Nicki Minaj appeared at a Trump campaign event in Port Huron, Michigan, where she expressed support for the president and Republican candidates. The rapper, wearing a gold-colored designer suit, led attendees in chanting Trump’s name and the names of Republican candidates in the state, calling the upcoming elections a “major turning point” for the country.
Minaj arrived at the event aboard Air Force One and later posted content to social media from the president’s plane in which she humorously auditioned for the White House press secretary position, a role recently vacated. Trump praised Minaj during his remarks, complimenting her appearance and describing her as intelligent and understanding of the political landscape.
The rally focused on Michigan’s competitive Senate race, where Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers with voting just over a week away. During his speech, Trump centered his criticism of El-Sayed on the candidate’s Muslim background and faith, making assertions about his foreign policy positions. El-Sayed has previously responded to such remarks by characterizing them as discriminatory and redirecting voter attention toward economic and healthcare concerns.
Minaj has previously identified herself as Trump’s “number one fan” despite voicing disapproval of certain policies during his first term. The rapper has previously lent her support to various Trump administration initiatives, including those related to religious freedom and immigration programs. Democratic leaders, including former President Barack Obama, have also been actively campaigning in Michigan for El-Sayed as both parties mobilize efforts ahead of the competitive midterm elections.
