Story summary

President Donald Trump reversed his decision to cancel campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa, opting instead to hold them this Sunday after initial cancellations. The change came following pressure from reporters who questioned the reasons behind the cancellations. A White House official confirmed that "rallies are back on," with Trump set to hold back-to-back events in both states, adding to nearly 20 tele-rallies he has already conducted. This decision follows significant early voting ahead of the midterm elections and amid concerns over ballot integrity raised by the Justice Department's subpoena of California election workers.

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.
