Trump and Nicki Minaj Campaign for Mike Rogers in Michigan

President Donald Trump held a campaign rally at McMorran Place Arena in Port Huron, Michigan, on October 25, to support Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers. The event took place nine days before the November 3 midterm elections in a closely watched race for an open Senate seat that could influence control of the U.S. Senate.

During the rally, Trump targeted Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, claiming El-Sayed should not be allowed into the U.S. Capitol without passing through a metal detector due to alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Rapper Nicki Minaj appeared alongside the president, urging voters to provide Trump with a strong congressional team for his final two years in office and expressing her support for the Trump Accounts savings program.

In a separate interview with NBC, Mike Rogers criticized El-Sayed's alleged adherence to a radical Islamic agenda, though he denied calling his opponent a terrorist and avoided confirming if he considers himself a MAGA Republican. The Republican efforts followed a Saturday campaign event in Detroit where Democrats campaigned for El-Sayed.
