Trump Highlights Republican Momentum Ahead Of Midterm Elections
1 week ago
President Donald Trump says enthusiasm among Republican voters is growing following campaign rallies in Arizona and Montana on Wednesday, as he continues traveling across the country ahead of November's midterm elections.
Speaking to reporters after the rallies, Trump pointed to large crowds and strong attendance as signs of growing support for Republican candidates.
"The crowds were massive," Trump said, claiming one rally broke an attendance record at its venue and attracted thousands of additional supporters outside.
The president said he believes his campaign appearances are helping Republican candidates across the country, including Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska and Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio.
Trump also highlighted his recent campaign schedule, saying he has visited approximately eight states and believes enthusiasm is spreading beyond the places where he has personally appeared.
The president acknowledged the demanding nature of the rallies, noting that some supporters wait several days to attend and often encourage him to continue speaking even after lengthy appearances.
His latest stops included Bullhead City, Arizona, where he campaigned for Republican gubernatorial nominee Andy Biggs, and Kalispell, Montana, where he supported congressional candidate Aaron Flint.
Trump also addressed the ongoing conflict with Iran, predicting that it would end soon and lead to a significant decline in oil prices.
"The Iran war will end very soon," Trump said, adding that Iran would not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
The president predicted that oil prices would fall sharply once the conflict ends, although he did not provide a specific timeline for ending the fighting.
The November 3 midterm elections will determine control of Congress, with Republicans working to maintain their majorities in the House and Senate.
Trump has made campaigning for Republican candidates a major focus in the final weeks before Election Day, urging supporters to turn out and vote even though his own name is not on the ballot.
