US President Donald Trump has embarked on a 32-day campaign blitz aimed at helping Republicans defend their narrow congressional majorities ahead of next month's midterm elections, according to the Guardian.
The report described an episode in which bad weather grounded Air Force One in Texas, leading Trump to travel roughly 85 miles by motorcade at high speed to reach a campaign event in Oklahoma, illustrating what the report characterized as his continued commitment to holding rallies.
Rallies have long been a central feature of Trump's political brand, the report noted, though it said some Republicans are concerned that voters may have grown weary of frequent exposure to the president on the campaign trail.
The report did not specify which Republican officials hold this view or provide polling data to quantify the extent of any voter fatigue, framing the concern as one shared by "some" within the party rather than a consensus position.
The outcome of the midterm elections, and whether the rally-heavy strategy helps or hurts Republican candidates, remains to be seen as the campaign continues over the coming weeks.
