Symbolic imageTrump ends midterm campaign as Michigan Democrat backs Republican
Trump held his last rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday, two days before the midterms.
Trump told the crowd in Salina, Kansas, that it was his 30th rally, according to Le Monde, after an earlier event in Dubuque, Iowa. The Financial Times expects Republicans to lose the House and to fight to hold the Senate, where Democrats need a net gain of four seats; a New York Times/Siena poll found them ahead in many key races. Bloomberg reports Trump saying he may become "Mr. Veto" if Democrats win a majority.
