Trump reverses course, reinstates cancelled campaign rallies
The decision marks a sharp reversal after the US president said he didn't feel like he had to hold the events.
A day after announcing he would cancel a pair of campaign rallies, United States President Donald Trump has reversed course, opting to put those events back on the calendar.
A source close to the Trump administration told Al Jazeera on Friday that Trump will be headlining, in person, the previously cancelled rallies in Kansas and Iowa ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections.
“Rallies are BACK ON!” the source said. “No one works harder, fights harder, or loves the American people more than President Donald J. Trump!”
But according to early polling data, voters in both states have trended more towards Democratic Senate candidates this campaign cycle.
