Bergen County residents will see no new local events from the White House as President Donald Trump concluded a 32 day travel schedule. The president held 30 campaign events across 20 states between October 1 and November 1, according to figures released by the White House on Monday, November 2. The final stop occurred in Kansas, ending the tour one day before the midterm elections.

The administration’s summary lists appearances in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Texas hosted the most stops with four appearances. Ohio followed with three. Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas and South Carolina each received two visits.

The schedule included four days with back to back events in different cities. On October 1, the president appeared in Denton, Texas, and Durant, Oklahoma. On October 14, he traveled to Bullhead City, Arizona, and Kalispell, Montana. On October 27, he visited Corpus Christi and Lubbock, Texas. The tour ended on November 1 with stops in Dubuque, Iowa, and Salina, Kansas.

During the final rally in Salina, the president told supporters he had reached his 30th rally in 32 days. The events included rallies, campaign speeches and policy promotions focused on immigration, energy, taxes and the economy. The White House noted that the president held at least one appearance for 12 consecutive days.

Between October 12 and November 1, the president held 21 campaign events. This final stretch occurred while Republicans sought to retain their congressional majorities. Democrats campaigned on economic affordability, government accountability and opposition to administration policies. Trump used his appearances to promote Republican candidates and urge participation in the Tuesday elections.

The White House described the schedule as an unusually demanding stretch of presidential travel. The itinerary frequently included states with competitive congressional races. The president’s presence in these states aimed to support Republican candidates in the upcoming vote.
