- Donald Trump told supporters at a Tennessee Republican campaign rally they would "applaud anything he says," with the event held ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Trump defended calling Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed "Mohammed" and suggested he could rename either the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean after himself during the rally remarks.
Why it matters: Trump is publicly joking about renaming oceans and defending provocative name-calling toward a Senate candidate at a campaign stop roughly three weeks before voters head to the polls, signaling the unfiltered tone his party is taking into November's midterm elections.
