Donald Trump is preparing for a final push in the midterm elections by holding back-to-back rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday. This marks a shift from his initial decision to scale back in-person appearances, replacing them with tele-rallies. On Friday, Trump indicated he felt optimistic about the events in Iowa and Kansas, predicting good results and even surprising outcomes.
Both states are known to lean Republican, with Trump winning both in the 2024 presidential election. Nevertheless, Republicans are striving to retain key Senate seats in these states, where Democrat Adam Hamilton is contesting against Republican Senator Roger Marshall. A Hamilton victory would mark the first time a Democrat wins a Senate seat from Kansas in 94 years.
Trump enters the midterms with historically low approval ratings, facing voter dissatisfaction over economic issues, fuel and food prices, and the ongoing war in Iran. As of now, over 53 million people have already voted, either in person or by mail. The midterms feature all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats up for grabs, with Republicans holding narrow majorities in both chambers.
Polls suggest Democrats are leading in several crucial races. If Democrats secure control of Congress, they could impede Trump's legislative plans during his remaining two years in office. Some Republicans are also apprehensive about Democrats pursuing impeachment proceedings against Trump again. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker expressed concern about potential corruption during a recent NBC interview, stating that hearings could uncover more information and lead to decisions about impeachment.
