Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico made closing arguments Saturday in a Texas U.S. Senate race that is considered a tossup. The race has become a key measure of voters' frustration with President Donald Trump's leadership and with his loyalists in the Republican Party, the report said.
In Michigan, Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed sought to shut down talk of a conflict with his primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens. El-Sayed called the debate a distraction from issues voters care about. He faces Republican Mike Rogers in another highly competitive race.
The final stretch of the campaign comes as early voting nears its conclusion in several states. Trump has stepped back from daily rallies to speak with voters by phone.
