President Donald Trump reinstated campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Friday, reversing cancellations announced a day earlier as Republicans make their final push before the November 3 midterm elections, according to the South China Morning Post.
The Republican National Committee had said the in-person events would not proceed because the party was “in a strong position” in both states. It announced that Trump would instead hold virtual “telerallies” in a series of states; CBS News reported that 19 states were included. The cancellations prompted questions about Trump’s health and travel schedule, which he rejected while speaking to a reporter after returning from a campaign stop in South Carolina.
Trump, 80, has maintained a near-daily rally schedule through much of October, urging Republican voters to behave as though he were on the ballot. He was also scheduled to campaign Friday in Daytona Beach, Florida, where several statewide and congressional races are underway.
The Kansas rally is intended to support Republican Senator Roger Marshall in a race analysts have rated highly competitive despite Trump carrying the state by 16 percentage points in 2024. Republicans are seeking to preserve narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress amid national polling that has generally favored Democrats. Trump said Friday that Republicans “have a shot” in the elections.
