ELECTION/GOP/RALLY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump plans to visit six states over the next 10 days to energize his supporters to turn out for Republicans in tight races for the House of Representatives in upcoming congressional elections, according to a White House memo. Trump’s Republican Party is at risk of losing control of the House in the Nov. 6 midterm vote at a time when, historically, the party in control of the White House loses ground in Congress. Trump heads on Thursday [10-4-18] to Minnesota where Republicans want to give a boost to two House candidates: one in an open race and another, a first-term incumbent, who is running in a Democratic-leaning district. He then plans to visit Kansas on Saturday, Iowa on Tuesday [10-9-18], Pennsylvania on Wednesday [10-10-18], Ohio on Friday [10-12-18] and Kentucky on Saturday, Oct. 13, according to the internal memo seen by Reuters.”
