Trump intensifies its electoral presence in the last few weeks leading up to the mid-term elections

In July, President Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity that he would campaign "six or seven days a week" in the months leading up to the mid-term elections on behalf of "all those exceptional people who have a difficult race ". Between last Saturday and last Friday, Mr. Trump failed to reach six days a week, but he participated in four campaign rallies in four states. He is scheduled to speak at another rally in Kentucky on Saturday.

Although the president seems to enjoy holding these rallies, he has other reasons to travel the country, including maintaining a Republican majority in Congress.

Democrats are generally expected to regain a majority in the House of Representatives this year and less likely to seize the Senate. The president will not be on the ballot this year, but he is running a mid-term election referendum on his administration by gathering troops across the country and personalizing the races.

The vulnerable Republicans he and the national party are hoping that the excitement Trump has garnered at his rallies will lead to voter turnout in November.

"It's also a referendum on me and the disgusting dead ends that they are going to inflict on this country," Trump told the Democrats gathering in Mississippi earlier this month.

Mr. Trump recently campaigned mainly in the states he won in 2016, often making multiple appearances in one state. Since July, he has held rallies more than once in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Montana. He also rallied to Nevada and Minnesota, where he leaned against Hillary Clinton.

The rallies follow a common structure for Mr. Trump. Crowds usually hear a litany of his accomplishments, such as the negotiation of new trade agreements such as the United States, Mexico and Canada, as well as the low unemployment rate. The president also systematically condemns members of the MS-13 gang and promises a border wall between the United States and Mexico. He also generally criticizes "fake media".

Mr. Trump's recent appearances in the campaign differed from his post-election rallies in 2017 and those he had held earlier this year. He focused on the attacks on Democrats, calling them the party of "open borders" and "crime", while Republicans are the party of "maintaining order" and " work, jobs, jobs ". Mr. Trump even noted that he repeated this phrase without discussion in several of his gatherings.

"I repeat that the Democrats are the party of the crime and nobody has even challenged me," he said on television. gathering in Ohio on Friday. He also reiterated that Democrats are "bad people" and often use the phrase "their purpose is to" delay and hinder ".

He spent time condemning the Democratic leaders of Congress, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Leader Nancy Pelosi. And since the controversy surrounding Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, he has also targeted Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee such as Senators Dianne Feinstein and "Da Nang Dick" – Senator Richard Blumenthal.

Mr. Trump used the democratic opposition to confirm Kavanaugh as a rallying cry.

"Their rabid-fueled resistance is starting to turn against them at a level never seen before," Trump said of the Senate Democrats. gathering in Minnesota earlier this month. He called the Democrats "rule of the crowd" at the rally in Ohio on Friday.

The president also put more emphasis on the vote than in the past, inviting participants to the rally to sign up to vote or vote early for the Republicans, in order to master their enthusiasm while he is fresh.

"Go out in 2018 because you vote for me in 2018," he told a Rally of September in Missouri.

Another unusual aspect of recent Trump rallies is the way the president often gives the stage to the candidate he supports. These candidates generally tend to focus their speech on their support for the president and their opposition to their Democratic opponent.

the rally Thursday in PennsylvaniaRepublican Representative Mike Kelly said Trump was "the strongest president we saw in our lifetime" and congratulated the president for leading the "resurrection" of the country, to applause.
