Trump Closes His Midterm Campaign in Iowa and Kansas - and Takes His Final Argument to the Lincoln Memorial on Election Eve

President Donald Trump has closed out his midterm rally tour in two states he once won comfortably, ending Sunday in Salina, Kansas after an earlier stop in Dubuque, Iowa, in a final weekend that also took in Florida and telephone rallies for candidates in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to BBC reporting read this cycle. 'We're going to elect America first Republicans up and down the line,' he said in Iowa, and in Salina he told the crowd: 'This is our last stop. We're closing it down tonight.'

The tour's geography is the story both parties are reading on Election Day eve: Florida, Iowa and Kansas were once considered reliably Republican territory, and a president campaigning there in the final days underlines how competitive this cycle has become. The White House says the campaign does not end in Kansas - digital rallies and a speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington are scheduled for Monday evening, the last word before polls open.

What Tuesday decides is control of both chambers of Congress for the final two years of Trump's presidency: all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are on the ballot, with Republicans holding a narrow 219-214 House majority and a 53-47 Senate majority. More than 54 million votes have already been cast nationally. In Michigan, one of the closest Senate races took a late twist Sunday when congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost the Democratic nomination to Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed the Republican candidate, Mike Rogers. For Pensacola voters, the national argument lands at assigned precincts on Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
