Trump rallies Florida base amid ongoing campaigning blitz 11 days before midterms

Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson is expected to attend a rally with President Donald Trump on Saturday after initially planning to skip the event.

Jackson had originally planned to campaign only alongside Gov. Brian Kemp but now intends to attend both events, his campaign announced, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Jackson’s campaign previously described its decision to skip Trump’s rally as a strategic "force multiplier" intended to energize voters, the outlet reported.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate, slammed his Democratic opponent, James Talarico, as a "radical Democrat" during a campaign stop Friday.

Speaking to supporters in Selma, Texas, Paxton accused Talarico of supporting socialist policies and compared his political views to those of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“James Talarico, simply put, is a democratic socialist, just like AOC and just like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani,” Paxton said.

He also warned against the "Californication" of Texas.

“Do you know that he called Mamdani a template for all future American politicians? This is a guy running for Texas Senate, US Senate from Texas. We already know this. California has two senators. It doesn't need a third from here,” Paxton said.

Paxton also labeled Talarico the “most radical Democrat ever to run statewide in Texas, bar none.”

“Everything I laid out puts money in your pocket. His entire record takes it out. James Talarico does have a plan for your money. It just doesn't include you,” Paxton said

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul teamed up with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in Brooklyn on Friday, rallying voters and handing out campaign literature ahead of early voting.

Hochul, who is seeking a second, four-year term against Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, dismissed criticisms over her joint appearance with the socialist mayor.

“People want to make sure that we do not let someone who's promised Trump-style leadership in our state, and that is Bruce Blakeman,” Hochul told reporters. “And to those who question why I'm campaigning with him: He's more popular than Bruce Blakeman across the damn state of New York.”

Asked about Mamdani's ability to drive engagement among younger voters, Hochul praised his energy on the trail.

“The mayor brings an energy and excitement to our campaign. I'm grateful for that,” she said.

The governor also made it clear that Friday's campaign event isn't a one-off.

“This is a partnership that's going to endure for a long time," she said.

“... This is something that's not just campaign time. It is enduring.”

Rep. Ilhan Omar told Fox News Digital that her "real name" is "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" after a federal court filing identified the congresswoman by a last name matching that of her ex-husband, whom reports have alleged is her brother.

"Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, you know it," Omar told Fox News Digital when asked about her name. "It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

Omar was spotted by Fox News Digital at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minnesota as she made her way into the Karmel Masjid, inside the mall, for Friday prayers.

Her comments come after two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source, said that her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. The last name is the same as her ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is alleged to be her brother.

Federal prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar," in a Wednesday filing in D.C. federal court, as first reported by Fox News Digital. One source said the language used for her name in the filing reflected the evidence that has so far been compiled in the immigration fraud investigation.

During a midterm rally Friday in Fort Myers, Florida, President Donald Trump announced a $275 million federal investment to hire thousands of nurses for senior care facilities nationwide.

“The Trump administration is investing $250 million to hire at least 5,000 new nurses in elder care facilities all across America, and in particular, including the great state of Florida,” Trump told supporters.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said that through the new initiative, nursing students and licensed nurses interested in working in a nursing home may now qualify for up to $40,000 in student loan repayment or a $10,000 stipend in exchange for a three-year commitment to serve in a qualifying nursing home in a rural or higher labor-shortage area.

The announcement came during a campaign rally supporting Florida's Republican ticket, featuring gubernatorial candidate Rep. Byron Donalds and U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody.

President Donald Trump and Sen. Dan Sullivan's campaign are taking aim at a controversial challenger in the Alaska U.S. Senate race, calling out what they describe as a Democrat-backed effort to confuse voters on the ballot.

When asked ahead of a midterm rally Friday in Fort Myers, Florida, about the lawsuit surrounding the Alaska ballot controversy, Trump said he personally urged legal action regarding the race.

"I'm the one that said, do it," Trump said.

