Republicans are facing a difficult period as the midterm election season enters its final stretch. Voters' dim views of the economy and the war in Iran have placed the party in a tough spot.

President Donald Trump has announced plans to travel and campaign for 35 Republicans running for re-election this fall. This effort will include supporting candidates in competitive midterm contests, specifically the Senate races in Alaska and Texas.

During a Rose Garden dinner on Wednesday, the president told battleground lawmakers that he will be heavily involved in the final 30 days of the campaign.

As the president prepares to rally voters at next week's midterm convention, some GOP lawmakers say that resentment and worries are building.
