Trump announces 32-day campaign tour ahead of November midterm elections

US President Donald Trump announced plans for a 32-day multi-state campaign tour ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections, including stops in Texas and Ohio. Trump projected confidence that Republican candidates want his support, despite polls showing Democrats positioned for gains and some Republicans distancing themselves from the president. The midterms will determine control of both chambers of Congress.
