President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance are campaigning across traditionally Republican territory as the party seeks to preserve its narrow congressional majorities in the November 3 midterm elections.
Trump began a seven-state rally swing in Kansas on October 19, supporting Republican Sen. Roger Marshall in a race analysts have rated a toss-up despite Trump carrying the state by 16 percentage points in 2024. His itinerary also included the Carolinas, Iowa, Florida, Georgia and Michigan. On October 24, Trump rallied in Perry, Georgia, before a planned appearance in Port Huron, Michigan. He was also scheduled to campaign in Mississippi for Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Vance has separately appeared for Republican candidates in states including Iowa, Florida, Texas, Alaska, Georgia, Michigan and Ohio. He was also campaigning in North Carolina and Nebraska, where Republican-held Senate seats face competitive challenges.
Former President Barack Obama joined the Democratic campaign effort, appearing in Cleveland with Senate candidate Sherrod Brown and gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. He was also scheduled to campaign in Detroit with Michigan candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson.
Recent national surveys have favored Democrats. A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll put Trump’s approval at 33% and gave Democrats an eight-point advantage among likely congressional voters, while an NBC News poll found 34% approval and a 10-point Democratic advantage among registered voters. More than 20 million early ballots had been cast by October 23, according to a compilation cited by The Rio Times.
