Trump campaigns across Republican strongholds ahead of midterm elections

President Donald Trump campaigned in Georgia and Kentucky as Republicans sought to bolster turnout ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

At a Friday rally in Dalton, Georgia, Trump highlighted Hyundai Transys’ plan to invest nearly $560 million in West Point. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s office announced the plan the previous week, saying the Hyundai Motor Group affiliate would upgrade two manufacturing facilities, build a third plant to expand hybrid-powertrain production and create 320 jobs.

Speaking Saturday in Highland Heights, Kentucky, Trump promoted Republican candidates including U.S. House contender Ed Gallrein. He praised Gallrein’s appearance and also made remarks about the physical appearance of Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio and Rick Jackson, the Republican nominee for Georgia governor.

Trump described his second term as more powerful than his first and repeated a promise that every American adult would receive $5,000 if Republicans retained the House and Senate. Such payments would require congressional approval. He also said that, following a Republican victory, the Defense Department would invest in revitalizing a drug-manufacturing facility in Kentucky.

The rallies are part of a broader campaign tour that has taken Trump to traditionally Republican states including Nebraska, where some farmers have reported frustration over higher fuel, fertilizer and equipment costs. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority but face competitive races in several states, while recent polling cited by multiple outlets shows Democrats ahead in the national congressional vote.
