Trump endorses Rogers in Michigan GOP Senate race
Despite previous criticisms of Donald Trump, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Monday got the much-coveted endorsement of the former president.
“Highly respected former Congressman Mike Rogers is running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Michigan. Mike 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 posted to Truth Social. “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. Mike Rogers will be a Great and Powerful Senator for Michigan, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement. HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN!”
Rogers enthusiastically responded to the endorsement, which could set him apart in a jam-packed Republican field.
“Thank you, Mr. President! Excited to get to work with you to Get America and Michigan Back on Track!” he said.
Rogers was the chair of the powerful House Intelligence Committee before he retired from Congress in 2015 following seven terms representing his mid-Michigan district. He later became a defense lobbyist and moved to Florida.
The Howell native, who now owns a home in White Lake, dropped hints of a run last summer, and then came out of the gate in September with a strong bid to attract Trump voters and place himself atop the field of candidates for the GOP nomination.
