Trump reinstates midterm campaign rallies while facing analyst warnings of losses

President Donald Trump insisted on Friday that Republicans have a shot at success in the upcoming United States midterm elections, according to the South China Morning Post. The South China Morning Post reported that Trump reinstated two campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa a day after cancelling them, a decision that had prompted questions regarding his health. Early voting for the midterms has set record levels. [2]

Political analysts and pollsters believe that Congress will likely swing away from the party occupying the White House, the Washington Examiner reported. The Washington Examiner noted that the outcome could lead to political distance between Trump and the Republican organization after the midterms. [1]

All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate are scheduled for contested elections on November 3, 2026. As FTMQ News reported earlier, a Reuters Ipsos poll previously showed Donald Trump holding a 32 percent approval rating, with registered voters preferring Democrats over Republicans by 47 percent to 36 percent.

Trump recently promoted his tariff and immigration policies during a campaign rally in Georgia, as FTMQ News reported earlier. The elections on November 3 will determine control of the 120th United States Congress, alongside thirty-nine state and territorial gubernatorial contests. [8][10]
