WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump plans to campaign aggressively on behalf of Republican candidates over the next six weeks, holding as many as eight rallies and 16 fundraisers by the end of September.

Trump is likely to visit states that are crucial to Republican hopes for retaining control of the U.S. Senate, including Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, and Tennessee, according to a person familiar with the president’s plans.
