“They said 'we just want to make sure that we win,'”
Reported November 2, 2026 by iheart.com. Checked word for word against that report.
At an Oct. 30 Florida rally, President Donald Trump told the crowd that the Republican National Committee had first called off planned Kansas and Iowa events, then proceeded after Republicans in those states pressed him to continue so the party could prevail, the article reports. The remarks came as Trump finished a midterm campaign swing with Nov. 1 events in Iowa and Kansas before Tuesday’s election. In Kansas, he said Democratic control of Congress would damage the country; in Iowa, he urged support for Republican candidates. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority and a 218-214 House majority. The article says political experts expect Democrats to likely take the House, while the Senate hinges on a few races, including Kansas and Iowa.
