President Donald Trump held a rally Saturday night in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio, where he promised a Republican victory in the upcoming midterm elections.
The Ohio event is part of a broader red state swing for the president, occurring with roughly one month remaining before voters head to the polls.
Recent polling has shown promising signs for Democrats in their bid to regain control of Congress, adding urgency to Trump’s campaign appearances.
Trump has no public events scheduled for Sunday, giving him a brief pause in his midterm campaign activities before resuming travel.
The president is set to head to Nebraska on Monday as Republicans work to shore up support heading into the critical final stretch of the election season.
Vice President Vance is separately scheduled to travel to Alaska, with the administration spreading its political outreach across multiple states simultaneously.
Sunday morning news programming will feature a rare public appearance by a sitting Supreme Court justice, with Associate Justice Samuel Alito set to sit down with Fox News Sunday.
Alito told CBS News in a Friday interview that he had considered retirement at the end of the high court’s previous term, a disclosure likely to draw significant attention.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul named state Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor in the Cornell gang rape case, adding a significant legal development to the weekend’s news cycle.
Thomas Giuffra, an attorney representing Jane Doe in that case, is scheduled to appear on CNN’s State of the Union to discuss the high-profile matter.
Stephen Ferrell, an attorney for Christa Pike, who survived a botched execution in Tennessee, is also set to appear in a CNN interview on Sunday morning.
The combination of Trump’s campaign activity, a Supreme Court justice’s public comments on retirement, and two major legal stories promises to make for a highly consequential weekend in American politics.
