Two days on the campaign trail, Trump faces fading enthusiasm

DONALD Trump is crisscrossing America to drum up votes for Republican candidates facing tough midterm election races, but the United States president’s rallies are often hijacked by his basking in the adulation of fervent supporters.

Two days on the campaign trail, Trump faces fading enthusiasm

Donald Trump has been traveling across America to rally support for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections, but his enthusiasm is waning. The president's rallies are often filled with adoring supporters, who are willing to overlook his policies that many find problematic. Recent polls show his approval rating at just 36%, a record low, primarily due to rising living costs.

During his recent West coast tour, Trump visited Alaska, Arizona, and Montana. Despite his efforts to boost his party's chances, he seemed reluctant to involve local candidates, prompting applause when he announced controversial plans like a $5,000 payment for every American if Republicans maintain control of Congress. The president's tour appears to be more of a nostalgic farewell than a robust electoral campaign.
