Trump in Arizona to Support GOP Candidates in Close Midterm Races
Trump defended accepting the Qatari jet and urged voters to back Andy Biggs as Republicans try to limit midterm losses.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump campaigned in rural Arizona, showcasing the new Air Force One, a 747 aircraft gifted by the Qatari royal family. Trump told supporters, "When they give you a 747 you say two words: 'thank you.'"
- The rally in Mohave County, where Trump won 78% of the vote in 2024, is part of a "midterm blitz" aimed at stemming Republican losses. The area suffers from higher poverty and unemployment rates than the national average.
- Endorsing Rep. Andy Biggs, Trump attacked Democratic Katie Hobbs, claiming Biggs "will always stand with law enforcement" and alleging Hobbs "does the bidding of the cartels" on the border. Biggs, a House Freedom Caucus member, seeks to defeat Hobbs.
- Shifting campaign funds reflect a defensive posture for Republicans, who have trimmed expectations in Senate races, while Democrats show new aggression. With under three weeks until Election Day, the party is retreating from select battleground House races.
- Afterward, the president headed to Western Montana's 1st District to campaign for Aaron Flint, an Army veteran and talk-radio host. Flint faces Democratic Sam Forstag for the seat held by retiring Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke.
