President Trump and members of his administration have made a series of disparaging remarks about Muslim Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. CNN's Anderson Cooper breaks it down.

With Election Day next week, President Donald Trump rallied in Lubbock for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, while state Rep. James Talarico held a campaign event just a few miles away on the same night. CNN's Arlette Saenz reports.

Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton returned to her hometown of Youngstown just one week before Election Day, after her Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign dropped an ad depicting Acton’s estranged mother calling her a liar. CNN's Lauren Fox reports.

In a stunning break from party lines, former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Phillips—a longtime Republican—is officially backing Democrat James Talarico for the US Senate. Phillips tells Erin Burnett that Ken Paxton's relentless scandals "will embarrass Texas in ways our state simply cannot afford," calling the decision to cross party lines for a moderate like Talarico a "pretty easy choice."

The FBI searched a Beverly Hills mansion Tuesday in connection to an investigation into former Rep. Eric Swalwell, according to two people familiar with the probe. The home is owned by a Swalwell donor, one of the people said. CNN's Allison Gordon reports.

Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) said he was working out in the weight room ahead of President Donald Trump’s visit to Chillicothe, Ohio. Trump has praised Husted’s physique at several campaign events ahead of the midterm elections.
