The president is campaigning in Fort Myers, Fla., this afternoon en route to the sunny environs of his Palm Beach resort.

It could be a gloomy stretch ahead with Democrats threatening to win races in historically red states. Trump rallied in Kansas and Iowa this week and added a stop in Mississippi next week — all states appear up for grabs 11 days out from Election Day.

He’ll rally today in Rep. Byron Donalds’s (R-Fla.) district, where Republican Jim Schwartzel is a heavy favorite against Democrat Victor Arias. Donalds is locked in a tough race for governor against Democrat David Jolly.

Democrats also see a slim chance of taking a Senate seat in Florida. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stumped with Angie Nixon in Tampa last week as she seeks to knock off Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), who was tapped to replace Marco Rubio when he became secretary of State.

Early voters: Before taking off for Florida, Trump told reporters that he and first lady Melania Trump would cast their ballots in Florida on Saturday.

He don’t stop: Trump will have about 24 hours to recharge at Mar-a-Lago before he’s back to the midterm grind.

He’s set to rally in Perry, Ga., on Saturday night; Port Huron, Mich., on Sunday afternoon; Corinth, Miss., on Monday; then Texas on Tuesday, with stops planned in Corpus Christi and Lubbock. He’ll hit Chillicothe, Ohio, on Wednesday.
