  "account": "Rapper Nicki Minaj has expressed her admiration for US President Donald Trump, stating he has \"changed the energy of the country\" as she campaigned for Republican candidates in Michigan ahead of the midterm elections. At a rally in Port Huron on Sunday, Minaj praised Trump for providing Americans with \"a future to look forward to\" and urged voters to support Republican candidates. She led the crowd in chanting Trump's name and those of the Republican candidates in Michigan, wearing a gold-coloured Gucci-branded suit. Trump praised Minaj as she left the stage, calling her \"beautiful\" and \"smart.\" Earlier in his speech, Trump had highlighted Minaj's presence before inviting her to stand on stage, drawing attention to her figure. Minaj, who has previously been described as Trump's \"number one fan,\" has both supported and criticized some of his policies during his term in office. The rally took place as Michigan's Senate race, featuring Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers, garnered attention. Trump criticized El-Sayed's Muslim faith and background, alleging he would \"invite jihadists\" into the United States if elected. El-Sayed condemned these comments as Islamophobic. Former President Barack Obama also campaigned with El-Sayed on Saturday, as both parties intensified their efforts ahead of the November midterms.",
