TRUMP CHARGES INTO IOWA AND KANSAS AS EARLY VOTING SURGES ACROSS KEY SENATE STATES
President Trump is back on the trail today with back-to-back rallies in Dubuque, Iowa and Salina, Kansas, two days before Election Day. He is campaigning for Republican Senate nominee Ashley Hinson in Iowa and Senator Roger Marshall in Kansas, fighting to hold the Senate and keep the House. The rallies were briefly pulled and then put right back on the schedule. Trump is doing what he always does: showing up in person and going to work.
New figures show early voting is running well ahead of the 2022 midterms nationwide, with double-digit increases in seven critical Senate states. South Carolina leads the surge at 83 percent higher than the same point last cycle. Texas is up 50 percent. Maine is up 44 percent. Strong gains are also coming in North Carolina, Kansas, Michigan, and Iowa. The numbers are clear. Voters are motivated and moving early
This is not a quiet midterm. More than 50 million ballots have already been cast across the country, roughly 10 million more than at this stage four years ago. The jumps are hitting the states that will decide control of the Senate. Republicans are defending ground in places Trump won handily in 2024, and the early vote shows people are engaged. Democrats are pouring money into these races trying to flip seats, but the turnout data is running hot.
Trump’s stops in Dubuque and Salina put him in the middle of the fight. Iowa’s open Senate seat and competitive House races need energy. Kansas has not elected a Democratic senator since 1932, yet the race for Marshall’s seat has tightened. Trump is answering the call from local Republicans who told him an in-person rally beats a phone call. The crowds will be loud. The message is simple. Show up, vote, and finish the job.
Election Day is Tuesday. Early voting numbers like these do not happen by accident. People are paying attention and they are casting ballots. Trump is on the ground today making sure Republicans get over the line. The final stretch is here.
