With four days before the midterm elections, President Trump reversed course to hold rallies in Kansas and Iowa, two red states where Republican candidates face tough challenges. In Kansas, most polls show Democratic Senate candidate Adam Hamilton leading Republican incumbent Roger Marshall. The Iowa Senate race appears a dead heat.
These outcomes threaten Republican control of the Senate, as polling suggests even white voters without college degrees have shifted away from the party by double digits. Meanwhile, Trump held a rally in Florida, and former President Bill Clinton appeared in Mississippi to support Democrat Scott Colom. In other politics news, an appeals court rejected the Trump administration's request to set aside 20,000 ballots in California, and Elon Musk donated nearly $475 million to Republican campaigns this cycle.
Pope Leo XIV also cast a mail-in ballot in Illinois.
