President Trump's campaign travel plans apparently just boomeranged. After canceling rallies in Kansas and Iowa in the home stretch of the midterms, the president is now expected to hit both states Sunday, according to a White House official and a Republican operative who spoke with CNN; the AP is reporting the same. The Kansas stop had been scratched after Trump said GOP Sen. Roger Marshall was "doing really well," though recent polls suggest a tighter contest. An Iowa Republican official said they were surprised by Friday's word that the events were back on, adding, "We always welcome the president back to Iowa." The travel reversal comes a day after Trump snapped at a reporter who asked about his health and whether he was tired of the road, telling the journalist, "You look like hell."
