President Donald Trump has announced plans to campaign for Republican candidates in 35 races ahead of the November midterm elections. Speaking at a White House dinner with members of the GOP in Congress, Trump said he intends to spend the final 30 days of the campaign season—and possibly more—visiting each of these races. He highlighted specific contests, including Senator Dan Sullivan’s re-election bid in Alaska and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Senate race. Several of the Republicans in attendance are running in competitive districts, such as Representatives Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, Tom Barrett of Michigan, and Mike Collins of Georgia. Trump emphasized that he would not campaign for candidates who are already heavily favored to win. He explained that if a candidate is leading by a large margin, such as 40 points, and has been in office for a long time—like 25 years—they should not expect his support. This statement comes as Trump continues to play a prominent role in the political landscape despite not being on the ballot himself. Earlier in the day, he told reporters that he would help his party win the midterms, even though he is not running for office. This marks a continuation of Trump’s active involvement in the 2022 elections. Two weeks prior, he had encouraged supporters to “pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot” when they cast their votes. Now, he is promising to be on the campaign trail, supported by his super PAC, MAGA Inc., which has raised more than $400 million, according to recent campaign finance reports. This financial backing has raised hopes among Republican candidates in closely contested races that the funds will be used to bolster their campaigns. The midterms are seen as a critical test for the Republican Party, with control of the House of Representatives at stake. Trump’s high-profile support could influence voter turnout and campaign momentum, especially in key battleground states. However, the effectiveness of his campaign efforts will depend on how well they resonate with voters and whether they can translate into actual electoral gains for the party.
