Trump Campaigns in Iowa to Support Republicans Ahead of Midterm Elections
What happened
President Trump held a rally in Iowa to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Trump told attendees to pretend he was on the ballot. The event included Rep. Ashley Hinson, who is running in a state Trump won by 13 percentage points in the 2016 presidential election.

CBS News leads with the idea that Hinson is distancing herself from Trump, describing her pledge to "push back on White House" and noting a "political environment that has dimmed for the party."
