A federal judge in Alaska has thrown out the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking to block certification of the state's Senate election results in this week's midterm elections if the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan loses. The Justice Department argued that Daniel J. Sullivan's name on the ballot potentially diverted voters, and the Democrat running in the race, Mary Peltola, would benefit as a result. Gleason said she could not grant the injunction that the Trump administration sought "because the United States has failed to establish the redressability prerequisite for Article III standing."

The November 2026 midterm elections are just two days away. Candidates in key races — and President Trump — are making their closing arguments to voters.

Washington — Sen. Bernie Sanders decried some of the rhetoric from Republicans in the Michigan Senate race, as the GOP has leaned in heavily on attacks on Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed's ethnicity and religion. "That level of racism, overt absolute racism, is frankly disgusting and should appall every decent American," Sanders said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan ." Sanders said, "What Cruz and Trump and Vance and others are saying is disgusting."

Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens endorsed GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday amid a rift with Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed that has come front and center in the final sprint to Election Day. "Our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away, and he's right," Stevens said in a video posted on social media Sunday. "And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today."
