«President Trump endorsed Mike Rogers. Tonight, so am I,» said Pensler during the Michigan rally.
In a surprising turn of events at former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Republican businessman Sandy Pensler announced his withdrawal from the U.S. Senate race and threw his unwavering support behind U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers.
In his speech on Saturday evening, Pensler emphasized the importance of party unity and implementing Trump’s policies. «My campaign was always about making America better. The best way to do that is to enact President Trump’s policies», Pensler said.
He added, «To do that, we need control of the Senate. A divisive continued primary effort hurts the chances of that, and that’s not OK. So tonight, I’m doing the right thing and ceasing my Senate candidacy. . It’s the right thing. President Trump endorsed Mike Rogers. Tonight, so am I.»
The businessman’s endorsement of Rogers was unequivocal. «Mike’s going to make a heck of a senator», Pensler added, aligning himself with the broader Republican establishment, which has largely rallied around Rogers in recent months.
