President Donald Trump has ended a month-long travel push with rallies in Iowa and Kansas, as Republicans try to retain control of Congress in the US midterm elections on 3 November.
The White House says Trump attended 30 events in 20 states between 1 October and 1 November. It described the schedule as historic, but its announcement did not provide a comparison with previous presidents.
In Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday, Trump urged voters to support Republican candidates, including Representative Ashley Hinson, who is running for an open Senate seat against Democrat Josh Turek. Iowa Capital Dispatch reported that several races in the state could be important in determining control of Congress.
Trump then travelled to Salina, Kansas, where he spoke in support of Republican Senator Roger Marshall, who faces Democrat Adam Hamilton. The two rallies had initially been cancelled before Trump announced that they would go ahead in person.
