Washington, Nov 7 (TIWN) US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump have held duelling rallies to fire up voters as campaigning for Tuesday's midterm elections is slated to end on Monday.

The potential announcement date was first reported by Axios.

On Thursday night, Trump opened a swing of four rallies in the final five days of the midterm elections in Iowa, where he was joined by Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican seeking an eighth consecutive six-year term.

His Iowa stop highlighted both the power and the limitations of his political brand as he inches closer to announcing a third presidential campaign.

Even though he is not on the ballot this year and his stump speech is spent mostly rehashing old grievances and policies, Trump still drew thousands on a night when temperatures dipped to 4° Celsius.

But the fact that he was campaigning in this remote stretch of a state that remains far down the list of midterm battlegrounds was a reflection of Trump’s political baggage.

In the five states with toss-up Senate races, according to Cook Political Report, Trump has not held rallies in two — Georgia or Wisconsin — since the primary season ended. He’ll visit just one of those toss-up states, Pennsylvania, in his final four rallies. He’s scheduled to campaign in Florida and Ohio this weekend.
