POTUS to Wichita: Trump flying in next week to rally for Roger Marshall
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump will hold a "Kansas Style Rally" in Wichita on Monday, Oct. 19, to support Senator Roger Marshall, with the event starting at 4:30 p.m. and Trump speaking at 6 p.m.
- The rally is part of Trump's campaign blitz across 10 states ahead of the November midterm elections, aiming to boost Republican candidates despite his own approval rating being between 30% and 34%.
- Trump praised Marshall as "a truly great American patriot" in his announcement and pledged $5,000 to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress.
- The Kansas U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Marshall and Democrat Adam Hamilton is currently a toss-up, with Kansas not having elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.
