Trump calls November midterms the biggest of our lifetime, blasts Dem slate

President Donald Trump put the November 3 midterms front and center Monday, telling an audience the vote is the most consequential of its kind in modern memory. He called it, in his words, the most important midterms of our lifetime.

Then he aimed straight at the other side of the aisle. Trump said the Democratic Party has nominated the most extreme and dangerous slate of candidates in American history, adding that nothing like it has come before and name-checking what he described as jihadists and Muslim Brotherhood members.

The remarks landed roughly a week out from election day, with control of Congress on the line. Trump has spent the run-up framing the stakes in sweeping terms, warning supporters that a Democratic sweep would gut the country.

That tone showed up in his other appearances Monday too. In an interview with the New York Post's Pod Force One, per Breaking The News, he threatened to veto everything if Republicans fail to hold the House, and floated that he would love a third term even while acknowledging the Constitution's limits.

Expect more to come. The outlet says additional details are still rolling in, and Trump's closing argument is likely to get louder as voters head to the polls.
