## Key points

- Trump cancelled in-person rallies in Kansas and Iowa.
- Both appearances are being replaced by virtual events.
- Republicans are facing competitive races ahead of the midterms.

## Summary

Donald Trump cancelled planned weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa just days before the 3 November midterm elections, switching to virtual appearances from Mar-a-Lago. The change matters because Republicans face close Senate contests and a difficult fight to retain control of the House, prompting Trump to campaign across several states.

The Kansas event was intended to support Senator Roger Marshall, whose re-election race is described as tight; an Iowa rally in Dubuque was also moved online. The White House said Trump would hold at least 20 tele-rallies before election day, arguing they would help him reach more voters. Trump said he did not need to travel to Kansas because Marshall was doing well, although a CNN poll cited in the article put Marshall four points behind his challenger.
