US Midterm Elections: Donald Trump Cancels His Weekend Rallies
Published
The Republican Party announced on Thursday that two rallies planned with Donald Trump this weekend will not take place. The information was published by the newspaper La Presse, which specifies that the former American president will now favour virtual appearances.
This decision comes in the context of the American midterm elections. This vote, held about two years after the presidential election, serves to renew the House of Representatives and part of the Senate. Large public rallies are traditionally important for candidates, because they allow them to mobilise voters and present campaign themes.
By choosing virtual appearances, Donald Trump will change the form of his participation in the campaign. Live rallies are generally very closely followed by supporters and the media. Online appearances, on the other hand, reach a different audience and require simpler organisation, but they offer fewer direct contacts with voters.
For now, the Republican Party has not given further details on the precise reasons for this cancellation or on the schedule of future appearances. Observers will therefore follow the coming weeks to see whether this strategy is confirmed and what effect it will have on the election campaign.
