Trump vs. Obama in the final weekend of the midterms

Continued from Front

“Lie after lie, broken prom-
ise after broken promise,
that’s what he did,” Trump
said during an outdoor rally
in Huntington, West Virginia.
The competing campaign
rallies, including Friday
evening events in Georgia
and Indiana, placed Trump
in a virtual split-screen mo-
ment with Obama and
set the stage for weekend
campaign events for both
party heavyweights.
Trump covets the Senate
seats held by Democrats
Joe Donnelly of Indiana
and Joe Manchin of West
Virginia, two states that the
president won handily in
2016. Democrats, mean-
while, could make history
by electing black gover-
nors in Florida and Georgia,
and are turning to the na-
tion’s first black president to
help make their case.
During the weekend, Trump
will head to Montana and
Florida on Saturday and
Georgia and Tennessee
on Sunday. Obama will re-
turn to the trail on Sunday,

nelly in Gary, Indiana, and President Donald Trump speaks during at a campaign rally at Huntington Tri-State Airport, Friday, Nov. 2, 2018, in Huntington, W.Va.
