Trump and Vance rally for Republicans in final midterms push; Alaska’s Murkowski backs Democrat in governor’s race - live

Key Points:

• Donald Trump is campaigning in Ohio to support Republican Senator Jon Husted, who is trailing Democrat Sherrod Brown in polls ahead of the midterm elections; simultaneously, JD Vance is campaigning in North Carolina for Republican Michael Whatley, who is also behind in the polls.
• Bill Essayli, a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, has been ruled by a federal judge as unlawfully serving without Senate confirmation, leading to his disqualification from overseeing two criminal prosecutions; the Department of Justice plans to appeal the decision.
• Robert F. Kennedy Jr., US Health Secretary, faced severe backlash for making false and Islamophobic remarks about Arabs during a campaign event in Michigan, drawing condemnation from civil rights groups and politicians for his racist statements.
• Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, fled Brazil following his election defeat and a criminal investigation, arriving in Miami with plans for US visas under the Trump administration; this move occurs amid tensions between Trump and Brazil’s left-wing incumbent, Lula.
• Former President Barack Obama is actively campaigning in key states like Georgia alongside Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms, aiming to bolster Democratic chances in tightly contested midterm races.