The president slammed challenger Daniel J. Sullivan as "the fake" candidate put up by Democrats to mislead voters on the ballot alongside incumbent Republican Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan.

Trump claimed Daniel J. Sullivan had never voted before, suddenly decided to run for Senate, and even attempted to change his middle initial to "S" while claiming the move had nothing to do with politics.

Gov. Ron DeSantis chimed in to point out that Daniel J. Sullivan is funded by liberal donors through ActBlue, an arrangement Trump called "a disgrace."

Responding to the legal action, Sen. Sullivan's campaign spokesman Nate Adams dismissed the candidate controversy as a political stunt.

"We’ll let the DOJ complaint run its course," Adams wrote in a statement. "Alaskans can tell the difference between a Democrat sideshow and Senator Sullivan’s strong record of delivering for Alaska."

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., fired back at President Donald Trump in a blistering social media post, calling him a "creep" and accusing his administration of spreading conspiracy theories about her.

"The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history," Omar wrote on X.

"Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine," she continued. "So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar."

Omar also took a swipe at Vice President JD Vance, writing, "Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is." Vance was born James Donald Bowman and previously used the surname Hamel before adopting Vance.

The Minnesota Democrat has faced renewed scrutiny over her immigration history amid federal investigations. Previous Fox News reporting has detailed an October raid on her Washington, D.C., home and subsequent questions surrounding her family and immigration records.

Hours later, Omar posted a video of her taking a stroll with her husband along a lake.

"Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes," she wrote.

President Donald Trump arrived in Fort Myers, Florida, on Friday, where he was greeted on the tarmac by Gov. Ron DeSantis as he continues his campaign push for GOP candidates nationwide.

“I just want to welcome the president back to his home state,” DeSantis said, standing alongside Trump. “They've got a big crowd in Fort Myers. I know a lot of people are excited. We've got a lot of races going on and I think we're going to do very well in Florida, as we have in recent years.”

Trump was scheduled to speak at Florida Gulf Coast University to headline a rally for Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds and U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Moody.

“He's going to be in great shape. He is going to be in great shape,” Trump told reporters when asked about Donalds’ campaign.

DeSantis expressed confidence in the party's momentum statewide, pointing to voter registration shifts over the last decade.

“I think any time you run as a first-time candidate, it's a big state,” DeSantis said. “You've got to get known. That just takes time. But if you look, when I ran eight years ago, we had 300,000 more registered Democrats in this state than Republicans. Today, we have 1.5 million more registered Republicans.”

The governor said that the turnout of the GOP base could decide the outcome across key races both in Florida and nationally.

“So I think what the president said is right,” DeSantis added. “If people come out, if our people vote, we will win, not just in Florida, but some of these other Senate races that are close. If people show up, we'll win those Senate races. So it's all about the turnout, and no one does it better than the President of the United States.” 

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed sought to reframe his signature healthcare platform during an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report,” clarifying that his vision for "Medicare for All" would not eliminate private health insurance.

While single-payer healthcare remains a cornerstone of his campaign, El-Sayed emphasized that a public system should serve as a guaranteed baseline rather than a replacement.

“It's about providing baseline health care for everybody,” El-Sayed told host Bret Baier. “It's like saying because you have public schools that somehow you can't have private schools. I'm fine with people keeping their private insurance if that's what they want. But I want guaranteed public insurance for everybody.”

“I have no issue with private insurance. I've got an issue with the fact that people don't have guaranteed public insurance," he added.

The interview is part of Special Report’s coverage from Michigan featuring sit-downs with both El-Sayed and Republican nominee Mike Rogers ahead of the high-stakes Senate contest.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon announced on X Friday that the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division will deploy its largest team of election observers to polling locations on Nov. 3.

Acting as federal "eyes and ears" at the polls, Dhillon said officials from the Justice Department will monitor operations for potential legal infractions and may pursue follow-up legal action if violations take place.

Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, defended a campaign advertisement on Friday, which features the estranged mother of his Democratic challenger, Dr. Amy Acton.

