Trump Cancels Kansas and Iowa Rallies, Denies Health Issues Amid Reporter ExchangePreviousNext

US President Donald Trump canceled planned campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa ahead of the midterm elections, shifting to virtual appearances instead. When asked by a Reuters reporter if health concerns prompted the cancellations, Trump responded angrily, denying any health issues and launching personal attacks on the journalist's appearance. Trump insisted he felt perfect and expressed confidence in Republican candidates in those states. The Republican National Committee confirmed the rally cancellations and announced a series of virtual events to support the campaign.
