Story summary

As of October 4, 2026, President Donald Trump commenced a 32-day midterm election campaign tour focusing on reliably red states like Texas and Oklahoma to boost Republican candidates. Despite low approval ratings and voter discontent over issues such as high costs and the ongoing war with Iran, Trump believes his presence will energize his base. On October 1, he visited Denton, Texas, where he toured a truck factory, then traveled to Durant, Oklahoma, for a rally aimed at boosting Senate candidate Ken Paxton and other Republicans facing tough races. Some Republican candidates worry that associating with Trump could hurt their chances in competitive districts, while others see the rallies as vital support.
