The president pledged to spend the final 30 days before the election campaigning in battleground states, recalling his aggressive travel schedule ahead of his own White House victory. He specifically mentioned Senate races in Alaska, where Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan faces Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola, and Texas, where Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton is running against Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.
Trump's endorsement comes amid Republicans' struggles to maintain control of both chambers of Congress. He acknowledged the challenges but expressed confidence in his party's ability to win if they focus on key issues such as economic investment and border security. The president also plans to be the keynote speaker at a midterm Republican convention in Texas next week, although some candidates have expressed reluctance about attending.
The midterms will serve as a test of Trump's popularity, with his approval rating sitting at 33%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Despite this, Trump remains a significant force within the Republican Party, wielding considerable influence over primary races and endorsements. His campaign efforts are expected to be crucial in determining the outcome of several closely contested elections.
