President Donald Trump has reversed course and will now hold midterm rallies in Kansas and Iowa this weekend after he was called out by a reporter for canceling them, according to reports.

Before the U-turn, the rallies in Kansas and Iowa – Trump’s final campaign events of the election cycle – were pulled at the eleventh hour by Republican officials who announced the events would be replaced with telerallies.

Now the rallies are back on, sources told CNN and the Associated Press, citing a White House official. It follows pressure from a reporter who asked Trump if the cancelations had anything to do with his health.

“You know what the reason is? I don’t feel I have to go to Kansas,” Trump snapped at the Reuters reporter on Thursday. “I feel perfect. You are disgusting.”

The president is scheduled to hold an in-person rally Friday night in Daytona Beach, Florida, as Republicans are bracing for what could be a “brutal” Election Day for the party, according to Politico. He was previously scheduled to spend the weekend in Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach Post reported.

The Republican National Committee announced that telerallies would be held in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.

Pundits speculated about the initial decision to cancel in-person rallies in Kansas and Iowa Thursday night, with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins telling viewers, “It may have been the president’s answer that was the most revealing about what’s going on.”

Collins, who is often on the receiving end of Trump’s verbal attacks, noted that the reporter “got an irritated answer” for asking a “straightforward question,” and pointed out “it’s the president himself who has touted his own ability to maintain a busy schedule.”

Trump has been traveling the country all month to boost voter turnout among his supporters, addressing his MAGA faithful at 25 rallies. In the final week, his voice was notably strained during his 90-minute speeches.

According to CNN, the decision to cancel the final two rallies was met with relief by some Republican officials. “Thank God, he hasn’t moved the needle anywhere,” one GOP source told the network.

“Telerallies give him the opportunity to highlight his accomplishments and expand his reach across the country,” the White House said before the change of plans.

RNC chairman Joe Gruters added, “Voters across the country want to hear from President Trump before Election Day, and this 72-hour sprint will be a huge boost in the closing days.”
