Cedar Rapids Waterloo Iowa City & Dubuque, IA, October 16, 2026 —

Former President Trump has campaign rallies planned in six states during the final weeks before the midterm elections, as election analysts observe congressional races shifting in Democrats’ favor.

The planned stops include Georgia, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Iowa. The trend summary describes the schedule as busy but does not provide rally dates, venues or details about which congressional candidates, if any, are expected to appear.

It also does not identify the election analysts or specify which races they say are moving toward Democrats. No polling figures, explanations for the reported shift or assessments of how the rallies could affect individual contests were provided.

The information does not state whether the events have been formally announced by Trump or his campaign, or whether any schedule details remain subject to change. The campaign’s stated goals for the rallies and the names of local organizers were not included.

The available details therefore establish the states where rallies are planned and their timing relative to the midterms, but offer no further information about the itinerary or the campaigns involved in the congressional races. Additional specifics about dates, locations and participating candidates were not provided.
