(CNN)President Donald Trump touted "a historic night" during a rally in Kansas Saturday that came hours after the Senate confirmed Trump's second Supreme Court appointment, Brett Kavanaugh.
"I stand before you today on the heels of a tremendous victory for our nation, our people and our beloved Constitution," Trump told thousands of supporters in Topeka.
One month from November's midterm elections, Trump told his supporters that after the Kavanaugh confirmation fight, "we have been energized." He warned of the "profound stakes" of elections in which Democrats hope to ride a wave of anti-Trump fervor to congressional majorities.
"You don't hand matches to an arsonist, and you don't give power to an angry left-wing mob, and that's what they've become," he said.
Using his typical attacks over immigration, Trump cast Democrats as "the party of crime."
