Donald Trump’s rallies are giving Republicans a chance to win in November.

Breitbart reported:

President Donald Trump’s relentless campaign schedule in the home stretch before the midterm elections is something the White House says gives Republicans their best shot at emerging victorious next week.

Trump is and has been hosting rallies in battleground states and districts from coast to coast—Alaska one day, Texas another, North Carolina or Florida on the next, and everywhere in between—aimed at firing up the GOP base and driving up Trump voter turnout. Listening to any Republican strategist or candidate ahead of the elections next Tuesday, therein lies the issue for the GOP ahead of November 3: Republicans have to turn out their voters to have a chance. Enthusiasm is high on the Democrat side, for sure, given the national environment, and in any normal midterm election the party out of power like the Democrats this cycle would be expected to take sweeping majorities in both chambers of Congress. But the races are tightening everywhere, especially in U.S. Senate battlegrounds, and late August through September polling surges for Democrats in many of them are falling and races are reverting to the mean—meaning Republicans have a decent shot at hanging on to many seats that looked like they may have been lost just a couple weeks ago.

Red wave!
