Trump to rally in Florida, where gubernatorial and Senate races loom large

President Donald Trump, who rallied in Iowa on Thursday, will continue his campaigning blitz by rallying in Florida on Friday.

Trump is backing GOP Rep. Byron Donalds in the Sunshine State's gubernatorial contest.

Donalds faces Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Jolly in the widely-watched race, a former U.S. congressman who served in the House as a Republican.

The president has also endorsed Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, who is facing a challenge from Democratic Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon.

Trump will rally in Georgia on Saturday and Michigan on Sunday.

Supreme Court blocks use of student IDs as voter identification in New Hampshire

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed New Hampshire officials to reject student IDs as a valid form of identification when voters cast their ballots in next month's midterm elections.

A lower court judge previously found that state officials had improperly gone further than a new law restricting the use of student IDs to obtain a ballot, ruling that officials still had to consider student IDs alongside other evidence when voters lacked other means of verifying their identity.

But the Supreme Court took issue with the judge intervening this close to the elections.

The high court has said orders handed down too close to an election can cause voter confusion, an idea known as the Purcell principle. The court cited the recent legal back-and-forth over Missouri’s redistricting maps.

"Here, the District Court did not point to anything that would justify deviating from that principle," the majority wrote in its opinion.

Trump rally exposes surprising cracks in MAGA base as Republicans face midterm test

President Donald Trump's rally in South Carolina Wednesday revealed mixed feelings among his supporters as frustrations over the economy, immigration and the war with Iran collide with the stakes of November's midterm elections.

While some rallygoers urged fellow Republicans to look past their frustrations and turn out in November, one Clemson University student who once proudly wore a Trump hat said he was considering voting Democratic.

"I was a big Trump supporter," Grant Frady explained. "But, recently, I didn't support him for the 2024 election. I feel like there's too many special interests involved. I feel like what he said to the public was that he was anti-war. He was wanting to boost the economy. He said that he was just going to put America first, and I just feel like we haven't."

Trump traveled to South Carolina to rally support for Republican Sen. Darline Graham, who faces an unexpectedly competitive challenge from Democrat Annie Andrews in a state that has long favored Republicans.

"And he also, he said he was going to deport all the illegal immigrants. We haven't seen enough to really say that. I feel like he's just overstating. I feel he's causing too many problems for what he's really benefiting. We haven't gotten that many illegal immigrants out, and look how much problems we have with ICE."

Blanche won't rule out DOJ blocking election certification in 'doomsday' scenario

Attorney General Todd Blanche refused to rule out whether the Department of Justice could seek to intervene in states’ midterm election certification processes, saying there are extreme scenarios that could prompt federal action.

Speaking to reporters in Virginia on Thursday, Blanche said it was not his intention to "improperly interfere with elections," but declined to rule out federal involvement if a "doomsday scenario" were to happen.

"Of course there’s scenarios that we can all come up with hypothetically, you know, some doomsday scenario, for example, right?" he said. "So, I don’t think it’s proper to make any kind of conclusory statements about what’s going to happen in the future, because I have no idea what’s happening in the future."

Trump's MAGA faithful send warning to Republicans ahead of high-stakes midterm elections

SIOUX CITY, Iowa — President Donald Trump’s loyal base of supporters still have his and Republicans’ back in Iowa, but some are growing concerned over lingering issues, like the economy and gridlock in Congress, as Election Day nears.

Trump and Republicans ran on a platform of lowering inflation, halting "forever wars" and repairing an economy that they say was wrecked by former President Joe Biden and his administration. But prices are still high, and the war in Iran is still ongoing, causing a spike in fuel prices that have stuck around heading into Nov. 3.

Outside of Trump’s rally in Sioux City, Iowa, where the president was set to rile up support for Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, in a tightening Senate race against Iowa state Rep. Josh Turek, his supporters who spoke with Fox News Digital still backed Republicans but expressed hope that change would soon come.

Beth Fitzl, an Iowa voter, said of Trump that she didn’t "agree with everything he does, but in the end, he's here for us."

"This is the way I see it," Fitzl told Fox News Digital. "He's like the Packers, OK? They may be getting in deep, but they always pull it off in the end, and I truly think he's going to do something to turn it around. I really think he's going to pull something to turn it around."
