Washington, DC — President Donald Trump says he will spend the final 32 days before the November midterms campaigning across the country as Republicans fight to retain control of both chambers of Congress.
Trump said Tuesday that candidates across multiple states are asking him to appear with them and named Texas and Ohio among his upcoming stops. His campaign push arrives later than some advisers initially expected, after the White House spent much of the summer focused on foreign policy and the continuing conflict with Iran.
The political environment has become increasingly difficult for Republicans. Democrats are competitive in a growing number of House districts, while several Senate races that once appeared safer for the GOP have tightened. High gasoline prices, inflation and public dissatisfaction with the Iran war are among the issues shaping the campaign.
Trump remains a powerful turnout driver among Republican voters, but his involvement presents different calculations depending on the district. Some GOP candidates are embracing him directly, while others have emphasized local issues or distanced themselves from parts of his agenda.
The stakes extend beyond individual races. Control of Congress will determine which party sets the legislative agenda during Trump’s final two years in office and whether Democrats gain committee and investigative powers if they capture either chamber.