The controversial spot features Acton's mother calling her daughter a liar. The mother lost custody of Acton during her childhood following allegations of abuse involving Acton's stepfather.

Speaking to supporters Friday in a Cleveland suburb, Ramaswamy rejected criticisms that the ad exploited personal trauma.

“We ran an ad about lying,” Ramaswamy said. “Amy Acton is lying. She has been lying this entire campaign about me, about her record, about her history in this state. The irony is they are lying about an ad that is about lying. That is the truth of the matter. It had nothing to do with childhood abuse.”

The advertisement has sparked widespread controversy, drawing public pushback from prominent figures. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine called on Ramaswamy to withdraw the commercial from airwaves. 

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison criticized the Trump administration on Friday, accusing federal officials of unfairly targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and warning that the administration has engaged in a broader "war" against the state.

“The Trump administration is going after Congresswoman Omar three weeks before an election,” Ellison told reporters during a news briefing. “She's on the ballot, and federal agents searched her home. They're clearly targeting her for political reasons."

The statements follow a federal search executed at Omar's Washington, D.C. home as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into potential immigration fraud. The probe centers on documentation completed by her late father when her family originally immigrated to the United States as refugees from Somalia.

Omar, a fierce Trump critic, has denied any wrongdoing.

Ellison argued that the administration is weaponizing the Department of Justice against its political opponents.

He also condemned the deployment of federal law enforcement officers to Minnesota under Operation Metro Surge, a federal initiative aimed at enhancing local immigration enforcement.

“That's what Trump's war on Minnesota looks like,” Ellison stated. “Stand up to him and cast a vote before he continues down this path.”

The Justice Department is suing Alaska ahead of a high-stakes Senate race, alleging that a newcomer entered the contest under a similar name specifically to mislead voters and siphon support.

The complaint filed Thursday names the State of Alaska, Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher, and state election boards. It focuses on the upcoming race between incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democratic challenger Mary Peltola.

According to the lawsuit, newcomer Daniel J. Sullivan filed to run as a Republican with the sole intention of confusing supporters and benefiting the Peltola campaign.

“Daniel J. Sullivan decided to run for Senator in 2026 as a Republican with the intention of misleading supporters of Senator Sullivan into voting for him,” the complaint states. “The sole purpose of his candidacy is to benefit the Peltola campaign by reducing the number of votes for Senator Sullivan.”

State election officials had previously flagged several deceptive tactics, noting that the newcomer requested to appear on the ballot under the shortened name "Dan Sullivan," changed his party registration to Republican right before filing, copied the incumbent's campaign website design, and employed a consultant associated with Democratic campaigns.

Director Beecher initially rejected his candidacy as non-genuine, but the Alaska Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Daniel J. Sullivan must be placed on the November ballot.

The Justice Department is asking a federal judge to block the state from certifying the Senate election results if the newcomer wins close margin, citing potential "voter confusion."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., claimed that electing Maine Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson is of the utmost importance for Maine women.

Jackson, a former state senator, is challenging incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.

"And I want to say, for every woman in Maine, if we want to be able to deliver our children safely, and for our men ... in order to protect our families in moments of crises like these, the most important thing that we can do for women in Maine is to vote for Troy Jackson for the United States Senate," Ocasio-Cortez said while seated alongside of Jackson on Thursday.

"Because Troy believes in our reproductive freedom. Troy stands up for my and your right to choose, both constitutionally and with dollars in our pockets. He has stood up for our equal pay. He has stood up for our rights. And the most important thing for us as women to do is to elect this man to the United States Senate," she added.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital on Friday, Collins campaign spokesperson Blake Kernen said, "Troy is spending his time with far-Left progressive office holders who either don’t know or don’t care about the difficulties that he has had working with women. Senator Collins has been an incredibly effective advocate for health care including the funding that she advocated for Maine that the Governor was able to leverage to save Penobscot Community Health Centers from bankruptcy, preserving care for the 55,000 people they serve. Troy Jackson’s empty rhetoric and slogans don’t help people — effective action does."

