On Thursday, President Donald Trump traveled to Missouri to campaign for GOP Senate candidate Josh Hawley, reports Fox News.

An Overview of President Trump's Support for Hawley

During the president's time in Missouri, he urged supporters to cast their votes for Hawley in the upcoming midterm elections.

"I need everyone to show up and vote, you've got to vote for Josh. He's a star in our country. He is going to be something special. He's going to represent you for a long time and he's going to represent you well."

Trump also referred to Hawley as a "Missouri patriot" before criticizing the latter's Democrat opponent Claire McCaskill.

"Claire McCaskill promised to represent the people of Missouri. She broke that promise and joined radical Democrats in Washington. She's not representing Missouri."

Similarly to the president, Hawley also spoke about McCaskill and censured her political track record.

More on the President's Missouri Rally

Although Hawley's campaign served as the central reason for President Trump's time in Missouri, the latter also discussed other related matters. Trump addressed immigration, a subject which remains as a hot-button issue in this country. Furthermore, the president discussed the caravan which is currently making its way to the United States in the hopes of seeking asylum.

"We called up the military because we're not going to let people come into our country illegally. Not gonna happen."

Trump also stated that members of the caravan are "tough people" and "not little angels." Finally, he stressed that immigrants who wish to enter the United States must do so legally.

Midterm Elections and Potential Political Ramifications

As midterm elections get closer and closer, politicians on both sides of the aisle are campaigning for candidates within their party. President Trump has stumped for various GOP candidates, while Democrats (such as Biden, Obama, and others) have rallied for left-leaning candidates.

Both Republicans and Democrats believe that the results of the midterm elections will have lasting implications in the political arena. Many Americans on the left maintain that electing Democrats to the House and Senate is the best way to "resist" President Trump's agenda. Conversely, most conservatives overwhelmingly believe that electing Republicans to Congress is paramount to making America great again.
