Trump's week-long Air Force One tour spans eight states ahead of midterms
President Donald Trump flew to eight states in seven days, using Air Force One to rally support for Republican candidates as the midterm election approaches.
In a nonstop week of campaigning, President Donald Trump used Air Force One to cover roughly 8,000 miles across eight states, beginning with a rally in San Antonio, Texas, and ending with appearances in Bullhead City, Arizona, and Kalispell, Montana. His schedule featured stops in Syracuse, New York, and Clarksville, Tennessee, before a record-long flight to Wasilla, Alaska, where he addressed crowds alongside Senator Dan Sullivan and Rep. Nick Begich III.
Subsequent legs took him to Las Vegas, Nevada, and then to Arizona and Montana on the same day. Throughout the tour, Trump supported a slate of Republican candidates, including Senate hopeful Ken Paxton, gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman, and others such as Jon Husted and Bernadette Wilson. The campaign effort, described by Wellness Company chief scientific officer Dr. Peter McCullough as “indefatigable,” highlights the president’s intensive travel schedule less than three weeks before Election Day.
