Trump cancels midterm rallies in Kansas and Iowa. Here's why.
President Trump will no longer campaign in person for Republican candidates in Kansas and Iowa on the last weekend before the midterm elections. CBS News' Weijia Jiang reports.
President Donald Trump has rescheduled two weekend campaign rallies in Iowa and Kansas, after initially canceling them before the midterms, according to a source familiar with the plans. The Republican president will now address supporters in the two critical Midwestern states on Sunday, the source said, declining to disclose his exact location within each state.
The sudden shift highlights the turbulent and rapidly changing nature of the final days of the midterm campaigns, where Trump and Republicans are desperately striving to keep their majorities in Congress. In the early part of the month, Trump pledged an intense schedule of rallies to bolster Republican candidates, and he has already made 25 appearances in October.
The Republican National Committee had initially announced that Trump would hold telerallies instead of physical rallies to reach a broader audience. However, the source familiar with the revised plans revealed that the Iowa and Kansas events have been rescheduled to align with the new telerallies.
