Trump's heated exchange amid crucial midterm campaign | 7NEWS

A question about cancelled Kansas rallies draws an angry response from Donald Trump, before the president confirms that both Kansas and Iowa are on his Sunday campaign schedule.

The exchange is the centrepiece of a 7NEWS Australia report on his final midterm election push. An unseen reporter asks whether travel fatigue was behind the cancellations; Trump responds by attacking the question rather than addressing fatigue directly.

Later, speaking in the Oval Office, he says: "We're going to Kansas, as you probably heard. We're going to Kansas and Iowa on Sunday."

The report has drawn roughly 138,000 views in nineteen hours, already far above the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.

Correspondent Mylee Hogan places the confrontation alongside early voting and the contest for control of Congress. Trump acknowledges the historical difficulty presidents face in midterms, but says he thinks his party has a chance of doing well.

Hogan also reports that Pope Leo XIV has cast an absentee ballot, describing him as the first pontiff to vote in a US election.
