The revised plans would combine in-person appearances in two closely contested states with virtual outreach to voters across the country, giving more Republican candidates access to the president’s support.
Trump Pushes Back on Travel Question
Trump rejected a reporter’s suggestion Thursday that the schedule change reflected fatigue with traveling.
“You’re sick to ask that question,” Trump responded.
