Trump Rallies in Iowa for Senate Candidate Hinson and Calls on Rep. Omar to Resign
Photo: APPresident Trump held a rally in Iowa on Thursday night for Republican Senate nominee Rep. Ashley Hinson as Republicans try to boost midterm turnout. Speaking there, Trump called on Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to resign from Congress over allegations of immigration fraud. He said she used a fake name when she was sworn in. Omar used her full legal name at the swearing-in, which the Clerk of the House recognizes as a common practice. Trump also repeated a claim that Omar's first husband, the father of her children, is her brother. Omar has denied it. In an MS NOW interview the day before, she called the claim insane and said it came from an online gossip blog. Vice President JD Vance separately held a rally in Nebraska, where Democrats hope to take a Senate seat from Republicans. Hinson has told supporters that Trump contacted her by phone after she dropped her sons at school earlier this month.
Right-leaning Newsmax frames the event around Hinson walking a political tightrope, opening with her phone anecdote. Alternative-source AP uses the same anecdote but presents Hinson as an example of Republicans' midterm balancing act as Trump comes to boost turnout. Left-leaning NBC News, in live updates, leads with Trump's attacks on Omar, adding her denial and the Clerk's comment, plus Vance's Nebraska rally.
How the sides differ Right sources focus on Hinson's balancing act around Trump; left sources lead with Trump's Omar allegations and her denial; alternative sources stress Trump's turnout push.
