Trump suddenly cancels highly-anticipated rally in Kansas on eve of midterms in move shocking GOP insiders

Donald Trump will no longer attend his highly-anticipated Kansas rally on the eve of the midterm elections in a move shocking Republican insiders. 

Instead, the rally will be a virtual event, sources told the Associated Press. The White House confirmed President Trump will host more than 20 tele-rallies before election day.

Control of Congress is at stake in the 2026 midterms and Republicans are working to maintain their narrow majorities in both the House and Senate, while Democrats are trying to flip the chambers.
