President Trump touted the size of his campaign rallies as he continues to stump for Republican candidates before the November midterm elections and said, “SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING – WATCH!”
“The crowds at my Rallies are far bigger than they have ever been before, including the 2016 election. Never an empty seat in these large venues, many thousands of people watching screens outside,” he wrote on his Twitter account Monday. “Enthusiasm & Spirit is through the roof. SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING – WATCH!”
The president has been crisscrossing the country to stage rallies in recent weeks while giving media interviews to keep the Republican base engaged in the 2018 elections, in which all 435 seats in the US House are up for a vote and GOP control of the Senate could be in play.
After hitting Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa last week, he’ll be in Montana, Arizona and Nevada this week for “Make America Great Again” rallies, where he routinely speaks for more than an hour.
Besides the campaign stops, Trump has been on a media blitz, calling in to “Fox & Friends” last Thursday and sitting with CBS’ Lesley Stahl for an interview that aired Sunday on “60 Minutes.”
On Tuesday, he’ll be interviewed on Fox Business.
Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, said Trump is communicating with the American people.
“If he’s going to be the No. 1 topic of conversation across the country every day anyway, he might as well weigh in,” she told the New York Times.
