U.S. President Donald Trump held rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday, urging voters to support Republican candidates in a final campaign push ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
Trump addressed supporters in Dubuque, Iowa, before traveling to Salina, Kansas, where he called on voters to elect Republican majorities in both the House and Senate.
“If you elect a Republican House and Republican Senate on November 3rd, we will continue to put America first every single day,” Trump told supporters.
The Nov. 3 elections will decide all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats.
Trump said Republicans would pursue tighter immigration restrictions, voter identification and proof-of-citizenship requirements and a ban on sanctuary cities if they retained control of Congress.
He also called for the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers and human traffickers, as well as anyone convicted of killing a law enforcement officer.
“The golden age of America is upon us, but you must go out and vote,” Trump said.
In Kansas, Trump urged voters to support Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who is seeking reelection, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson.
“Let’s go out and do what we do best, which is to win, win, win,” Trump said. “On November 3rd, we’re going to win, and let’s make the next two years bigger and better and stronger than ever before.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also briefly addressed the Kansas rally, focusing on Trump’s national security record.
“The most important job every president does is keep you and your family safe, and no president in my lifetime has done that better than the one we have right now,” Rubio said.
“Because he’s our president, America’s stronger. You’re safer, and our enemies are weaker all around the world,” he added.
