Trump warns Kansans that US will 'burn' like France if Democrats win

Trump used unrest in France to warn that Democrats could bring violence to America as Republicans fight to hold a Kansas Senate seat.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump visited Park City, Kansas, to support Senator Roger Marshall, warning that the United States could experience civil unrest similar to recent riots in France if Democrats win upcoming elections.
  • Incumbent Marshall faces Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton in a state that has not elected a Democratic senator in 94 years, as Republicans fight to maintain narrow 218-214 House and 53-47 Senate majorities.
  • Rising fuel costs were palpable at the rally, with gas priced at $3.98 and diesel at $5.78, reflecting a 45% increase compared to last year according to travel analyst AAA.
  • Polling published Monday shows Trump's approval at a record low of 31%, prompting campaign strategy focused on rural areas to boost support among men 55 years and younger, a demographic crucial to his 2024 victory.
  • With the November 3 midterms approaching, Republicans face potential losses as they try to defy political headwinds, while rights advocates have criticized Trump's rhetoric for targeting immigrants and ethnic minorities in previous campaigns.
