Former President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate GOP primary, giving him a high-five in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow. Trump praised Rogers as a “highly respected former congressman” in a fiery endorsement on Truth Social, making it clear who he wants to see take the political reins in Michigan.

Rogers, who received a boost from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, caught Trump’s eye with his unwavering support for the America First agenda. The ex-president lauded Rogers’ dedication to securing the border, combatting inflation, boosting the economy, supporting our military and veterans, and protecting the Second Amendment. It’s music to the ears of conservatives looking for a strong voice in the Senate who will fight for their values.
In a political landscape filled with turncoats, Rogers stands out as a loyal ally of Trump, having previously endorsed him for the 2024 election. In contrast, former Republican Reps. Peter Meijer and Justin Amash, who both turned their backs on Trump, are also in the race. It’s clear where Rogers’ allegiance lies, and Trump supporters can rest easy knowing he’s got their backs.
With influential figures like former Detroit Police Chief James Craig and several Republican senators in his corner, Rogers is leading the pack in the primary race. The endorsements speak volumes about his ability to rally support and get things done for Michigan. As Trump continues to hold a lead over President Joe Biden in the battleground state, Rogers could be the key to maintaining conservative values in the Senate.
In a volatile political climate where a single seat can make all the difference, Rogers’ candidacy offers a beacon of hope for Republicans. With momentum on his side and the backing of Trump and other prominent figures, Rogers is poised to shake up the Senate and bring a much-needed dose of conservative leadership to Michigan. It’s a race worth watching for anyone invested in the future of the GOP and the nation as a whole.
