Trump rallies in Iowa, Kansas to maintain Republican control of US Senate
US President Trump returns to the campaign trail after taking a break at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Saturday.
US President Donald Trump is set to rally in Iowa and Kansas, two Republican-leaning states he previously won, in a bid to maintain Republican control of the United States Senate.
His first stop is Sunday afternoon in Dubuque, Iowa, where Republicans are battling to retain a critical Senate seat and the governorship. Trump won Iowa by double digits in 2024.
The 2nd Congressional District, which includes Dubuque, has also become competitive as the GOP works to protect its fragile majority in the US House of Representatives. The battle is on between Gen Z Republican candidate Joe Mitchell and Democrat Lindsay James.
Republicans abruptly cancelled the Iowa and Kansas stops late Thursday, only to reschedule them. A source close to the Trump administration told Al Jazeera on Friday that Trump will be headlining the previously cancelled rallies in person.
