walz's family members is going viral on social media. A community note on X said everyone in the photo has four fingers in the badly made AI image.

I am Malik Obama. I'm a registered Republican and I'm voting for President Donald Trump.

I used Facebook, which wasn’t the right platform to do that. But I will say, I don’t agree with his policies," Jeff Walz, Tim Walz's older brother, told News Nation this week. He, however, did not commit to supporting Donald Trump.
