Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Rogers, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan.
Trump praised Rogers’s military and congressional experience and said he would work closely with Trump to enact his America First policies on issues like border security, inflation, and the 2nd Amendment.
“Highly respected former Congressman Mike Rogers is running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Michigan,” Trump said.
Polls show Rogers leading primary challenger Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump.
Rogers said Democrats should be nervous about losing Michigan and that Trump could win the state.
Rogers has “served his Country during a career loaded up with accolades and wins, from the Army to Congress, and now, hopefully, the U.S. Senate,” Trump said.
“Mike will work closely with me to enact our America First Policies. He will tirelessly fight to Secure the Border, Stop Inflation, Grow the Economy, Strengthen our Military / Veteran Support, and Protect and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” he said.
“Mike Rogers will be a Great and Powerful Senator for Michigan, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement,” Trump wrote, adding, “HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN!”
He argued Democrats cater to elites rather than workers and their pro-EV policies advantage China by mandating purchases that use Chinese labor and components.
“You know, places that are really important, you know, those kinds of Reagan Democrats that now have become, you know, Trump Democrats. … That tells you that the Democrats should be nervous about what’s going on here in the state of Michigan. And clearly, the Democrats have been the party of the elite,” Rogers said. “You know, they don’t buy their own groceries. They don’t pump their own gas. That’s why they’re running around the country saying, ‘Everything is better.’
Rogers predicted Trump will win in 2024 with him elected as Senator.
“Well, not if you work for a living, and here in Michigan, we work for a living. So that sends a very clear message, I think, and why I think that puts the president in a great place to actually win the state of Michigan. We win the state of Michigan, we will win,” Rogers added, noting that “Donald Trump will be the next president, and Mike Rogers is going to be the next United States senator here.”
“Forty-percent less labor, and what they’ve done is that they’ve basically mandated you have to buy a product [EVs] that completely advantages the Communist Party of China,” he said, adding that “85 percent of that car has to be processed in China — 85 percent of the electric system and the battery system.”
The endorsements and polls indicate Rogers appealing to Trump’s base is helping him potentially defeat the impeachment-voting Meijer in the primary.
