Trump Cancels Kansas, Iowa Rallies, Opts for Tele-Rallies

President Donald Trump on Thursday cancelled in-person weekend rallies in Kansas and Iowa, where Republicans face competitive Senate races, and will hold tele-rallies instead. The Republican National Committee said the change maximizes opportunities for him to speak to voters across the country. Trump told reporters he didn’t “feel I have to go to Kansas,” saying Sen. Roger Marshall “is doing well,” and insisted he felt “perfect” when asked about his health.