Speaking outside his local polling location Friday morning after casting his ballot, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico expressed enthusiasm over unexpected voter turnout lines and framed his campaign as a historic grassroots effort to challenge the political system.

Talarico said more than 60,000 volunteers have been recruited to knock on doors, make phone calls and send text messages.

"We have shattered every grassroots fundraising record in American history, and we've done it without taking a dime from corporate PACs," Talarico said, describing the effort as a "people-powered movement" poised to "shock the nation and shock the world" on Nov. 3.

He added opponents have funneled more than $200 million into Texas — making it the most expensive Senate race in American history.

"The people at the top are terrified of this movement we're building in Texas, and they're doing everything they can to cling on to power," Talarico said. "... Although voter suppression is powerful [and] big money is powerful, it is nothing compared to people power."

Amid a heated Ohio gubernatorial contest, President Donald Trump on Friday continued staunchly standing behind the controversial ad by GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign that features Democratic opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother urging voters to reject her daughter.

"A mother is saying, don't put my daughter there because she's a terrible person and she's a liar. Why shouldn't somebody use that?" Trump said.

"But do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?" a reporter, who identified herself as working for NBC, pressed.

As the reporter repeatedly pressed the issue, Trump sniped "Quiet."

"You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?" Trump said.

"If I had that ad, I should be so lucky to have an ad like that. Why wouldn't you listen to a mother that says that? Why?" Trump asked, referring to the reporter as "miss NBC."

The reporter noted that the mother remained with the "stepfather who was charged with raping his stepdaughter in 1978, sir."

"I don't know anything about stepfathers from many, many years ago. I know that recently a mother got on television and said that her daughter should not be governor of Ohio," Trump said.

Ramaswamy, who is running against Democratic candidate Amy Acton in the Buckeye State's gubernatorial race, has faced criticism for a campaign ad featuring his opponent's estranged mother calling her daughter "a liar" who voters should reject.

“I love my daughter. But when I saw her lying about her opponent — it's not easy for a mother to say this — but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help. And she can't help you if she needs help herself," Donna Arthur said in the video. "Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fooling yourself. It will only get worse."

Acton issued a lengthy Facebook post addressing the video.

"Growing up in Youngstown, my brother Phil and I endured abuse, hunger, and neglect — even spending one winter homeless living in a tent. We were often kept in a dark basement, were frequent-fliers with child protective services, and lived in fear of our birth mother’s violent and erratic temper. Between the ages of 10 and 12, I was sexually abused by her husband, while my birth mother did nothing to protect me. I’ve always known that she was deeply sick and unwell, and it’s sad to see Vivek Ramaswamy exploit her all for his own political gain," part of Acton's Tuesday post stated.

"Eventually, I confided in my father and stepmother, and we were removed from that situation. My birth mother’s husband was arrested, charged with rape, and indicted by a grand jury. At 12 years old, I testified in court. I haven't seen my birth mother since that day in 1978. She and her husband fled the state and he was declared a fugitive," the candidate noted.

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital that he plans to pursue an effort to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., if the Justice Department finds her guilty of immigration fraud.

Fine, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, made the comments after Fox News Digital reported that a federal court filing identified Omar under the name "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," also listing "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" as an alias. The filing has raised questions about Omar’s identity and immigration records but does not establish that she committed fraud.  

"I assume that she’s not a citizen, so we might not even have to do that," Fine said. "You can’t be in Congress if you’re not a citizen of the United States, but if it isn’t automatic, I absolutely will demand expulsion immediately."

Omar is a naturalized U.S. citizen. She was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. She has denied wrongdoing and called the investigation politically motivated.

The Associated Press reported over 20 million people have voted in the 2026 midterms as of Thursday, less than two weeks ahead of Election Day.

The outlet said its data was gathered from 46 states. Texas — where the U.S. Senate contest between Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic Lone Star State Rep. James Talarico has been the subject of significant national attention — was ahead with 2.36 million ballots, with California close behind at 2.32 million.

Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez Jr. is leading Republican challenger Eric Flores 50% to 43% in Texas' 34th Congressional District, a border district, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll of likely voters.

The poll also found the race between Republican U.S. House candidate Carlos De La Cruz and Democratic candidate Johnny Garcia in the state's 35th Congressional District to be a toss up, with De La Cruz at 48% and Garcia on his heels at 47%, well within the margin of error.

The poll carried out Oct. 14-19 involved 626 likely voters in the the state's 34th district and 605 in the 35th district. The margin of error is 5.4 percentage points for the 34th district and plus or minus 6.2 percentage points for the 35th district.

Fox News Power Rankings rate Texas' 34th Congressional District as lean Democrat and the state's 35th district as lean Republican.

The GOP is aiming to cling to its House majority during the midterm election, while the Democratic Party is hoping to win control.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., excoriated Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him a "malignant clown" in a post on X.

"Every single Republican should denounce this malignant clown and rescind their support. Vote Amy Acton for Governor!" Jeffries added in the Thursday social media post.

The Ramaswamy campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's comment request on Friday.

Ramaswamy, who is running against Democratic candidate Amy Acton in the Buckeye State's gubernatorial race, has faced criticism for a campaign ad featuring his opponent's estranged mother calling her daughter "a liar" who voters should reject.

“I love my daughter. But when I saw her lying about her opponent — it's not easy for a mother to say this — but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help. And she can't help you if she needs help herself," Donna Arthur said in the video. "Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fooling yourself. It will only get worse."

Acton issued a lengthy Facebook post addressing the controversial video.

"Growing up in Youngstown, my brother Phil and I endured abuse, hunger, and neglect — even spending one winter homeless living in a tent. We were often kept in a dark basement, were frequent-fliers with child protective services, and lived in fear of our birth mother’s violent and erratic temper. Between the ages of 10 and 12, I was sexually abused by her husband, while my birth mother did nothing to protect me. I’ve always known that she was deeply sick and unwell, and it’s sad to see Vivek Ramaswamy exploit her all for his own political gain," part of Acton's Tuesday post stated.

"Eventually, I confided in my father and stepmother, and we were removed from that situation. My birth mother’s husband was arrested, charged with rape, and indicted by a grand jury. At 12 years old, I testified in court. I haven't seen my birth mother since that day in 1978. She and her husband fled the state and he was declared a fugitive," the candidate noted.

President Donald Trump is standing behind Ramaswamy and the controversial ad.

"I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse. That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this ad is bad, because it’s so good!" the president said in part of a Thursday Truth Social post.

Former Obama White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel encouraged the Democratic Party to appeal to moderate "McCain-Romney Republicans" in an op-ed Wednesday.

"The top story from the 2026 cycle will be the electoral opening Democrats seized — and will have to maintain," Emanuel wrote for The Wall Street Journal. "Most important, the McCain-Romney Republicans, who are politically homeless, need to be welcomed into Democrats’ governing and electoral coalition."

Emanuel argued that moderate Republicans who associate their politics closer with former Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and former Arizona Sen. John McCain have been dissuaded from the GOP by President Donald Trump and could be the deciding factor in the 2026 midterm elections.

Romney and McCain were the last Republican nominees for president before Trump in 2012 and 2008, respectively, losing each time to Barack Obama.

"Millions of McCain-Romney voters are redefining their political identities, and they will be most responsible for Democratic gains in November. These voters don’t want to be associated with MAGA, and they see themselves as free agents. The question for Democrats is whether we’re willing to give them a permanent home," Emanuel wrote.

With less than two weeks left until Election Day, fuel prices remain elevated, a factor likely to loom large as voters head to the polls during the 2026 midterms.

The AAA national average price for regular gas is $4.2926 as of Oct. 23, while the average for diesel is $6.3172.

The year-ago AAA national average for regular gas was $3.0713, while it was $3.6315 for diesel.

