U.S. President Donald Trump visited battleground Senate states on November 1 (local time), two days before the midterm elections, to appeal for a consolidation of his support base.

During his speeches, he touted the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) development project as an achievement and continued to send messages of pressure against Iran.

Demonstrating his physical stamina, he spoke for a total of three and a half hours across two locations on this final day of campaigning.

Visiting Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday, President Trump said, "We are going to elect candidates everywhere who champion America First. All I am asking is that you go out and vote."

He launched a fierce attack, stating, "The Democrats are a completely corrupt party," and adding, "We must stop the America-hating communists and jihadists from taking over the United States."

Touting the achievements of his second administration, President Trump brought up Alaska, saying, "It was completely dead until I stepped in," and claimed, "We have a pipeline with ships going to places like Japan, South Korea, and China" for LNG transport.

This appeared to treat the Alaska LNG pipeline development project as a fait accompli and present it as his own achievement.

On this day, President Trump did not repeat his previous claim that South Korea had decided to invest in the Alaska project.

The South Korean government maintains its stance that investment in the Alaska LNG project will be decided once commercial rationality is secured.

Emphasizing that foreign corporate investment in the U.S. has increased thanks to his tariff policies, he also stressed, "(Companies from) Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, and South Korea are coming back."

He did not miss the opportunity to mention the conflict involving Iran.

President Trump said, "The only reason I don't want to finish off Iran is because I want to show goodwill," adding, "If possible, I want to save everyone's lives. But at some point, we will deliver a powerful blow."

President Trump has been simultaneously issuing messages about resuming attacks on Iran while also seeking a settlement through negotiations.

Ahead of the U.S. Senate election in Michigan, moderate Haley Stevens—who was eliminated in the Democratic primary—publicly endorsed the Republican candidate following conflicts with hardline progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed. President Trump expressed delight at this, saying, "I hope Stevens joins the Republican Party."

Later, President Trump visited Salina, Kansas, to deliver a campaign speech.

Following a two-hour speech in Iowa, he spoke for nearly an hour and a half in Kansas as well.

During his speech in Kansas, his voice briefly gave out, but 80-year-old President Trump generally maintained his vitality.

He also made a promise that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two major U.S. government-sponsored housing enterprises, would invest $4.3 billion in Kansas.

A promotional video highlighting President Trump's achievements, screened at the rally, briefly included footage of his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at Panmunjom in June 2019, where he stepped onto North Korean soil.

Both Iowa and Kansas, which have heavy agricultural weight, are strongholds that overwhelmingly backed President Trump by margins of over 10 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election, but Republican candidates have been struggling ahead of the midterm elections.

On November 2, the day before the midterm elections, President Trump plans to deliver a speech in front of the Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.

His campaign rallies visiting specific regions to urge support for Republican candidates concluded on this day.

Starting in October through this day, President Trump undertook a grueling schedule, visiting various parts of the country to hold campaign rallies nearly 30 times.

His visits to Iowa and Kansas were initially canceled, but after criticisms emerged questioning if it was due to physical strain from old age, he revived the last-minute schedule.
