Story summary

President Donald Trump canceled his planned weekend appearances in Kansas and Iowa, originally scheduled for election campaigning just days before the midterm vote. Instead, he will participate in a series of virtual rallies, or "tele-rallies," to support Republican candidates across nearly 20 states. This decision follows his recent high-intensity campaign schedule featuring 25 rallies since early October. The cancellations come amid predictions by political forecasters that Democrats have an advantage in this midterm election cycle due to issues like cost-of-living concerns and voter backlash over foreign policy.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
