Donald Trump travels nationwide to back Republicans ahead of congressional vote
With two weeks until election day and control of Congress on the line, President Trump says he plans to spend more than $400 million on the races. Nancy Cordes reports.

Donald Trump is traveling across the United States to support Republican candidates as the deadline for the upcoming elections approaches, aiming to help his party secure power on Capitol Hill.
With only two weeks remaining before voters cast their ballots to decide which party will govern Congress, the former president has stated intentions to direct substantial financial resources toward competitive contests nationwide. According to a report by CBS News, Trump announced plans to invest more than $400 million into the legislative races.
The campaign push highlights the critical stakes of the midterm contests, where the political balance of both the House of Representatives and the Senate hangs in the balance. Major political figures and party leaders frequently embark on intensive travel itineraries in the closing stretch of an election cycle, hoping to rally core supporters and influence undecided voters in key battleground areas.
In addition to appearing on the campaign trail alongside candidates, major donors and leadership figures utilize campaign funding to support television advertising, digital outreach, and voter mobilization efforts. The pledge to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars reflects the scale of modern federal campaigns, where late-stage financial commitments often play a prominent role in determining the outcome of tightly contested seats.
Early voting operations have already commenced in multiple regions across the country, adding urgency to the nationwide appearances. As election day draws nearer, both political parties continue to pour resources into pivotal districts where small margins could determine legislative control for the next two years.
