Trump held his final campaign rallies days before the November 3 midterm vote, which polls suggest Democrats are favored to win.
- Trump repeated claims at Sunday rallies in Iowa and Kansas that Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed is a "jihadist" and Muslim Brotherhood member.
- Trump said, without evidence, that Representative Ilhan Omar married her brother and had children with him.
- Haley Stevens, who lost Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, endorsed Republican candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday.
- A Harvard University forecasting tool gives Democrats a 96% chance of winning the House and 76% chance of taking the Senate.
- Stevens cited disagreement over Israel and an election ad she called antisemitic in abandoning El-Sayed, a move that angered Democratic leaders.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called Stevens' endorsement of Mike Rogers a 'shameful betrayal.'
- Trump praised the endorsement, while Nancy Pelosi condemned it and several organizations demanded Stevens' removal from the Democratic caucus.
- Polls show Abdul El-Sayed leading Rogers in Michigan's Senate race.
