'Messy,' 'divided' and 'scary': swing voters rate the country ahead of Election Day

NPR · CNN, CNN and Fox News report on Election Day politics, with NPR's panel of swing voters showing how shaky the Republican coalition looks heading into the midterms. NPR says only two of its 11 Swing Shift voters, all of whom have backed Donald Trump at some point, are happy with his second term, and many cite the Iran war and energy costs. In Georgia, Gerald voted a straight Republican ticket, while Wally, who gave Trump an F, chose Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms. In Pennsylvania, three of four panelists plan to back Gov. Josh Shapiro, though Stephen would still keep Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick. CNN adds that Republican Ronald Turner, voting in Bucks County, had doubts about Fitzpatrick but supported him because of his party label.

Fox News reports a separate episode in Maine: Sen. Susan Collins' Biddeford office was vandalized Monday night, the second time in a month, with red paint and the words "BLOOD on her HANDS." Collins' chief of staff Katie Brown said the staff is undeterred. Former state Sen. Troy Jackson, her Democratic opponent, denounced the vandalism, and Biddeford police are investigating, according to Collins' campaign.
