- President Donald Trump is hunkering down at his Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida on Saturday to conduct a blitz of 19 telerallies, aiming to boost struggling Republican candidates ahead of next week's election.
- At the request of the U.S. Secret Service, federal officials have deployed surface-to-air missile systems near Mar-a-Lago and the newly renamed Donald J. Trump International Airport to counter potential aerial threats such as aircraft or drones.
- Trump reinstated his previously canceled campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa, scheduling both in-person events back-to-back on Sunday.

- When asked why he canceled the rallies on Thursday, Trump snapped at a reporter: “You know what the reason is? I don’t feel I have to go to Kansas. I feel perfect. You are disgusting.”
