Rapper Nicki Minaj accompanied US President Donald Trump to a Michigan rally to campaign for Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. Trump praised Minaj's figure and invited her to speak from the stage. Despite her criticism of some policies during his first term, Minaj has expressed her support for Trump. She has described him as the "number one fan" of her work.
In Michigan, the race between Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers is tight, with less than a week remaining until the vote. Obama also made a speech for El-Sayed on Saturday, as Democrats are actively campaigning in critical elections that could determine control of Congress. Trump's campaign emphasized El-Sayed's Muslim faith and accused him of inviting terrorists into the country.
El-Sayed dismissed Trump's comments as Islamophobic, arguing that they divert attention from the real issues affecting Americans, such as high gas prices and soaring grocery and medical costs.
On Sunday, Minaj supported Trump at a rally in Port Huron, wearing a gold Gucci suit. She led the crowd in chanting Trump's name and the names of other Republican candidates in Michigan. Trump commended Minaj, saying she "gets it," "is smart," and "never looked more beautiful."
