What to know

  • Trump is rallying in Wasilla on October 13 to support Senator Dan Sullivan and Representative Nick Begich III, both facing unexpectedly competitive races despite Alaska voting for Trump in 2024.
  • The Alaska rally is part of a broader five-state campaign swing through traditionally Republican states where GOP congressional candidates risk losing control of Congress amid high gas prices and Trump's unpopular military involvement in Iran.
  • White House officials say Trump's base turnout strategy relies on his personal presence to mobilize supporters who may not vote for candidates without his endorsement in competitive contests.

“This is my very first protest. I think he is doing these rallies because he's worried about the election.”

    Reuters reports Trump campaign swing through Ohio, Alaska, Arizona, Montana

    Trump is conducting a multistate campaign swing through traditionally Republican states where GOP candidates face unexpectedly tight races. With three weeks until Election Day, Trump will visit Ohio (twice), Alaska, Arizona, and Montana—all states he won in 2024—as Republicans risk losing control of Congress. The Alaska stop comes as Senator Sullivan faces a close race against Democrat Mary Peltola.

    “I want to give some recognition to places that have just backed me automatically, like Tennessee, and I'll be going to Ohio, which backed me, but we have very close races.”
    — President Donald Trump
