Story summary

On November 2, 2026, President Donald Trump held his last-minute campaign rallies in Iowa and Kansas, reversing an earlier decision to cancel them. This final push came as polls indicated a potential "blue wave" with Democratic candidates leading in several key Senate races. The rallies were part of Trump's effort to maintain Republican control over Congress ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, where voter frustration over rising prices was evident. Despite his previous dominance in these states, Trump's visits highlighted how competitive Florida, Iowa, and Kansas have become for this election cycle.
