Midterm Updates: Trump to rally Floridians, Peltola denies "tricking voters"

President Donald Trump is traveling to Daytona Beach, Florida, on Friday for a rally, having dropped weekend stops planned for Kansas and Iowa. The Republican National Committee said the change reflects a strong party position, and Trump will hold telerallies in 19 states instead. The Florida visit comes as Sen. Ashley Moody faces Democrat Angie Nixon and Rep. Byron Donalds runs for governor against David Jolly, according to CBS News.

In Alaska, Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola addressed a dispute over a ballot candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name nearly matches that of her Republican opponent, Sen. Dan Sullivan. Speaking in Juneau, she said she knew of no other candidates and had no wish to trick voters. The New York Times says Democratic operatives tied to her campaign helped recruit him, which her team and national Democrats deny. Federal prosecutors have issued fresh subpoenas, according to CBS News, and Gov. Mike Dunleavy has launched a state probe he says could affect who is seated. Peltola's campaign called that a threat to override voters.

Elsewhere, Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens will appear together in Detroit on Sunday.
