President Trump Heads West Amid Senate's Pre-Midterm Recess Plans
President Trump is traveling to the West Coast for a fundraiser and an economic speech as the Senate prepares for a pre-midterm recess. The President's visit includes a Republican National Committee fundraiser in Los Angeles and an economic address in Las Vegas. This trip comes as Senate Majority Leader John Thune attempts to pass several key measures before the recess, including a continuing resolution to fund the government and a Russia sanctions bill. Trump's visit is part of his strategy to highlight his administration's achievements and contrast them with Democratic policies, particularly targeting California Governor Gavin Newsom.
