PNN – One day after canceling his campaign rallies in the states of Kansas and Iowa, the U.S. President decided to resume these events, scheduling in-person rallies in both states for Sunday.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network citing The Washington Post, U.S. President Donald Trump has reversed his decision to cancel campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa; he is now set to hold in-person campaign events in both states on Sunday, November 2.
On Thursday, the Republican National Committee had announced that Trump’s in-person rallies in these two states were canceled, stating that he would instead participate in tele-rallies to support Republican candidates across various states.
However, on Friday, informed sources reported another change to the U.S. President’s schedule. According to these reports, rallies in Kansas and Iowa have been added back to Trump’s itinerary, and he is now scheduled to deliver back-to-back speeches in these two states on Sunday.
Trump had previously stated that he saw no need to travel to Kansas, arguing that the state’s Republican senator, Roger Marshall, was in a strong position in the election race. The Republican National Committee had also announced that the cancellation of in-person events was intended to facilitate approximately 20 tele-rallies, allowing for outreach to a larger number of voters. With the reinstatement of in-person events, Trump is now set to hold speeches in Kansas and Iowa in addition to these tele-rallies.
This change in plans has occurred during the final stretch of the U.S. congressional midterm elections, scheduled for November 3, 2026. In these elections, Republicans are vying to maintain their majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Senate race in Kansas—pitting Republican incumbent Roger Marshall against Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton—has been identified as one of the key contests to watch.
Rising fuel prices and soaring inflation, stemming from the war against Iran, have become the “Achilles’ heel” for the ruling party in the U.S. congressional midterm elections.
