As early voting rates increase nationwide, President Donald Trump is adjusting his weekend schedule to campaign in two states with crucial Senate elections, highlighting his party's efforts to boost turnout before Election Day. The US president will hold two back-to-back rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday, according to a source close to his plans who requested anonymity.
Both rallies were initially cancelled. The sudden change occurs amidst a nationwide surge in early voting. Approximately 10 million more Americans had voted by the fifth day before the election compared to the same point in 2022, according to an Associated Press analysis of voting data. The surge has been especially notable in competitive Senate states, such as Iowa and Kansas, where early voting has risen by roughly 30%.
Both Democrats and Republicans hope the increase favors them as they vie for control of Congress in an election primarily driven by affordability concerns and the president's unpopularity.
