CNN's Ed Lavandera reports on the surprisingly close Senate race in Texas, a state Democrats haven't won in over 30 years.

Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom says he invited former Vice President Kamala Harris to Mississippi to draw attention to rural healthcare threats. His pitch to Republican voters, he said, is a promise to deliver on issues President Donald Trump campaigned on in 2024 but hasn't accomplished.

Alaska's Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola called the election conspiracy allegations made against her "offensive" amid federal investigation. She also said she would be “happy to fire” her former campaign manager again after the ex-staffer alleged Peltola was aware of efforts to recruit a candidate with the same name as her Republican opponent to create confusion among voters.

President Donald Trump continued his attacks on Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Florida rally on Friday, urging voters to “send him back to where he came from,” despite El-Sayed being born and raised in Michigan.
