Port Huron rally plans
President Trump is scheduled to visit Port Huron in Southeast Michigan on Sunday for a rally on behalf of Republican candidates ahead of the midterms, with the GOP saying the Midterm Rally will take place in St. Clair County and a location to be announced.
“Doors open at 11:30 a.m. with remarks starting at 3 p.m.”
City officials in Port Huron said the event will take place at McMorran Place Arena in downtown Port Huron, and they said, "Our team is hard at work preparing to welcome the President of the United States for the first presidential visit in Port Huron and St. Clair County history."
The event notice on the party's website said doors open at 11:30 a.m. with remarks starting at 3 p.m., and the party said attendees can request up to four tickets.
Trump has been on a campaign swing in recent weeks, with visits from Ohio to Alaska, and Vice President JD Vance has been on the campaign trail on Oct. 15.
Polls and rally strategy
A Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that when President Donald Trump is invoked, registered voters preferred the blue side by 19 points, 58%-39%, in the Post-ABC News poll. Trump’s midterm travels are in full swing and patterns have emerged, including that he is campaigning overwhelmingly in red states that voted for him by double digits in 2024.
Trump’s decision to use his limited time before the election to travel to dark-red states like Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky raised plenty of eyebrows. Vice President JD Vance has traveled to many of the same places as Trump and NPR calculates he’s been to less than one-third of them.
Kansas rally, Obama blitz
President Donald Trump is scheduled to appear in Kansas on Monday night near Wichita as early voting begins Monday in a number of states while current and former presidents hit the campaign trail.
“‘We do not win this race unless President Trump’s voters get out and vote,’ Marshall said.”
Republican Sen. Roger Marshall told reporters, "We do not win this race unless President Trump’s voters get out and vote," and he added, "There’s our group of people in Kansas — it may be 200,000 people — that only vote when President Trump is on the ticket."
Early voting begins Monday in six more states, including Texas, where the Senate race between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton is getting more expensive by the day.
Former President Barack Obama announced last week he will campaign in Michigan, Ohio and Georgia in the two weeks leading up to Election Day, and spending on the midterm election has surpassed $10 billion, growing closer to the record $11.2 billion spent on advertising in the 2024 cycle.
