Trump rallies in Iowa and Kansas as Republicans fight to keep Senate and House control

With Election Day two days off, President Donald Trump spent Sunday rallying supporters in Iowa and Kansas, states he has carried comfortably before but where Republicans now face serious Democratic challenges. Those contests, along with the House, put the party's congressional majorities at risk. Speaking for two hours in Dubuque, Trump predicted Republican wins across the board. More than 54 million ballots have been cast already. The stops show a party playing defense as voters, some of them past supporters, doubt the economic effects of his tariffs and the war in Iran, according to ABC News.

Democrats had their own trouble in Michigan, a seat central to their Senate hopes. Representative Haley Stevens, who lost the primary to Abdul El-Sayed, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, saying she had been disinvited from a Democratic event. Senator Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand responded by pledging unity behind El-Sayed, and Senator Bernie Sanders played down any rift.

Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican who is leaving office, said tariffs are unpopular in the Midwest and forecast an internal party debate after heavy losses. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina voiced confidence about holding the Senate and said Trump's agenda is on the ballot.
