Trump's last-minute fundraising email warns supporters of looming midterm defeat

A week before the midterm elections, Donald Trump dispatched a fundraising blast called “Farewell President Trump,” featuring an image of him boarding a train and urging supporters not to let him “say goodbye.” The email warned that a Democratic sweep could lead to a third impeachment and the undoing of his agenda, despite no evidence such actions are imminent. It follows a similar October 4 message that framed the next four weeks as possibly his final term.

The outreach coincides with Trump’s recent campaign stops in Texas, Kansas and Ohio, highlighting GOP concerns about voter turnout amid his low approval ratings and the ongoing Iran conflict. The piece also notes rising ambitions among Republican figures such as JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth for the 2028 presidential race. Critics argue the email is a desperate attempt to mobilize the base by portraying a dire post-midterm scenario.
