Trump Rallies in Iowa and Kansas as 52 Million Vote Before Midterms

Summary
Trump returned to the campaign trail Sunday with rallies in Iowa and Kansas, trying to shore up Republican Senate seats two days before elections that will decide control of Congress.
52 million Americans have already voted — a midterm record — as Republicans defend narrow House and Senate majorities and Democrats cast the election as a referendum on Trump's agenda.
45% rural approval for Trump in October and unexpectedly tight races in Iowa, Kansas and Alaska have put several normally Republican-leaning contests into play.
Michigan added fresh turbulence when Democrat Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers over her party's Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed after a public dispute, exposing late Democratic divisions.
Alaska and California also face legal fights over ballot certification and alleged noncitizen voting, underscoring how a handful of close races could shape Trump's final two years.
