Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Alabama as he sought to energize Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections. The event came amid mounting Republican unease about their prospects in contests that will decide control of Congress.
Republican concerns have been driven in part by voter worries over high costs and elevated gas prices. Trump has repeatedly downplayed those economic concerns while the unpopular U.S. military action in Iran continued to draw criticism and complicate the political landscape.
The rally was part of a broader effort by Trump and other Republican leaders to boost turnout and enthusiasm among the party’s base as election day approaches.
