Trump heads to Iowa, Kansas with Senate control in balance
Democrats and many Republicans have framed the election as a referendum on Trump's policies.
President Donald Trump is set to campaign in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday (Nov 1) as Republicans battle to maintain their Senate majority in Tuesday's midterm elections. Trump, who won Iowa by double digits in 2024, faces a potential challenge in Kansas, where the state has not elected a Democratic senator since 1932. Recent polls show Democrats tied or leading in many races, with Trump's approval among rural Americans at a new low of 45 percent.
Senate control rests on 35 seats and all 435 House seats, with Republicans holding narrow majorities in both chambers. Democrats aim to block Trump's legislative agenda and launch investigations if they gain control. The White House is preparing to implement portions of Trump's agenda without Congress.
