President Trump called a reporter "disgusting" after being asked why he no longer plans to attend a rally in Kansas, PBS NewsHour reported.

According to PBS NewsHour, a reporter from Reuters asked the president why he no longer plans to attend a rally in Kansas on Saturday. The rally is for Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who is in a competitive reelection race, the outlet said.

The question, as summarized, concerned a change in the president's plans for a single event, a Saturday rally in Kansas. The summary does not indicate whether the question was asked in a broader setting.

The PBS NewsHour headline says the remark came when the president was questioned about not traveling to Kansas. The headline reports that the president used the word disgusting in describing the reporter.

The item was credited to the Associated Press and published on October 29, 2026. The summary does not say what else the president told reporters or whether he gave a reason for changing his plans.

The summary also does not name the reporter, give the exact wording of the question, state when the question was asked, or say whether the rally itself has been canceled.

This account relies on a single report, and the details above are limited to what the PBS NewsHour headline and summary state. The summary offers no further information on Marshall's reelection race beyond describing it as competitive.
