He did one at midnight in michigan or wisconsin, i cant remember which state, pushing all the way through. He says hes going to campaign for the gop six or seven days a week ahead of the midterms all the way to the finish line. Listen to the president. I am going to work very hard. Ill go six or seven days a week when were 60 days out and ill be campaigning for all of these great people that do have a difficult race. And we think were going to bring them over the line.
