Trump to hold rallies in Iowa and Kansas two days before US midterms

Donald Trump will appear at campaign rallies in the battleground states of Iowa and Kansas on Friday, just two days before the United States midterm elections.

The former president had previously cancelled the in‑person events in favour of tele‑rallies, but reversed that decision on Friday.

His visits are aimed at supporting Republican candidates in competitive Senate races in the two states.

In a separate development, a US judge dismissed Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal with prejudice on Saturday, ending his legal challenge over the newspaper’s reporting on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El‑Sayed in Michigan has asked fellow Democrat Haley Stevens to stay away from his campaign events after a planned joint appearance at a Detroit church service fell through.
