Midterm election campaign swings back and forth in battleground states on final weekend - US President Trump

[Washington Current Affairs] US President Trump announced to reporters at the White House on the 30th that he would give speeches in the midwestern states of Iowa and Kansas during the last weekend before the midterm elections on November 3rd. At one point, the election rallies scheduled in both states were replaced by ``telephone rallies'' encouraging people to vote by phone, but they changed their policy once again and will now be in the field.

Regarding the reason for the change in his campaign schedule, Trump said, ``I wanted to see if I could handle it with a teleconference, because it's been very successful.'' However, he explained that he decided to visit both states on November 1st because of a request from local officials.

Both states are strongholds for the Republican Party, but the same party's candidates face close races in both Senate races. With Trump's approval ratings declining, some speculated that he canceled the rally to avoid influencing the election situation.
