Thanks for having me.

Well, Trump is trying to gain critical support for Republicans in swing states ahead of the midterm election, really trying to get the momentum going.

Both Nevada and Arizona are critical battleground states, and Trump doesn't want to lose control of Congress come November.

But that's looking like it might be an uphill battle.

Trump has been in a lot of hot water following a slew of unpopular policies, including most recently the war in Iran.

The war has driven up gas prices and inflation, major election issues.

In an average of the polls, the president has hit a record low approval rating of 39%.

However, Trump did not have to worry about criticism with this crowd.

The crowd frequently erupted in cheers when Trump said something they agree with, even when he was speaking about the war.

And they booed loudly whenever Trump mentioned something about Democrats.

Even if morale is low nationwide, the audience was full of loyalists.

When member station KJZZ political reporter Cameron Sanchez asked about the president's sharp criticisms of Pope Lito, many voters here backed Trump.

This is what Ken McCormick had to say.

These are the voters.

And this is the kind of crowd he feels he can build momentum and a swing stay ahead of a midterm election that could be really cumbersome for Republicans.

The majority of polls project a Democratic advantage.

But Trump told attendees not to listen to the polls.

Just get out and vote red when the time comes.

You know, Trump stuck to his usual script for the most part.

He praised the same talking points he has since the beginning of his second term.
