President Trump Plans To Step Up Midterm Travel, Outpace Obama

President Donald Trump will spend at least 40 days on the campaign trail ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm elections, aiming to dedicate more time to candidates than President Barack Obama did in 2010, White House officials said Tuesday.

Trump will attend at least eight rallies by the end of September and 16 fundraisers, hitting as many as 15 states.

The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the president is considering travel to North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Kentucky and Tennessee in coming weeks.

Trump is set to speak in West Virginia on Tuesday and in Ohio on Friday, marking his third and fourth political rallies this month. He has also recently traveled to Pennsylvania, Florida and Montana.
