President Donald Trump takes his midterm campaign to Michigan on Sunday, October 25, 2026, headlining a Republican rally in Port Huron — his first visit to the city as a sitting president. The rally comes a day after he cast his own midterm ballot early in Florida and kept open the possibility of fresh military action against Iran.
Port Huron rally: Trump is scheduled to speak at 3 p.m. inside McMorran Place Arena in downtown Port Huron, with doors opening at 11:30 a.m. Crowds began gathering well in advance, with some supporters lining up on Saturday afternoon. A small group of protesters, numbering around 30 to 40 people, also gathered downtown ahead of the event. The rally is part of the final push before the November 3 midterm elections, when voters will decide House, Senate, and governor races across the country.
Early vote in Florida: On Saturday, Trump voted early in Florida, where he has endorsed Republican Representative Byron Donalds in the race to succeed term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis, and campaigned for Republican Senator Ashley Moody. Speaking to reporters afterward, he said he had voted along party lines for Republican candidates.
Iran in focus: Asked whether the United States could strike Iran, Trump declined to give a direct answer, saying there was a possibility of military action and also a possibility of what he called a major agreement. His comments followed an earlier statement that the United States would not attack Iran before the November 3 midterms, citing what he described as productive discussions with Tehran. Iran's foreign minister has said a renewed war would not change Tehran's positions, and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz — a vital route for global oil shipments — remain high.
Georgia rally claims: At a rally in Perry, Georgia, on Saturday, Trump told supporters that Denmark had given the United States Greenland and claimed US control over Venezuela, calling it a great real estate deal. Those claims are not supported by the facts: Denmark has not transferred sovereignty over Greenland, and a US-Denmark memorandum signed on October 22 on maritime cooperation explicitly states that it does not apply to Greenland or the Faroe Islands.
What comes next: With just over a week until the midterms, expect near-daily campaign stops, dueling rallies from both parties, and continued attention on the economy, the cost of living, and foreign policy.
