Trump cancels rallies in states where GOP faces tough challenges

With just four days left before Tuesday's midterms, President Trump is trying a new approach to woo voters, canceling two live rallies set to be held this weekend in what would normally be safely red states. Instead of firing up voters in Iowa and Kansas in Iowa and Kansas, Trump is opting to hold Hold rallies in support of Republican candidates in those two states. The GOP says the televised events will have a wider impact and are part of a 72-hour sprint of phone rallies planned in nearly 20 states. In a statement, the Republican National Committee said its Senate candidates in Kansas and Iowa are doing well enough that they don't need Trump to make sure they have enough support. Polls, however, suggest Democratic candidates are in striking distance of taking the Senate seats in both states and GOP control of Congress is increasingly at risk Trump is still scheduled to appear at an in-person rally today in Daytona Beach, Florida, where the incumbent Republican senator has a solid lead in the polls.
