DEMS/ELECTION/GOP/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump rushed around the country on Monday [11-5-18] in a final bid to drive his voters to the polls and blunt any late Democratic momentum in the battle for control of the Senate. The president kicked off the final day of the campaign with a rally in Cleveland, where he told supporters midterm elections were ‘boring’ before he took office. Imploring them to vote as if he were on the ballot Tuesday [11-6-18], he echoed the messages he’s been delivering down the homestretch: that putting Democrats in charge of Congress would put the robust economy in jeopardy and risk opening the borders to undocumented immigrants. Trump conclude his campaign sprint with back-to-back rallies in Missouri and Indiana, two states he won overwhelmingly in 2016 that are critical to Republican hopes to maintain or grow their Senate majority.”
