WASHINGTON — President Trump will hold a pair of pre-midterm campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa this coming weekend after all, having initially canceled them as he fights to keep Republican control of Congress.
“Rallies are BACK ON! President Trump loves his supporters, and in addition to nearly 20 tele-rallies, he will hold back-to-back rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday,” a source familiar with the planning told The Post Friday.
“The rallies were rearranged for scheduling purposes to accommodate dozens of additional tele-rallies that were recently added to the President’s schedule.”
Word that the rallies had been canceled triggered fevered speculation about the fate of Republican Senate candidates in the two midwestern states, with polls showing Democratic candidates running strong races against Sen. Roger Marsall (R-Kan.) and Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa).
Trump is still scheduled to hold 19 tele-rallies on Saturday, with the in-person rallies to be held Sunday.
The president has followed a punishing schedule of events ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms, holding a rally almost every day in October.
