On Thursday, President Donald Trump endorsed Mike Rogers, the Republican Party’s preferred candidate, as he seeks to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI).
Trump previously talked Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-MI) out of challenging Rogers ahead of the 2026 primary, with his active involvement in the wide-open Michigan Senate race coming as the GOP hopes to flip the seat in a bid to expand its narrow 53-47 majority in the upper chamber.
“The wide America First Patriot Mike Rogers is running for U.S. Senate in the Great State of Michigan, a State I love and WON BIG!” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social. “Mike Rogers has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”
As Democrats also line up to succeed Peters, Trump touted Rogers as the GOP candidate who would focus on enacting his “America First” agenda. Much is riding on Rogers, a former longtime congressman and FBI agent from Livingston County, as Republicans have not won a Senate election in Michigan since 1994.
