Lead report from Axios
What happened
President Donald Trump delivered his final pre-election speech on Monday from the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. Rather than holding a traditional campaign rally in a key state, Trump focused his remarks on the $14 million capital project and discussed the upcoming midterm elections.
Reports across the spectrum agree that President Trump gave his final pre-midterm speech on Monday from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool instead of a traditional campaign rally in a swing state.
Left-leaning outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian framed the event around administration dysfunction and a botched or chaotic renovation. Center and right-leaning outlets such as The Hill and the Washington Examiner focused more straightforwardly on the speech as his final pitch to voters and noted specific remarks, such as his joke about renaming the pool.
