Trump Vows to Campaign in 35 Midterm Races
Trump Vows to Campaign in 35 Midterm Races
The News
President Donald Trump says he will personally campaign in about 35 competitive House and Senate races in the final stretch before November's midterm elections.
Trump laid out the plan Wednesday, saying he would devote the closing month of the campaign to travel aimed at protecting and expanding Republican majorities in both chambers.
"I'm going to take the final 30 days, maybe a little bit more than that, because it's all about 35 races," Trump said, according to the New York Post. "I'm going to go to every one of those 35 places."
Timeline
Reuters reports Trump saying he will make "a lot of stops" ahead of the midterm elections.
Trump details the plan further, vowing to campaign across roughly 35 competitive House and Senate races in the final 30 days, per The Washington Times and Newsmax.
The New York Post publishes Trump's "final 30 days" strategy in his own words; NBC News reports the targeted contests include the Senate races in Alaska and Texas.
Voters decide control of the House and Senate.
Reactions
Trump framed the tour as a repeat of the schedule he kept during his 2024 presidential run, according to The Washington Times, which reported he vowed to replicate that pace to defend and grow GOP majorities.
Newsmax reported Trump promised to campaign aggressively and said he has planned extensive travel to states with high-stakes races.
Just the News noted the basic math working against him: the midterms are expected to be competitive, and the party holding the White House typically loses seats.
What's Next
Trump has not released a schedule of the 35 stops. NBC News reported the effort will include the Senate contests in Alaska and Texas, two of the races Republicans are watching most closely.
Expect the itinerary to firm up as the 30-day window opens ahead of the November vote, and expect candidates in tight districts to decide whether they want the president on stage with them.
More
Wire coverage of the announcement spans seven outlets across the spectrum, from Reuters and NBC News to the New York Post, The Washington Times, Newsmax and Just the News — a sign of how central Trump's personal campaigning has become to both parties' midterm calculations.
