Paxton and Talarico are making closing appeals as early voting nears its end, while Trump turns to virtual events after a month of rallies.

  • Jeffries previewed aggressive oversight of the Trump administration, promising to remove Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth if Democrats win the majority, drawing the loudest roar during his 11-minute speech.
  • Turmoil persists in the Michigan Democratic Senate race as candidate Abdul El-Sayed split from Haley Stevens following internal criticism, while Trump plans to hold rescheduled rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday.
