President Donald Trump said he could’ve have won the “Vietnam War in a week” when speaking to a crowd at a midterm rally in Iowa.

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico accuses Republican rival Ken Paxton of serving "billionaire megadonors" like Elon Musk, who has poured nearly half a billion dollars into elections in the 2026 cycle.

Ahead of the 2026 midterm election, Republicans in reliably red Iowa are finding themselves in a tight battle with Democrats. CNN’s Manu Raju reports that the GOP is at risk of losing three House seats and one in the Senate.

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed told CNN that comments by Rep. Haley Stevens, his former primary rival, over a controversial outside ad are not relevant to his campaign.

Olivia Rodrigo showed her support for the Democratic Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton during her Ohio concerts Thursday and Friday, wearing a “Dr. Amy Acton for Governor” T-shirt and giving Acton flowers.

The Justice Department is sending more than 1,000 election monitors to polling places in all 50 states, and the Republican National Committee, Democrats and outside groups are deploying observers too. What they document could shape challenges after the polls close, Gabe Cohen reports.

"If we lose Texas, we lose America," said Ken Paxton at a rally in Forth Worth, Texas on Saturday.

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