Trump holds midterm rally in Arizona to support Republican candidates

President Donald Trump held a rally at Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport along the Arizona-Nevada border on October 14, 2026, as part of a Western campaign swing to boost Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. The event featured Rep. Andy Biggs, the GOP gubernatorial nominee in Arizona, who is seeking to unseat incumbent Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. Trump's stop in Arizona was part of a broader two-day tour that also included Montana.
