Advocates rally voters after dozens of polling sites closed in 'swing' Texas county

As Republicans touted Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens' 11th-hour endorsement of GOP Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers, Democrats downplayed its impact and pointed to the fundraising surge it generated for Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. President Donald Trump called it an "act of bravery" and that it showed "great loyalty to Michigan." GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson said, "I think Haley did a heroic and important thing for the country." But El-Sayed's campaign said it brought in $2.4 million in the hours after Stevens' endorsement, its best-ever fundraising day.

Earlier Monday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to order California election officials to set aside mail ballots from 20,000 people it alleges are noncitizens.
