Story summary

On October 30, 2026, President Donald Trump reversed his decision to cancel midterm election rallies in Kansas and Iowa, opting instead to hold them on the following Sunday. This about-face came after a reporter questioned him about the cancellations, leading to speculation over his health and the state of Republican candidates in these crucial swing states. Early voting had already surpassed previous midterms, with sharp increases noted especially in competitive Senate races like those in Kansas and Iowa. Trump's decision to hold the rallies was seen as an effort to boost Republican morale and voter turnout ahead of the November 3 election.

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.
