President Donald Trump held his final rally of the 2018 midterm election campaign Monday night in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, his third rally of the day and 11th in his final sprint before Election Day.
He was in the Mississippi River town to tout Missouri's Republican attorney general, Josh Hawley, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill.
But first he appeared with some of his favorite conservative commentators, radio host and Cape Girardeau native Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro.
The outcome of the midterm elections has become a referendum on Trump's presidency and is likely to alter its course.
Trump paused for about 8 minutes after a medical incident in the crowd.
As emergency workers made their way to the woman, Trump said: "Take your time. Take your time. Relax." After several minutes the audience broke into the hymn "Amazing Grace."
Resuming his speech after the supporter was taken out of the arena, Trump said of the singing, "That was beautiful."
He adds: "Hopefully she'll be OK."
Medical emergencies are common at presidential rallies, where security requires attendees to be in place for hours ahead of time.
