As the United States approaches the midterm elections, late campaign developments in Michigan have widened an intraparty rift, while national figures intensify their travel schedules in battleground states.
In Michigan, Democratic Representative Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers on Sunday. The endorsement follows a primary contest in August in which Representative Stevens was defeated by Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Democratic nominee for the Senate seat. The late split drew sharp criticism from national Democratic leaders, while Dr. El-Sayed dismissed the development, stating his campaign remains focused on voters.
Elsewhere on the campaign trail, President Trump traveled to Iowa and Kansas on Sunday to rally support in conservative states that have emerged as competitive Senate battlegrounds. The national Senate control remains closely contested as voters prepare to head to the polls.
