President Donald Trump will campaign in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday, the White House announced Friday, reversing a decision a day earlier to cancel the appearances in favor of virtual events. The restored stops will bring Trump to two states with competitive Senate races as Republicans work to turn out voters in the final days before the midterm elections.
“Rallies are BACK ON! President Trump loves his supporters, and in addition to nearly 20 tele-rallies, he will hold back-to-back rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday,” the White House said in a statement. “No one works harder, fights harder, or loves the American people more than President Donald J. Trump!”

The original schedule called for Trump to visit Kansas on Saturday and Iowa on Sunday, explained The Guardian. Both appearances are now scheduled for Sunday, allowing the president to maintain his virtual campaign schedule while making the two stops. A person familiar with the arrangements told the Associated Press that the schedule had been adjusted to accommodate both the remote events and the rallies.

Republican leaders had described the earlier cancellations as a shift toward virtual “tele-rallies” that would allow Trump to reach voters in more states before Election Day. The decision nevertheless drew attention as an apparent retreat from in-person campaigning at a time when control of Congress is at stake and some Republican candidates face tighter-than-expected races.
Trump has spent recent weeks campaigning in Republican-leaning states, with a Florida appearance scheduled for Friday evening. Sunday’s rallies will add two more in-person events to that effort while preserving the broader push to reach voters remotely.
