> Donald Trump first called off, then restored, two in-person rallies planned for this weekend in Kansas and Iowa. The Republican National Committee had said he would instead hold many tele-rallies. The reversal comes as Republicans fight to retain control of Congress and Democrats hope to gain seats amid discontent over Trump’s handling of living costs.
