President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Kansas on Monday to support Republican Sen. Roger Marshall ahead of his Nov. 3 race against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton.

The rally was held in the Wichita area, according to the reports. The Daily Beast reported that Trump used the term “Shylock” while defending Marshall. The Guardian described Hamilton’s challenge to Marshall as unexpectedly strong, while PBS said Trump’s trip was part of campaign stops intended to energize Republican voters before the midterm elections.

Trump is scheduled to travel to Iowa later in the week, PBS reported.
