President Donald Trump will hit eight states with 11 campaign rallies in the final six days of the midterm election cycle with the House and Senate — and most of his domestic agenda — up for grabs.
Trump was in Washington on Monday and will remain there until Wednesday, when he will begin his final push to convince voters to keep both chambers in Republican hands. His tour will mostly focus on Midwestern and Mid-Southern battlegrounds.
A person familiar with the president’s plans said he will begin an “ambitious” barnstorming effort Wednesday night in Fort Myers, Florida, where Gov. Rick Scott is trying to oust incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, and former GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis is trying to defeat Tallahassee Democratic Mayor Andrew Gillum in that state’s gubernatorial fight. On Monday morning, Trump called Gillum a “thief” in a tweet, a sign he’s taking the gloves back off after a deadly shooting Saturday at a Pittsburgh synagogue led him to admittedly tone down his tough talk about Democrats at a rally that night.
On Thursday, he will jet to Columbia, Missouri, to stump for Republican state Attorney General Josh Hawley, who has opened a lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
During the campaign’s final three days, the president will pick up the pace. He intends to hold multiple rallies per day, as he did during his 2016 presidential campaign.
