Trump Announces Support: Mike Rogers For Michigan Senate

On Monday, President Trump announced that Mike Rogers has his support for Michigan Senator.

This will no doubt boost his primary chances.

Rogers is also the preferred candidate of many Senate Republicans and he has the support of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

But this has many scratching their heads as they look at previous moves and statements Rogers has made.

(Mike Rogers) has my complete and total endorsement. He knows how to win.

Thank you for the endorsement, @realdonaldtrump! Now is the time to unite to defeat the Biden-Slotkin agenda. Together we will secure the border, stop Bidenomics, end the EV mandates, and build a strong and bright future for all Michiganders! pic.twitter.com/zuEK5g75ai

Washington Examiner reports:

Former President Donald Trump endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) on Monday in the crowded primary for retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) seat.

Rogers and the National Republican Senatorial Committee have been working together to try and clear the field well before the August primary, allowing the GOP candidate more time to work on appealing to the general electorate. Trump opted to back Rogers, whom he called “highly respected,” over businessman Sandy Pensler, who has the support of former 2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

“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 wrote on his Truth Social platform. “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.”

Rogers, who served in the House from 2001 to 2015 and chaired the House Intelligence Committee, faces a crowded primary field, which saw the surprise addition of former Rep. Justin Amash in late February. Amash retired from the House in 2021 after disavowing Trump and leaving the GOP, becoming an independent and later a libertarian. His entry into the race complicated Rogers’s path to the nomination.

He is also facing former Rep. Peter Meijer, who lost his 2022 House primary to a challenger backed by Trump. Meijer is the great-grandson of the founder of the Meijer supermarket chain, a mainstay in Michigan that grew his family’s net worth to an estimated $6 billion. Despite those attributes, Meijer faces an uphill climb in winning Michigan’s GOP primary, where the state GOP has fully embraced Trump since his 2016 win and remained loyal.

Here’s what Rand Paul has to say on it:

Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle. @MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump.

You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice?

Who’s next, John Bolton? pic.twitter.com/TZXRYLtFv6

Trump picked the worst Deep State candidate?

Or should we wonder about Rand Paul?

The fog of war is thick.

This right here is why Rand Paul can’t be trusted. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Mike Rogers is running against a guy that impeached Trump. Notice Rand Paul purposefully leaves that out.

So Trump is suppose to endorse someone that impeached him? Now that really would be aligning with Liz Cheney. https://t.co/o4AWKKCNLG

Looks like Rogers was a fan of FISA.

Have things changed over there?

Trump repeatedly said that FISA was used to target his campaign. He just endorsed this guy for US Senate, shown here defending FISA and supporting its renewal, saying it isn’t used against Americans. @realDonaldTrump Mike Rogers is the swamp.

The question you have to ask yourself is, do you trust Trump?

Is there something happening behind the scenes, some info that we’re not privy to that would make this endorsement make complete sense?

Is this a political move on the chess board?

Just think about all the info we know.

We know a lot.

We see what’s happening in this country. We have a good idea who’s behind it.

We see the traitors. We see their actions and how they put Americans last.

And some of us are better than others at connecting the dots.

If we see it, how much more does Trump see it?

He gets all the intel we do plus more.

So it really does come down to that question, do you trust Trump?

And as always, keep praying over him and that he’s guided well.
