Donald Trump Kansas rally LIVE: US President in Topeka after Brett Kavanaugh sworn in
DONALD TRUMP is in Topeka, Kansas today for his latest Make America Great Again rally as he continues to campaign for Republicans ahead of next month’s mid-term elections.
His appearance marks his fourth and final rally of the week and comes on the same day his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, was officially sworn in.
Given the difficulty to secure his appointment following sexual assault allegations, it is likely the US President will focus heavily on Mr Kavanaugh’s swearing-in.
He may also focus on his wife’s solo trip to Africa, where she is promoting her “be best” campaign.
