3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 25

Nine days before Nov. 3, both parties are intensifying campaign travel across competitive and safe states to shape the fight for House and Senate control.
Trump has ranged from Texas and Oklahoma to Ohio, Georgia, Florida and Michigan after saying he would hold five to seven rallies a week; this weekend alone he campaigned in Florida, Georgia and Michigan.
Those stops mix base-turnout states such as Oklahoma and Alabama with Senate battlegrounds including Ohio, Texas, Iowa and Michigan, where recent Cook Political Report polling showed Democrats narrowly ahead in Ohio, Texas and Iowa.
Obama and Harris are also being deployed as high-profile surrogates, with Obama appearing in Ohio and Michigan and Harris in Nevada, Mississippi and New Hampshire.
The travel map is not a formal battleground ranking, but it offers a late-stage snapshot of where each party sees the biggest need to energize voters before Election Day.
