Trump to stop in Alaska, other Senate battlegrounds ahead of midterms
White House chief of staff Susie Wiles briefed senators on the president’s campaign travel on Monday evening.
President Donald Trump is set to embark on a campaign tour to support Republican Senate candidates in key battleground states ahead of the midterms, according to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The itinerary includes a visit to Alaska to bolster the chances of GOP Senator Dan Sullivan, although he is not scheduled to travel to Maine, where incumbent Senator Susan Collins holds a crucial position for the party.
However, the final details of Trump's schedule remain fluid, with the White House focusing on deploying the president strategically where his presence could make the most impact, as stated by Olivia Wales, a White House spokesperson. Wiles convened with several Republican senators, including Eric Schmitt, Tim Sheehy, Rick Scott, Tim Scott, Shelley Moore Capito, Steve Daines, and Bernie Moreno, to discuss messaging and the White House's role in aiding the midterm elections.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune also held talks with White House officials, affirming that the deployment of the president will be determined based on what the White House deems most effective in securing Republican majorities in Congress.
