On Sunday, former President Donald Trump held two rallies in the heartland as the last push before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. He spoke in Dubuque, Iowa, and then traveled to Salina, Kansas, where he urged his supporters to vote for Republican candidates to keep the party in control of Congress.
Trump told the crowd in Salina, "If you elect a Republican House and a Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will continue to put America first every single day."

He also called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of killing a law-enforcement officer, reinforcing his stance on criminal justice.
He urged voters to back incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall and Republican gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson, emphasizing the importance of local races in the national outcome.
In a brief appearance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised Trump’s record on national security, saying, "The most important job every president does is keep you and your family safe, and no president in my lifetime has done that better than the one we have right now."

BBC News reports that Trump also held a rally in Florida on the same weekend, but this claim is not corroborated in the Anadolu Agency account of his Iowa and Kansas appearances.
The Nov. 3 midterm elections will determine control of both chambers of Congress, with all 435 seats in the House and 35 Senate seats up for election. Trump’s final weekend rallies underscore the Republican effort to mobilize voters in key swing states before the vote.
