Story summary

On October 19, 2026, President Donald Trump held a rally in Kansas to campaign for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who is facing a tight race against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. At the event, Trump used violent protests in France as an example to warn Kansans that similar unrest could occur if Democrats win control of Congress. He claimed France was being overrun by migrants and predicted Paris would "burn" like it had recently due to economic grievances, urging Americans not to allow such chaos. Despite these warnings, polls showed Republicans struggling in traditionally conservative states over issues like the Iran war and rising costs.
