Klamath Falls, OR— Trump plans a series of political rallies and events in the coming months to boost Republicans and brand Democrats as obstructionists to his agenda.
"In November, we will reverse a trend," Trump added, alluding to recent precedent in which the party holding the White House tends to lose congressional seats.
He said of Democrats, "They're bad at everything but they're good at sticking together," and appealed for GOP unity come November.
Trump is using the campaign appearances to mobilize his core backers by highlighting his accomplishments in office, like improving economic indicators and moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and resurrecting some of his go-to lines from the 2016 campaign.
"I don't want to cause a problem, but in the end, Mexico's gonna pay for the wall," Trump said of his signature campaign promise.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto quickly replied to Trump Tuesday, writing on his Twitter account — in English, which Pena Nieto seldom does — "NO. Mexico will NEVER pay for a wall. Not now, not ever. Sincerely, Mexico (all of us)."
Tennessee has a history of electing centrist senators and the race could be complicated by Corker's up-and-down relationship with Trump. Corker once said Trump had turned the White House into an "adult day care center" and the president tweeted that Corker "couldn't get elected dog catcher in Tennessee."
Trump offered an early endorsement of Blackburn in April, tweeting that she is "a wonderful woman who has always been there when we have needed her. Great on the Military, Border Security and Crime."
Blackburn, who served on Trump's transition team, has embraced the president and called herself a "hardcore, card-carrying Tennessee conservative."
Bredesen, who is attempting to become the first Democrat to win a Senate campaign in Tennessee since Al Gore in 1990, has aired TV ads in which he says that he's "not running against Donald Trump" and that he learned long ago to "separate the message from the messenger."
