Story summary

On October 30, 2026, President Donald Trump reversed his decision to cancel campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa, opting instead to hold in-person events following criticism from a reporter. Initially planning telerallies after facing questions about low turnout at previous events, Trump changed course after backlash from Republican officials concerned about the impact on midterm elections. The rallies are scheduled for Sunday, just five days before the election, amid close races in both states. This U-turn follows a pattern of Trump holding nearly 20 tele-rallies leading up to the midterms.

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.
