One week until midterms, Trump takes campaign blitz to Texas

Key Points:

• Vice President JD Vance criticized Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, claiming he has "a lot of weird friends" and associating him with a segment of the Democratic Party that justifies violence against the U.S.
• Republican New York AG candidate Saritha Komatireddy accused incumbent Letitia James of a "crisis of confidence" in her office ahead of a hearing on her removal from the Cornell 7 case, citing her lack of prosecution experience and alleged bias.
• Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate John James vowed new leadership, blaming outgoing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for economic and educational decline during COVID-19 shutdowns and promising bipartisan cooperation to improve the state.
• Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers warned against electing El-Sayed, accusing him of wanting to represent Palestine, and advocated for a gas tax holiday and local control over data center moratoriums during a campaign stop.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson celebrated three years in office, attributing GOP successes to teamwork and predicting that Democrats' far-left shift will increase Republican voter enthusiasm in the upcoming midterms.
