Story summary

On October 30, 2026, President Donald Trump reversed course and decided to hold rallies in Kansas and Iowa after initially canceling them due to criticism from a reporter who questioned the decision. This change came just days before the November 3 midterm elections as Republicans sought to maintain control of Congress. The rallies were later held on November 2, with Trump campaigning to boost his party's chances in key Senate races where polls showed Democratic candidates leading. Despite Trump's efforts, new polls suggested a potential "blue tsunami," indicating Republican candidates could lose all seven competitive Senate contests.
