Nicki Minaj pledges to support Donald Trump again during Michigan Republican campaign rally
Nicki Minaj told President Donald Trump she would support him forever at a Michigan rally backing Mike Rogers and John James in the midterms.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the Michigan rally around Trump’s attacks on Abdul El-Sayed, with NBC News, the New York Times, Al Jazeera, and South China Morning Post all foregrounding Islamophobic rhetoric, while CBS News and The Independent also emphasize the Senate race context. Fox News and The Hill instead lead with Nicki Minaj’s appearance and her pledge of support for Trump if he runs again, which the BBC News extract mentions as her joining him onstage. The Guardian US is the outlier in spotlighting Trump’s comments about Minaj’s appearance, and only its extract foregrounds that angle.
