Former Michigan U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers has received a ringing endorsement for his U.S. Senate race from Josh Holmes, a political operative and podcast host who has been one of Sen. Mitch McConnellâs top strategists for decades.
Holmes, who served as Chief of Staff to McConnell for years and managed McConnellâs 2014 re-election campaign, made the endorsement during an episode of his âRuthless Podcast,â which Holmes has co-hosted since 2020. The âRuthless Podcastâ has been accurately described as being âtied inextricably to the establishment that former President Donald Trump railed against, and that its hosts almost literally embody.â
During an episode in which the hosts spoke about the need for more aggressive action against Iran, Rogers was interviewed, and Holmes gave gushing praise to the long-time deep state agent, hoping that Rogers could vanquish a slew of more anti-establishment competition in Michiganâs U.S. Senate primary this year.
âI think this race isâŠcould be a very sneaky, awesome race for Republicans, but theyâre not completely insulated from idiocy. Like, the way that we lose races like this is that you donât get candidates like [Rogers] and that they have to fight these bloody primaries with f*ckinâ absolute dipsh*ts,â Holmes said.
âAnd I think that this is the case here. I mean, heâs definitely got a primary. Thereâs a couple different iterations of who heâs fighting here. But thatâs the guy (Rogers) who could get it done, in my view, and if heâs there, if heâs on the ballot, itâs going to be on the tight top of the ticket. I think he could win. I really do,â he added.

It is no surprise because a McConnell operative would be so enamored with Rogers considering his record of serving the U.S. intelligence community and making frequent hostile statements against Trump, as Big League Politics has reported:
âDuring an interview with CBS News in April 2023, Rogers was asked if he would support Trump if he became the nominee. Rogers refused to answer and stated frankly that Trump would not be the nominee in 2024.
âI donât believe today as Iâm sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Donât believe it⊠He may actually stay in for a while. I just donât think I believe he will be [the nominee]. His troubles are mounting, his fundraising is waning,â Rogers saidâŠ
