Just the News, the Washington Examiner, Breitbart News and the BBC report that President Donald Trump appeared with rapper Nicki Minaj at a rally in Michigan on Sunday to support Republican Mike Rogers in the U.S. Senate race. The outlets say Rogers is running against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed ahead of the 3 November midterm elections, which the BBC describes as a tight contest. The BBC reports that Minaj praised Trump and that Trump said El-Sayed would invite jihadists into America if he wins, remarks El-Sayed has called Islamophobic. The Washington Examiner gives the rally location as Port Huron, while Breitbart gives it as Detroit.
