Trump launches midterm campaign as Republicans face tough races

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump embarked on a 32-day campaign blitz to support Republican candidates ahead of the November midterm elections. The president began his journey in Texas, rallying supporters in Denton at the Peterbilt Motors Company. Trump intended to build momentum before moving on to more competitive races.

Although Trump targeted safe Republican territories first, this caused concern among party officials about the possibility of Republican candidates losing seats. Some candidates, dissatisfied with Trump's handling of the war in Iran and the rise of data centers that consume large amounts of electricity, have expressed a willingness to distance themselves from him.

After visiting Texas and Oklahoma, Trump planned to address the crowd in Alabama on Friday, demonstrating his respect for states that supported his presidential campaigns. In Oklahoma, Trump highlighted the nation's economic growth during his lengthy address, vowing to dedicate himself to the Republican midterm efforts. By the end of the week, Trump would continue his campaign in Ohio and Nebraska, facing more competitive races in each state.
