Port Huron Rally
Donald Trump joined a Republican campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, and invited rapper Nicki Minaj on stage after praising her figure and calling her the "queen of rap." Nicki Minaj told the crowd "We love Trump" and promised to "support him forever" as she campaigned alongside Trump ahead of the November legislative elections. Trump also campaigned for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers and gubernatorial candidate John James during the Port Huron event.
“And I will continue to support you forever and ever. If you run again, I will support you again.”
Trump and Minaj both referenced the midterms, with Minaj saying "We really need all of these great people to be elected" and calling the upcoming vote a "major turning point for our country." Minaj said she would back Trump again if he sought another term, telling him "If you run again, I will support you again."
Explicit Remarks and Backlash
Donald Trump made sexually explicit remarks about Nicki Minaj at the Michigan rally, with Al Jazeera describing the comments as "sexually explicit remarks" during her appearance. Trump also said "I hope Nicki wasn't insulted, but we love Nicki" as he signaled for Minaj to stand up while the crowd cheered. Abdul El-Sayed fired back at Donald Trump after the president attacked the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee over his faith and name, according to CNN.
Minaj urged voters to leave transgender minors alone, saying "We don't want our children to be bombarded with sex changes, right?" Minaj also said "Leave them out of it" as she addressed transgender-related issues involving children during the rally.
Campaign Stakes in Michigan
The BBC said the Michigan race between Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers was locked in a tight contest with just over a week to go before the midterms. The BBC reported that Democrats were also aggressively campaigning, with close elections taking place on 3 November to decide which party controls Congress for the rest of Trump's presidency. Trump focused on El-Sayed's Muslim faith and background, alleging that he will "invite jihadists" into America if he wins, the BBC said.
The Guardian said Trump reiterated his apparent love for buxom bums during the rally and encouraged the crowd to compliment Minaj's behind. The Guardian also reported that Trump told the crowd the media buzz about his comments was "fake news" while he insisted his crack was "in fun."
