President Trump at a campaign rally in Florida on Wednesday accused the media of "pushing people apart" in the wake of the Pittsburgh synagagoue shooting that killed 11 people. Mr. Trump called the Democratic candidate for governor, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, calling him a "Venezuela-style" dictator who had taken "bribes."

Mr. Trump's rally in Estero, Florida, is the first in a string of campaign appearances in the days before the midterm elections. Mr. Trump is visiting Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia and Ohio before Election Day, as well as an additional rally in Florida, and two appearances each in Missouri and Indiana.

Mr. Trump has endorsed the Republican candidate for governor, Ron DeSantis, and the Republican candidate for Senate, current Governor Rick Scott, both of whom are locked in extremely tight races. DeSantis in particular has embraced Mr. Trump. Scott and DeSantis both spoke briefly at the rally. At one point, the crowd chanted "lock him up" about Gillum.

"Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum would be a disaster for Florida's economy," Mr. Trump said about DeSantis and Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, Scott's opponent.
