Trump will deliver a midterm election push speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

BlockBeats reports,November 2, White House officials said that U.S. President Trump will speak at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that day, in his final formal campaign appearance before the midterm elections, aimed at helping Republicans retain control of Congress. The election is scheduled for the following day.

The Reflecting Pool is one of Trump's renovation projects this year:June 9 was reopened,July 4 was closed after being damaged during celebration events,October 29 was reopened again. Trump told reporters on Sunday that the pool had been severely damaged and now has numerous cameras installed; the pool has been “leaking badly since 1922 and is now functioning properly.” The pool was built in the 1920 s and is approximately 2030 feet long; during the renovation, its bottom was coated with an industrial-grade pool coating that Trump called “American flag blue.” Organizations including the Cultural Landscape Foundation criticized the lack of transparency in the process and sued the Department of the Interior over the paint color.

During the final push, Trump held consecutive rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday and arranged nearly 20 phone-banking events; since October 1, he has held approximately two dozen rallies in 19 states. National polls and multiple analysts still expect Republicans to suffer major losses in the 2026 midterm elections, while early voting in multiple states has already exceeded 2022 levels.
