Trump blitzes western states with midterm rallies in Alaska, Arizona and Montana
With 20 days until the November 3 midterms, Trump is on a multi-state rally sprint, stumping for Republican candidates in Alaska, Arizona and Montana, with Georgia and Kentucky expected later this week.
Why it matters
With 20 days until the November 3 midterm elections, the 80-year-old president has launched a packed rally schedule across several states to energize Republican voters. The blitz is seen as the GOP's key base-turnout push in the final three weeks — even as Republicans pull back national spending in some House battlegrounds and shift to defense.
The week's itinerary
On Tuesday (October 13), Trump flew to Wasilla, Alaska, to rally for Senator Dan Sullivan's re-election bid; onstage he pardoned two Anchorage vehicle-repair-shop owners who had pleaded guilty to Clean Air Act violations involving diesel emissions devices, and urged voters to back a ballot measure to repeal ranked-choice voting. On Wednesday (October 14), he headed to Bullhead City, Arizona, to campaign for Representative Andy Biggs's run for governor, then moved on to Montana's 1st District to stump for congressional candidate Aaron Flint. Reports say Georgia and Kentucky are expected later in the week.
Campaign backdrop
In recent days Trump has already held events in Nebraska, Texas, New York, Tennessee and Ohio. His pitch at the rallies, per CNN, is to "pretend I'm on the ballot," urging supporters to treat the midterms as his own race. Meanwhile, Politico and The New York Times report that Republicans have halted national spending in key House races in New Jersey and Iowa, a sign the map is shrinking, while Democrats are racing to raise money to widen the battlefield.
