Trump campaigns in Michigan a day after Obama rallies Democrats

Trump’s visit backs Mike Rogers in a tight Senate race as Democrats seek to flip a seat Republicans have not won in more than 30 years.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump traveled to Port Huron, Michigan, to campaign for Republican Mike Rogers in the open Senate race set for Election Day, November 3.
  • Republicans seek to flip this open seat held by retiring Democrat Gary Peters to overturn a narrow 53-47 Senate majority, though the party has not won a Michigan Senate race in over three decades.
  • Trump and Rogers have attacked Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, with Rogers alleging ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Trump labeling him a "jihadist"; El-Sayed dismissed these claims as "shameful."
  • During his Detroit rally on Saturday, former President Barack Obama framed attacks on El-Sayed as attempts to make him appear "less patriotic and less American," saying "We have seen this movie before."
  • Voter frustration with the economy and the war with Iran defines this contentious race, as progressives hope a victory will demonstrate their clout in this swing state and shape the 2028 presidential primary.
