Donald Trump has stepped up his campaign activity across states previously won by Republicans, making a final push before Tuesday’s US elections. The contests could determine which party controls Congress.
The rallies formed part of an intensified effort during the last weekend of campaigning. By returning to areas that have supported Republican candidates in the past, Trump highlighted the importance of those states as both parties sought to secure support before polling day.
The elections are being closely watched because their outcome could decide control of Congress. The source material does not specify which states Trump visited, the individual races involved or the issues addressed at the rallies.
Trump’s activity underlined the uncertainty surrounding Tuesday’s vote and the significance of the final days of campaigning. The latest known position is that both parties were preparing for the elections, with control of Congress still at stake.
