Trump

President Donald Trump is campaigning in Mississippi as both parties make their closing arguments ahead of midterm elections in eight days. And the Mississippi Democrat that Trump wants defeated stopped by the president’s rally site, too. Senate candidate Scott Colom says he wanted to hear from the Mississippians attending Trump’s rally with Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. Trump’s campaign blitz highlights Republicans’ challenges ahead of an election that could shift power in Washington and beyond. Colom is trying to pull off an upset bid against Hyde-Smith. Elsewhere on Monday, Vice President JD Vance was in Kansas, once considered safe GOP territory. And House Democrats have announced new spending on GOP-leaning districts in Indiana and Minnesota.
