- Democrats face a critical test in reuniting their coalition, as the endorsement threatens party support among Black and Jewish voters in the final days before Election Day.
- Voters choose between Rogers and El-Sayed on Tuesday in a tight Michigan race that could determine which party controls the United States Senate.
