A federal judge has prohibited the Department of Justice from issuing threats toward election workers, a move that comes as former president Donald Trump prepares to host tele‑rallies from Mar‑a‑Lago with only three days left before the midterm elections.
Trump is scheduled to appear on Sunday at rallies in Iowa and Kansas, reversing an earlier decision to skip those events.
In Alaska, the top federal prosecutor confirmed on Friday that both a criminal and a civil investigation are underway into an alleged scheme involving Mary Peltola’s campaign and national Democrats, which allegedly sought to confuse voters in the Senate race by recruiting a spoiler candidate sharing a name with Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan.
In Michigan, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El‑Sayed declined to apologize to his defeated primary rival, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, for his criticism of U.S. military aid to Israel, just two days before they were set to campaign together in Detroit.
Early voting this cycle has set a record, with more than 49 million Americans having already cast ballots either in person or by mail, according to the Associated Press.
The midterms are framed as a referendum on Trump, with control of Congress at stake.
