Trump campaigns in Iowa, Kansas ahead of vote
Democrats seek a net gain of four seats to control the Senate as polls show tight races in traditionally Republican states.
By Sakura Ellis ·
Approximately 50 million Americans have already cast their ballots on the eve of the election.
President Donald Trump campaigned in Iowa and Kansas over the weekend to support Republican candidates in states that have historically favored his party. Both states are now considered competitive contests.
In Kansas, the Democratic challenger holds a five-point lead according to a New York Times poll. The race pits Democrat Adam Hamilton against Republican incumbent Roger Marshall. Marshall has not faced a Democrat in a U.S. Senate race in nearly a century, but the streak could end on Tuesday.
Marshall released a closing argument video on Sunday to address criticisms of his medical practices. His staff reportedly did not want the video published and expressed concern that it might hurt his campaign.
In Iowa, the race remains tight. Trump discussed the physical transformation of candidate Ashley Hinson during a speech. He stated that he knew her for a long time and noted she was previously heavier. Trump said Hinson went on a regimen to get into shape and described her current condition as perfect. He added that Hinson asked him not to mention the topic.
Democrats require a net gain of four seats to regain control of the Senate. Both parties view victories in Iowa and Kansas as valuable to that goal.
