President Donald Trump campaigned in Kentucky on Saturday as part of a multistate push to boost Republican candidates before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, with control of Congress at stake.

At a rally in Highland Heights, Trump promoted House candidate Ed Gallrein and praised other Republican candidates, including Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, in unusually personal remarks about their appearance. He also described his second term as more powerful than his first and repeated a promise that every adult American would receive $5,000 if Republicans retain the House and Senate, a proposal that would require congressional approval.

Trump’s campaign swing has also emphasized economic pledges. At a Friday rally in Dalton, Georgia, he highlighted Hyundai Transys’ plan to invest nearly $560 million in West Point. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s office said the company will upgrade two facilities, build a third plant for hybrid-vehicle powertrains and create 320 jobs.

The president is scheduled to continue campaigning during the coming week, with rallies planned in Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Florida, Georgia and Michigan. His Oct. 25 Michigan appearance will follow an Oct. 24 visit by former President Barack Obama, who is campaigning for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Republicans are defending their congressional majorities amid voter concern about prices, tariffs and the war with Iran. ABC reported that some farmers who previously supported Trump are reconsidering their allegiance as fuel, fertilizer and equipment costs rise, while polls indicate competitive Senate races in states that have recently favored Republicans.
