Trump’s and Obama’s dueling rallies in a crucial swing state

With just over a week to go until the midterms, both parties brought out their heavyweights over the weekend in Michigan, a critical battleground state with a neck-and-neck Senate race.

Trump was campaigning for Republican Mike Rogers, who hopes to be the first Republican elected to the Senate in over 30 years there.

He's a former congressman who led the House Intelligence Committee until his term ended in 2015.

He also previously served in the Army and worked for the FBI.

Trump touted his credentials at a rally yesterday in eastern Michigan.

I call him apple pie.

He's like perfect, this guy.

He's like central testing.

He's what your state is all about.

He really is.

He's a fantastic man.

He's going to be one of the great United States senators, Mike Rogers.

Rogers is running against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who, if elected, would be the first Muslim senator in history.

Over the course of this campaign, Rogers has accused El-Sayed of being linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood without evidence, which he has denied.

They clashed over this in a debate last week.

If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know, are you for America or are you for these terrorist groups overseas?

He keeps raising this question about this association with an organization I've never been a part of.

Because my mom, who's a nurse in Missouri, it doesn't make any sense.

And it's actually really quite beneath you, Mike.

It's really quite beneath you.

And Trump took those unsubstantiated claims even further yesterday.

I'm here to keep a... jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator.

And that's the fact.

We're not going to let that happen.

Reuters correspondent Beau Erickson spoke with us from that rally, and he says presidents with low approval ratings usually stay away from tight races like Michigan's, and Trump's is lower than ever.
