Trump to campaign in deep-red Oklahoma, Alabama
Trump will rally for Mike Mazzei in Oklahoma and Republican candidates in Alabama as GOP leaders seek to boost turnout in competitive races.
- President Donald Trump will hold midterm rallies Thursday, Oct. 1, at the Choctaw Event Center in Durant, Oklahoma, and Friday, Oct. 2, at the Mitchell Center in Mobile, Alabama, with both events hosted by the Trump 47 Committee.
- Trump's October itinerary marks a departure from his earlier pledge to campaign in 35 competitive battleground districts, as he instead visits Alabama and Oklahoma, two of the most Republican states, signaling Republicans are playing defense in traditionally safe territory.
- In Oklahoma, Trump endorses Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Mazzei, who won the primary last month by just over 2,000 votes; Mazzei confirmed Friday he will attend despite a previously scheduled debate with Democratic nominee Cyndi Munson that evening.
- Trump's Alabama approval rating stands at 48 percent, down five points since early August, according to Civiqs polling; Rep. Barry Moore said the rally will be "jet fuel" to win big, while former Sen. Doug Jones argued it will fail to address extremely low voter turnout.
- Trump returns to Mobile nearly 10 years after his first mega-rally there in August 2015, which drew 30,000 people and established his candidacy as serious; the visit follows Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's announcement last week of a $2.5 billion federal loan for the Mobile River Bridge.
