Trump makes final campaign push in Iowa and Kansas as both parties sprint to the finish line before midterms
Donald Trump, the US President, who analysts warn could become more dangerous if midterm losses trigger retribution at home and emboldened posturing abroad.
President Donald Trump, who has headlined nearly 700 rallies since his second term began, is pushing into Iowa and Kansas on Sunday despite the Republican National Committee having cancelled both visits just days ago, only for Trump to reverse the decision at the last minute. His approval among rural Americans has fallen to a new low of 45%, and polls show Democrats tied with or leading Republicans across multiple Iowa races. More than 52 million Americans have already cast ballots — a record for a midterm, up from nearly 46 million in 2022.
Iowa, which Trump won by double digits in 2024, now has three of four House races rated as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report.
Kansas, which last elected a Democratic senator in 1932, is also facing an unexpectedly close Senate race that has rattled the GOP.
As Trump campaigns, his administration says it will likely take a fight over California mail ballots to the Supreme Court before Tuesday.
