\"Trump<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has put campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa back on the schedule for Sunday \u2014 two days before the midterm elections \u2014 after abruptly canceling both appearances, a Republican source told AFP Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rallies are back on. President Trump loves his supporters, and in addition to nearly 20 tele-rallies, he will hold back-to-back rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday,\u201d a party source familiar with Trump\u2019s weekend planning said.<\/p>\n

Trump had originally been scheduled to campaign in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday and Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday, but both appearances were scrapped on Thursday, with Republicans saying he would instead concentrate on telephone rallies.<\/p>\n

The sudden changes raised questions about the 80-year-old president\u2019s health and stamina, prompting an angry response when a reporter asked whether he was feeling well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel perfect,\u201d Trump snapped, saying he no longer needed to visit Kansas because Republican Senator Roger Marshall was \u201cdoing very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall faces an unexpectedly competitive challenge from Democrat Adam Hamilton in Kansas, which has not elected a Democratic senator since 1932.\u00a0In Iowa, Republican congresswoman Ashley Hinson is fighting a close race against Democrat Josh Turek.<\/p>\n

Both states voted comfortably for Trump in 2024, but have emerged as battlegrounds in the fight for control of the Senate.<\/p>\n

Republicans are defending their 53-47 majority in the Senate in Tuesday\u2019s elections, while Democrats are seeking to capture at least one chamber of Congress and curb Trump\u2019s legislative agenda during his final two years in office.<\/p>\n

Political strategist Mike Fahey, a veteran of multiple election campaigns, told AFP Trump\u2019s about-face was likely the result of the questions over his energy levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy suspicion is that Trump didn\u2019t particularly like that narrative, and putting the events back on the calendar was the fastest way to kill it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also a legitimate campaign strategy argument here\u2026\u00a0A phone call doesn\u2019t generate the same local headlines, television coverage or excitement as Air Force One landing in your state three days before an election.\u201d<\/p>\n
