Story summary

President Donald Trump held his final campaign rally on November 3, 2026, at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., to highlight his administration's costly and controversial renovation project there. Despite criticism that he was focusing too much on construction projects rather than addressing pressing issues like rising living costs, Trump continued to tout these renovations as part of his closing arguments before Election Day. Polls indicated a strong possibility that Democrats would win control of Congress, with Democrats having a 74% chance of taking the Senate and a 94% chance of capturing the House according to prediction platform Kalshi. The rally came after Trump had held 28 campaign stops across over 20 states in his last-ditch effort to secure Republican support for 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.
