Trump to campaign in deep red Oklahoma, Alabama

President Trump will headline rallies in two red states next week as Republicans struggle in swing states across the country just over a month out from November’s midterms. Trump will head to Durant, Okla., for a rally on Thursday before heading to Mobile, Ala., for a campaign event on Friday evening. The president won Oklahoma and Alabama by 34 points and 30 points, respectively, in 2024. Both states’ gubernatorial and Senate races are considered solidly Republican. Durant is located in the Sooner State’s 2nd Congressional District while Mobile falls in Alabama’s 1st Congressional District. Both districts are considered safe for the GOP. Trump’s move to travel to the red states comes as a number of toss-up races move into the Democratic column ahead of the midterms. Earlier this week, the nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report shifted the Kansas and South Carolina Senate races toward Democrats. Kansas shifted from “likely Republican” to “lean Republican” for incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall’s (R-Kan.) race, while South Carolina’s race — which includes GOP Sen. Darline Graham — moved from “solid Republican” to “likely Republican.” Earlier this month, Trump vowed to visit 35 key midterm election locations in the 30 days before the midterms. The president even said he would travel as far as Alaska to campaign for incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R) in the state’s crucial Senate race . Despite a plethora of polls showing Trump’s approval rating hitting record lows , Republicans have maintained the president is the GOP’s best turnout mechanism as the party tries to maximize its base turnout in November.
