Story summary

President Donald Trump has been conducting a nationwide campaign tour ahead of the 2026 midterm elections to bolster turnout for Republicans who are defending their control of Congress. Over October, Trump spent about 70 hours on Air Force One traveling between rallies across Republican-friendly areas such as Texas, Kansas, and Ohio. During these trips, he has been accompanied by an eclectic mix of passengers including Cabinet members, senior White House aides, and celebrities like boxing legends Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather.

At a recent rally in Michigan, Trump invited rapper Nicki Minaj to join him on stage, where she endorsed his presidency and said she would support him "forever." In return, Trump praised her for having a “beautiful ass,” which has become a recurring theme during his campaign speeches. The president also used the opportunity to criticize Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Nicki Minaj's shift from criticizing Trump in 2020 to endorsing him now represents a notable political realignment for an artist known for provocative performances and controversial statements. Despite her support, Trump remains constitutionally barred from seeking another presidential term after his previous two terms. The presence of celebrities like Minaj aims to energize the Republican base during this critical election period.
