US President Donald Trump said he plans to campaign for 32 days in the run-up to the midterm elections, according to Al Jazeera.
Trump brushed aside concerns about his standing with voters, as polling and public commentary have pointed to frustration among some segments of the electorate over the cost of living and the ongoing war involving Iran.
Midterm stakes
The midterm elections are widely seen as a referendum on the president's first years back in office, with control of Congress at stake. Trump's decision to commit more than a month of campaign travel signals an intention to play a direct, visible role in shaping the outcome.
Economic pressures, including the cost of living, have featured prominently in voter concerns, alongside foreign policy issues stemming from the conflict involving Iran. The report did not specify which states or races Trump intends to prioritize during his campaign swing.
Further details on the president's itinerary were not immediately available.
