- Trump is hitting the campaign trail with one month until the midterms, targeting traditionally red states to ramp up voter turnout and protect the GOP's congressional majority.
- The GOP is scrambling to hold Congress against headwinds from rising costs and a deeply unpopular Iran war, with Trump's October blitz positioned as the party's primary turnout lever.
Why it matters: With 30 days until the midterms, the GOP's thin congressional majority hinges on whether Trump's red-state campaign push can overcome voter anger over costs and the Iran war — making the final October messaging sprint the party's last major opportunity to shift the turnout calculus before Election Day.
