Trump reverses decision to cancel rallies in Kansas and Iowa
President Trump's planned rallies in Kansas and Iowa are back on. Meanwhile, political campaigns are increasingly turning to AI. CBS News' Kathryn Watson has more, and Taurean Small reports on Alaska's Senate race. Plus, VoteHub data scientist Zachary Donnini looks at election data.
President Donald Trump has rescheduled weekend campaign rallies in Iowa and Kansas, which he initially canceled ahead of the midterms, according to a source familiar with the plans. The Republican president will make back-to-back appearances in the two critical Midwestern states on Sunday, the source revealed under anonymity to discuss the details.
The shift in scheduling highlights the unpredictable and rapidly changing landscape of the final days of the midterm campaigns, where Trump and Republicans are racing to maintain their majorities in Congress. The election has become largely focused on affordability issues and the president's favorability ratings. Initially, Trump had pledged a series of rallies to bolster Republican candidates, having already headlined 25 events in October.
The Republican National Committee had announced the cancellation of the rallies, suggesting Trump would instead conduct telerallies to reach a broader audience. However, the source indicated that the Iowa and Kansas events have been rearranged to align with the new telerallies.
