President Trump to hold rally in Wichita supporting Sen. Roger Marshall

President Donald J. Trump is scheduled to address a rally in Wichita on Monday, Oct. 19, in support of Republican Senate candidate Roger Marshall. The event, whose venue has not been disclosed, will open to the public at 2 p.m., with a program beginning at 4:30 p.m. and the president’s speech slated for 6 p.m. Attendees can RSVP through the event’s online page.

Kansas is one of ten states Trump plans to visit this month as part of his campaign activities ahead of the November midterm elections, according to Politico. In a social-media post announcing the trip, Trump praised Marshall’s Senate work, calling him “a truly great American patriot.”

While Trump is not a candidate in the 2024 election, he continues to campaign for Republican office-holders and has pledged a $5,000 payment to every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans retain control of both chambers of Congress. Polls indicate the Senate race between Marshall and Democrat Adam Hamilton remains competitive, and Kansas has not elected a Democratic senator since 1932.
