- More than 52 million Americans have already voted.
- Close races are testing Republican prospects in several states.

## Summary

New details put Trump’s Iowa rally in the context of a wider set of close races, with Republicans facing unexpected challenges in several traditionally conservative states. The article says more than 52 million Americans have voted with two days until election day, while polling suggests Democrats could make gains in the midterms.

In Iowa, Democrat Rob Sand is ahead in the governor’s race, the Senate contest between Trump-backed Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek is close, and three of the state’s four House races are rated toss-ups. Trump is also due to hold a final rally in Kansas; in Texas, Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton appears to have removed a planned Alamo stop from his tour, while South Carolina’s Darline Graham is facing a competitive re-election bid.
