Midterm elections live updates: Judge orders DOJ to halt threats to election workers

With his Kansas and Iowa rallies canceled, President Donald Trump's last in-person midterm rally before Election Day on Tuesday will take place Friday in Daytona, Florida, his home state, which he won comfortably by about 13 percentage points.

The Republican National Committee confirmed on Thursday night that planned midterm election rallies in Kansas, set for Saturday, and Iowa, set for Sunday, with Trump will no longer be happening, with the president instead "expected to participate" in a large number of tele-rallies by phone.

Eight years ago, during his first presidential term, Trump held his final midterm rally in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, the day before Election Day 2018.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul EL Sayed and his onetime primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens will make a joint campaign appearance alongside Rep. Jim Clyburn at a church in Detroit on Sunday, according to his campaign.

The two have not appeared together since the initial days after the primary.

This comes as Stevens' fiancé announced earlier this week that he would be voting for Republican Mike Rogers based on what he saw as EL-Sayed's antisemitism.

Stevens has criticized EL-Sayed as doing an insufficient job of winning over Black and Jewish members of her coalition but has maintained that she supports him.

Democratic Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola is reacting to the New York Times story that reported alleged efforts by some members of her campaign to recruit a candidate with the same name as Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan.

"This is just another distraction. It's another diversion. Every day, it's some new, you know, 'look over here' moment," Peltola said at a campaign event on Wednesday.

"This is all stuff to get subscriptions. Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska," Peltola added later.

The Times report said it relied on 12 sources, text messages and documents that allegedly showed members of Peltola's campaign, lawyers for Peltola, and senior aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) pushing to find a spoiler candidate who could potentially siphon votes from Sen. Sullivan and benefit Peltola.

Peltola's campaign said it "has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign."

The Republican National Committee confirmed Thursday that planned rallies in Kansas on Saturday Iowa on Sunday with President Donald Trump will no longer be happening, with the president instead "expected to participate" in a large number of tele-rallies by phone.

Both Iowa and Kansas are hosting competitive races for governor and Senate. Trump has rallied in person in both states in the last month.

Trump said he canceled the Kansas rally because incumbent GOP Sen. Roger Marshall is “doing very well,” and said that he would instead campaign for the senator remotely.

The president's political operation MAGA, Inc., announced Thursday night that it will host tele-rallies with Trump for candidates in more than 15 states over the coming days.
