Trump cancels then reinstates Kansas and Iowa rally appearances
President Trump cancelled then reversed course on weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa before Tuesday's midterm elections.
President Trump initially cancelled in-person rallies scheduled for Kansas on Saturday and Iowa on Sunday, announcing instead that he would hold virtual 'tele-rallies' across nearly 20 states. Trump told reporters on Thursday he did not 'feel like I have to go to Kansas', adding that Republican Senator Roger Marshall was 'doing very well'. When a reporter asked if the cancellations related to his health, Trump lashed out, calling the journalist 'disgusting' and 'way out of shape'. On Friday, Trump reversed the decision, and sources confirmed the in-person rallies in both states would proceed, rearranged to Sunday to accommodate the virtual events. The reversals come as Republicans face competitive midterm races in both traditionally Republican states, with Democratic challengers polling closely against Republican incumbents.
