## Summary

Donald Trump spent the final weekend before the US midterm elections campaigning in Florida, Iowa and Kansas, states he previously won, as Republicans sought to retain control of Congress. He urged voters to focus on his attacks on Democrats and their policies, amid frustration over rising living costs; the results could limit his power if Democrats gain control of either chamber.

Trump said Democrats would “bankrupt” families and weaken border and gun policies, while also promoting his record on trade and immigration. A Harvard forecasting tool put Democrats’ chances of taking the House at 96% and the Senate at 76%, and an NBC News poll showed registered voters favouring a Democratic-controlled Congress by 52% to 45%. In Michigan, Democratic congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, while an Alaska judge rejected an administration bid to delay certification of election results.
