What BBN said about it

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe White House first said the Kansas and Iowa rallies were off, then said they were back on for Sunday.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRetiring Republican Congressman Don Bacon told CNN that a big midterm loss would trigger a debate the party needs, and he said Trump polls in the mid-thirties in his Omaha-area district.