The record high AAA national average price for regular gas of $5.0165 was set back in 2022 during Democratic President Joe Biden's White House tenure, while the high for diesel of $6.5276 was just set last month during President Donald Trump's administration.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed New Hampshire officials to reject student IDs as a valid form of identification when voters cast their ballots in next month's midterm elections.

A lower court judge previously found that state officials had improperly gone further than a new law restricting the use of student IDs to obtain a ballot, ruling that officials still had to consider student IDs alongside other evidence when voters lacked other means of verifying their identity.

But the Supreme Court took issue with the judge intervening this close to the elections.

The high court has said orders handed down too close to an election can cause voter confusion, an idea known as the Purcell principle. The court cited the recent legal back-and-forth over Missouri’s redistricting maps.

"Here, the District Court did not point to anything that would justify deviating from that principle," the majority wrote in its opinion.

President Donald Trump's rally in South Carolina Wednesday revealed mixed feelings among his supporters as frustrations over the economy, immigration and the war with Iran collide with the stakes of November's midterm elections.

While some rallygoers urged fellow Republicans to look past their frustrations and turn out in November, one Clemson University student who once proudly wore a Trump hat said he was considering voting Democratic.

"I was a big Trump supporter," Grant Frady explained. "But, recently, I didn't support him for the 2024 election. I feel like there's too many special interests involved. I feel like what he said to the public was that he was anti-war. He was wanting to boost the economy. He said that he was just going to put America first, and I just feel like we haven't."

Trump traveled to South Carolina to rally support for Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who faces an unexpectedly competitive challenge from Democrat Annie Andrews in a state that has long favored Republicans.

"And he also, he said he was going to deport all the illegal immigrants. We haven't seen enough to really say that. I feel like he's just overstating. I feel he's causing too many problems for what he's really benefiting. We haven't gotten that many illegal immigrants out, and look how much problems we have with ICE."

Attorney General Todd Blanche refused to rule out whether the Department of Justice could seek to intervene in states’ midterm election certification processes, saying there are extreme scenarios that could prompt federal action.

Speaking to reporters in Virginia on Thursday, Blanche said it was not his intention to "improperly interfere with elections," but declined to rule out federal involvement if a "doomsday scenario" were to happen.

"Of course there’s scenarios that we can all come up with hypothetically, you know, some doomsday scenario, for example, right?" he said. "So, I don’t think it’s proper to make any kind of conclusory statements about what’s going to happen in the future, because I have no idea what’s happening in the future."

President Donald Trump, who rallied in Iowa on Thursday, will continue his campaigning blitz by rallying in Florida on Friday.

Trump is backing GOP Rep. Byron Donalds in the Sunshine State's gubernatorial contest.

Donalds faces Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly in the widely-watched race, a former U.S. congressman who served in the House as a Republican.

The president has also endorsed Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, who is facing a challenge from Democratic Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon.

Trump will rally in Georgia on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — President Donald Trump’s loyal base of supporters still have his and Republicans’ back in Iowa, but some are growing concerned over lingering issues, like the economy and gridlock in Congress, as Election Day nears.

Trump and Republicans ran on a platform of lowering inflation, halting "forever wars" and repairing an economy that they say was wrecked by former President Joe Biden and his administration. But prices are still high, and the war in Iran is still ongoing, causing a spike in fuel prices that have stuck around heading into Nov. 3.

Outside of Trump’s rally in Sioux City, Iowa, where the president was set to rile up support for Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, in a tightening Senate race against Iowa state Rep. Josh Turek, his supporters who spoke with Fox News Digital still backed Republicans but expressed hope that change would soon come.

Beth Fitzl, an Iowa voter, said of Trump that she didn’t "agree with everything he does, but in the end, he's here for us."

"This is the way I see it," Fitzl told Fox News Digital. "He's like the Packers, OK? They may be getting in deep, but they always pull it off in the end, and I truly think he's going to do something to turn it around. I really think he's going to pull something to turn it around."
