President Donald Trump has a full schedule stumping for vulnerable Republican candidates in battleground races, as the 2026 midterm elections draw nearer.
Trump said at the start of September that in the final weeks before the Nov. 3 elections, he would storm the country with rallies boosting vulnerable Republican candidates. The president said during remarks in the Rose Garden that he would target 35 races nationwide in roughly 30 days, and teased a series of “telehalls,” saying he could do up to 10 in one night.
“I’m going to go to every one of those 35 places, and we’re going to see if we can get everyone elected. You know, I think it’s work. Then we’re going to do the tele-town halls. They’re fantastic,” Trump said. “We’re going to really work hard. So we’re going to take that little, that final 30 days. We don’t want to go too much before that because people forget.”
Here’s where the president is set to rally voters next week.
Monday
At the start of the week, the president will headline an event in Wichita, Kansas. Trump will seek to boost Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), whom polling appears to show is in a surprisingly tight reelection race in the red state against Democrat Adam Hamilton.
Tuesday
On Oct. 20, Trump will rally in Greenville, North Carolina. His appearance in the state comes as Republican Michael Whatley, who is running to succeed retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), trails Democrat rival Roy Cooper in most polls. One of the House races in the state has also attracted attention. In North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, Republican Laurie Buckhout is seeking to oust Rep. Don Davis (D-NC).
Wednesday
Trump is making an appearance in Clemson, South Carolina, to boost candidates such as Senate nominee Darline Graham, who is running to replace her late brother, Lindsey Graham, in the upper chamber.
Thursday
On Oct. 22, the president is expected to headline a rally in Sioux City, Iowa.
In that state, Republican Senate nominee Ashley Hinson and Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek are battling to succeed outgoing Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) in a razor-thin race.
Friday
Trump is kicking off the weekend in Fort Myers, Florida.
His move comes as several Republicans are looking to flip House districts in the state. Scott Singer is challenging Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) in south Florida’s redrawn 25th Congressional District. Republican Mike Beltran is challenging Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) in the 14th Congressional District, near Tampa.
Saturday
Trump’s appearance on Oct. 24 in Macon, Georgia, comes as Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson holds a tight lead over Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms.
