A heated midterm campaign in which candidates clashed over inflation, abortion, crime and other issues neared the finish line on Monday, with Republicans making appeals for new leadership in Congress and Democrats racing to head off large-scale losses.
In delivering their closing pitches, the candidates hewed largely to the themes they had emphasized throughout the campaign. Democrats eviscerated their GOP opponents as extremists, highlighting their opposition to abortion rights and alignment with Trump.
In Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, stopped by a canvassing event in Philadelphia on an unseasonably warm morning to thank volunteers. He spoke briefly, shook hands and posed for a few photos before staff ushered him away. Fetterman, who is still recovering from a May stroke, told supporters, “I got knocked down [from] the stroke, but we’re back up and we’re taking it all across.
In Ohio, Vance drew together his main campaign messages on inflation, crime and border security, predicting he would prevail over Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan in the Senate race there.“I think we’re going to win big,” Vance said to a cheer from the crowd. “When I think about what we’re fighting for tomorrow, it’s to ensure the American Dream survives into the next generation.”
“There’s people running for office that want to take away our rights, that want to roll back our protections,” Cortez Masto warned in Henderson, Nev. Buttigieg sounded similar notes, saying the election poses “the question of whether we who are alive today will turn out to be the generations that live to see the high watermark of rights and freedoms, after 250 years of expansion across America.
