Story summary

Republican Senator Ashley Moody of Florida joked during President Donald Trump's rally in Daytona Beach on Friday that she should be upset he didn't praise her "asset" like he did Nicki Minaj’s. At a previous rally in Michigan, Trump had commented on Minaj's "beautiful a**," drawing criticism for the inappropriate remarks. Moody and fellow Republican candidate Byron Donalds were onstage with Trump at the Florida event when the senator made light of the situation, noting they were the only two present who could have been referenced in such a way. The comments reflect ongoing discussions about Trump’s behavior and the reactions from his supporters as Republicans grapple with public scrutiny over such remarks.
