Former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., on Tuesday announced he is endorsing former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race.
Rogers, who's running for the open U.S. Senate from the Great Lakes State, announced his endorsement of Trump in a Daily Caller opinion column.
"Today, our nation is at a dangerous crossroads," Rogers wrote. "Thanks to Joe Biden, families across America pay over $700 more monthly for everyday goods, while over 60% of Americans can't afford a $500 emergency expense. The cost of eggs is up 70%, and milk, bread, and cereal are up 16%. Parents are taking on multiple jobs just to keep up, but they're met with a 55% increase in gas just to get to work. Inflation used to be a relic of the 70s, but now it's a household term; the resulting high interest rates have priced young families out of purchasing a home as the 30-year mortgage rate has doubled since 2020.
"That's Joe Biden's America. That's why I'm endorsing Donald Trump for President."
Rogers proceeded to explain that "President Trump's leadership and policies worked" during the former president's time in office.
"Clearly, America needs a return to strong leadership, but it must come soon," Rogers wrote. "I have unending hope for America, but we do not have time for on-the-job training or four more years of failure. Biden's crushing cost increases are hurting Michigan working families and threatening to destroy the American Dream, and time is not on our side."
Rogers, former chair of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who has announced she was retiring.
Trump currently is the clear front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
