Story summary

President Donald Trump canceled his scheduled appearances at weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa, opting instead to participate virtually from Mar-a-Lago in Florida. This decision came days before the midterm elections, where Republican Senator Roger Marshall is facing a close race against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton. The cancellation was met with criticism, prompting Trump to lash out at a Reuters reporter who questioned the reason behind it; he called the reporter "disgusting" and said he "looked like hell." Trump's allies stated that he would phone into rallies nationwide following four weeks of extensive travel aimed at boosting Republican election chances. The Kansas rally was later rescheduled, but no information is available on whether Iowa’s event will proceed as initially planned.
