Trump promised a swing district blitz. He's going to a lot of very red states

Trump promised to campaign in about 35 competitive districts before the midterms, but has appeared with fewer than a third of those candidates and is mostly visiting safely red states like Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Alaska. The article says this reflects both where he can help and that even Republican-held states now have closer-than-expected races, like the Alaska and Kansas contests. Trump's strategy is to rally base turnout rather than persuade swing voters, defying the usual playbook for unpopular presidents. Races in North Carolina, including one Republicans expected to win after redistricting, are now competitive or slipping away.
