Trump launches midterms campaign blitz amid record low approval ratings

United States President Donald Trump has kicked off a 32-day campaign tour ahead of the November midterm elections that could see his Republican Party hurt by his handling of the war on Iran and the economy. "I give us an A+ on the government, on economics, on everything," Trump told a crowd of supporters at the Peterbilt Motors Company, a truck manufacturer. The president also blamed unfair media coverage for his growing unpopularity, arguing that his pre-election rally blitz was necessary to set the record straight. "We're doing an extremely poor job of promotion and an extremely great job of running the country," Trump said. But Trump's poll numbers have raised concerns about Republican prospects ahead of the November 3 midterm election.
