LAS VEGAS — <\/span>President Donald Trump’s midterm roadshow to rally the GOP is stopping Wednesday in swing-state Arizona and a Republican-leaning U.S. House district in Montana. <\/p>\n The visits come as the Republican president works to bolster his party in Nov. 3 elections that will determine control of Congress, and they follow stops earlier this week in Ohio<\/a> and Alaska.<\/a><\/p>\n In Bullhead City, Arizona, Trump will be rallying support for Rep. Andy Biggs, who is seeking to defeat incumbent Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. Afterward, Trump is set to travel to Western Montana’s 1st District to try to boost Aaron Flint, a former aide to retiring Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, who served as Interior secretary in Trump’s first-term Cabinet. <\/p>\n Trump has kept up a brisk pace of hour-plus-long rallies \u2014 new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia called it a \u201cmidterm blitz\u201d \u2014 in his effort to stem expected Republican losses and fight a historical trend in which the president’s party typically loses seats in elections halfway through their term in the White House. <\/p>\n Arizona stands out as the lone swing state among the president’s recent stops, though the airport rally will be in an area of the state known as a Republican stronghold. His other visits so far in October have taken him into traditionally solid Republican territory \u2014 Alabama, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas \u2014 as he weathers low approval ratings<\/a>, rising costs<\/a> and the Iran war<\/a>. <\/p>\n With under three weeks left in the campaign, the Western swing comes as Trump’s party has begun retreating<\/a> from a handful of battleground U.S. House races and Democrats aim to raise money for candidates who seemed like long shots earlier this year.<\/p>\n
