- Our desk updated its story
President Donald Trump said Democrats had nominated the most extreme and dangerous midterm candidates in U.S. history, Deutsche Welle reported, as voters prepared to decide control of Congress on Nov. 31.
Trump also said a sitting president, of either party, usually does not win the midterms, while adding that Republicans had given the cycle a strong shot, according to DW1. He described the elections as the most important in our lifetime, the report said1.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, in a post DW cited, called Trump's closing message pathetic and tied it to an "illegal war," corruption claims, and inflation1.
DW said a last-minute effort by Trump to block 20,000 California ballots was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court1. The outlet said millions of voters would weigh living costs and energy prices it linked to a U.S.-Iran war, and that oil prices had fallen as talks to end that war resumed1.
Trump said he hoped voters would consider the risk of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, DW reported1. The outlet said Democrats are expected to retake the House while the Senate contest is considered close, and that the result will shape both parties' paths toward 20281.
