Trump’s Travel Schedule Shows Focus on Saving the House

President Donald Trump will hold rallies for Republican candidates this month, just as he did throughout summer, but his upcoming itinerary hints at a home-stretch focus: providing a bulwark against a Democratic surge that could imperil his party’s House majority.

Up until now, many of Trump’s rallies have been in states with key Senate races, like Florida -- where he traveled Monday -- North Dakota, Missouri and Montana. But of four planned rallies in the next six days, two are in states that don’t have a Senate race and two more are in states where the Republican Senate candidates trail by wide margins.
