What was said

… Let's let that's what the voters want. That's what the people want." You are seeing a failing regime right now in this country, and you could tell by just looking at the schedule that Donald Trump has in this final week before the midterm. Donald Trump going to the liberal bastions, the swing states of Mississippi, of Texas, of Iowa, of Ohio, Florida, Montana, and Kansas.

What we found

Supports. AP/The Hill reported that Trump was in Texas on Oct 27 for a last-minute push, and had swung through Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and Iowa over the prior week, with next stops in Ohio, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas and Iowa.[3]

Supports. The White House schedule reported by cleveland.com listed Trump in Corinth, Mississippi on Oct 26 and two Texas stops on Oct 27, within the final week before the midterms.[4]

Supports. AP reported Trump held a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida on Oct 30, and that he had rescheduled Iowa and Kansas rallies for Sunday after initially canceling them.[1][5][6]

Context. Trump's Iowa and Kansas rallies were canceled by the RNC on Oct 29 and reinstated by a source the next day, so the Iowa and Kansas stops were planned and then altered within the final week.[2][7][8]

Context. Montana appears in the schedule reporting only for Vice President JD Vance, not for Trump, so the Trump-in-Montana element is not addressed by the sources.[4]
