 Trump to Rally in Kansas as Vance Campaigns in North Carolina: Live Updates

I found details on the Kansas half of that headline, but nothing yet on Vance's North Carolina stop today.

Trump in Wichita, Kansas: Trump is hosting a midterm rally today, Oct. 19, in Wichita, with doors opening at 2:30 p.m., the program starting at 4:30 p.m., and his remarks set for 6 p.m. The rally is meant to help Sen. Roger Marshall. Marshall faces Democrat Adam Hamilton, a Methodist megachurch pastor, in a tight Senate race. Trump won Kansas in 2024 by more than 16 points, but Republicans have grown increasingly worried about Marshall holding his seat.

North Carolina context: Trump is also scheduled to rally in Greenville, N.C., to boost Senate candidate Michael Whatley and Laurie Buckhout, the GOP nominee in the 1st Congressional District. Earlier this month, the Senate Leadership Fund said it was pulling back spending in North Carolina and sending more money to Kansas. That shift is part of why Kansas is drawing attention this late in the cycle.

The search results didn't include a current report on Vance's North Carolina event, so I can't confirm where or when he's appearing. I'd check a live source like the AP or a local North Carolina outlet for that.

Is there something specific you'd like, such as a summary of either Senate race or what's at stake in the midterms?
