Story summary

President Donald Trump held a rally in Mobile, Alabama, on Friday at 7 p.m., as part of his ongoing tour supporting Republican candidates ahead of the midterms. Accompanying him were Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is running for governor, and GOP state Rep. Rhett Marques, seeking to win the newly redrawn 2nd Congressional District. Trump's visit to Alabama marked his third stop in a week, after Texas and Oklahoma. He emphasized his economic achievements, mentioning investments by companies like Mercedes-Benz and US Steel in Alabama. Despite his strong historical support from the state—where he won three times with significant margins—polls show 31% national approval rating for Trump amid economic discontent.
