Nicki Minaj with US President Donald Trump, whose approval rating stands at 34 percent — the lowest recorded ahead of a midterm since Harry Truman's 33 percent in 1946, according to a New York Times/Siena poll.Nicki Minaj, with Americans voting on November 3, joins a Trump presidency that Cook polling shows trailing Democrats in Senate races in Ohio, Texas and Iowa.
At a Port Huron rally, Donald Trump brought out David Beamer, whose son Todd died fighting the hijackers on Flight 93, and urged Michigan to 'stop a jihadist' reaching the Capitol. Critics branded the attack Islamophobic. Abdul El-Sayed denies any Muslim Brotherhood ties and hit back: 'I will be Senator Mohamed to you, bro.' He faces Republican Mike Rogers on 3 November.
El-Sayed mocked Trump's ties to the Saudis and a $400 million Qatari jet.
Mike Rogers told 'Meet the Press' he has 'never called him a terrorist'.
The White House says Trump will keep calling out El-Sayed 'without apology'.
