Trump Shifts Midterm Focus to Deep-Red States Amid Policy Backlash
President Trump is expanding his October campaign schedule to include deep-red states like Iowa, Florida, Texas, and Alaska, alongside previously announced stops in Oklahoma and Alabama. This shift aims to shore up Republican majorities as voter dissatisfaction grows over high costs, the Iran war, and mass deportations. While the White House frames this as base energizing, internal GOP polling shows competitive races in traditionally safe areas, prompting a strategic pivot to protect core territories before the November midterms.
