Paxton: "If we lose Texas, we lose America"

CNN's Ed Lavandera reports on the surprisingly close Senate race in Texas, a state Democrats haven't won in over 30 years.

Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers says he would welcome Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens at his campaign events, after Abdul El-Sayed asked her not to join him on the trail amid disagreements over her support for Israel and the war in Gaza.

Democratic Senate candidate Scott Colom says he invited former Vice President Kamala Harris to Mississippi to draw attention to rural healthcare threats. His pitch to Republican voters, he said, is a promise to deliver on issues President Donald Trump campaigned on in 2024 but hasn't accomplished.

Alaska's Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola called the election conspiracy allegations made against her "offensive" amid federal investigation. She also said she would be “happy to fire” her former campaign manager again after the ex-staffer alleged Peltola was aware of efforts to recruit a candidate with the same name as her Republican opponent to create confusion among voters.

President Donald Trump continued his attacks on Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Florida rally on Friday, urging voters to “send him back to where he came from,” despite El-Sayed being born and raised in Michigan.

帕克斯顿：“如果我们失去了德克萨斯州，我们就失去了美国。”

CNN 的 Ed Lavandera 报道了德克萨斯州参议院选举出人意料的激烈竞争，民主党人已经 30 多年没有赢得过该州的席位了。

密歇根州共和党参议员候选人迈克·罗杰斯表示，他欢迎民主党众议员海莉·史蒂文斯参加他的竞选活动。此前，由于在支持以色列和加沙战争的问题上存在分歧，阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德曾要求史蒂文斯不要与他一起参加竞选活动。

民主党参议员候选人斯科特·科洛姆表示，他邀请前副总统卡马拉·哈里斯访问密西西比州，旨在引起人们对农村医疗保健威胁的关注。他说，他向共和党选民承诺，将兑现唐纳德·特朗普总统在2024年竞选期间提出的但尚未实现的各项承诺。

阿拉斯加州民主党参议员候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉称，在联邦调查期间，针对她的选举阴谋指控“令人愤慨”。她还表示，在她前竞选经理指控她知晓有人试图招募一位与她的共和党对手同名的候选人，以混淆选民之后，她“很乐意再次解雇”这位前竞选经理。

周五，唐纳德·特朗普总统在佛罗里达州的一次集会上继续攻击密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德，敦促选民“把他送回他来的地方”，尽管埃尔-赛义德出生并成长于密歇根州。
