What are the latest updates on President Trump's midterm campaign efforts?
Campaigning for the midterms. I'm Ted Littner, Fox News. President Trump hitting the campaign trail as Republicans try to hold control of Congress in the midterm elections coming up in November. Fox's Jared Halpern has more from the White House.
It was a familiar scene for President Trump, shaking hands and greeting voters at a restaurant outside Des Moines. But we have great unemployment numbers. Yeah. I think they're great. Is there one number that's bad? Can you tell? Is there one number that's bad? There's not one. At a rally in Clive, Iowa, the president says after a year in office, the country is respected.
Our economy is booming, incomes are rising, investment is soaring, inflation has been defeated. Our border is closed, totally closed.
Still, President Trump concedes the challenges for Republicans this year, with midterms often voting out the party of the sitting president. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.

After three consecutive cuts, central bankers are widely expected to leave the benchmark lending rate unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%.
What incident occurred during Ilhan Omar's town hall meeting?
However, the focus will be on the Fed's policy statement and Chair Jerome Powell's post-meeting press conference for clues on the path ahead. It will be Powell's first commentary since he revealed that the Justice Department is investigating him.
