President Donald Trump is set to make his final pitch to voters on Monday from one of the most iconic spots in America: the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.
The president is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. ET, the day before Tuesday’s midterm elections, according to Fox News. The closing message caps a weekslong campaign blitz that has taken him across more than 20 states as Republicans fight to keep control of Congress.
A packed final day
The Lincoln Memorial address isn’t the only stop on Monday’s schedule. Trump is also set to take part in nine tele-rallies throughout the day, reaching voters in races across the country by phone.
It follows a busy Sunday on the trail. The president held in-person rallies in Iowa and Kansas, two states he has won handily in the past, according to the Associated Press. Those stops had initially been scrapped in favor of tele-rallies before being added back to the schedule, Fox News reported.
More than 27 rallies in October alone
Trump has made 30 in-person political appearances since August, including more than 27 rallies in October, Fox News reported. The road show has drawn some big names, including boxing legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield and rapper Nicki Minaj, who joined the president onstage in Port Huron, Michigan.
Alex Bruesewitz, a senior adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign who has traveled with him on many of the recent trips, told Fox News Digital that moving a sitting president from rally to rally is a massive operation. “When you’re doing an event moving the current president of the United States, the logistics that go into it are nuts,” he said.
The message: keep Republicans in charge
The White House says the president’s pitch is straightforward. “President Trump will continue crisscrossing the country with unmatched energy and enthusiasm to deliver a simple message: with Republicans in control of Congress, Americans can expect safer streets, lower taxes, secure borders, and energy dominance,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
Tuesday’s elections will decide which party controls the House and Senate for the final two years of Trump’s term. Polls close Tuesday night, and the fate of the president’s agenda could come down to a handful of key races.
