At least 40 days of travel planned for @POTUS for campaigning from Aug. 1 until #Elections2018 midterms, according to a senior @WhiteHouse official.
Officials at the @WhiteHouse express confidence @POTUS campaigning effort will defy the odds, pollsters and pundits who predict traditional losses for party in power in midterm elections.
"As many as one-third" of those attending #MAGA rallies are not Republicans, according to @WhiteHouse "The goal is to turn rally attendees into voters" for midterm.
Next month @POTUS expected to hold rallies in such states as Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota and Tennessee plus fundraising events in DC, according to officials.
In deciding who to endorse in races @POTUS is "very methodical and very systematic," according to @WhiteHouse officials.
"We are fighting history," acknowledges a senior @WhiteHouse official. "History tells us this is going to be a challenging year" for the @GOP.
