A US Senate contest in the historically Republican state of Mississippi is drawing fresh attention in the final stretch of the midterm election cycle, with President Donald Trump holding a rally to boost the GOP candidate and control of the chamber hanging on the outcome of races in states the president won two years ago.  

Trump will headline a rally in the city of Corinth, eight days before the election, the Republican National Committee said in a statement last week. The move, in a state Trump won by more than 22 percentage points in 2024, comes with the president’s approval rating hitting record lows and Democrats needing to flip just four seats to retake the Senate.
