Midterm battle intensifies as Trump, Obama rally voters

A busy and sometimes brutal weekend out on the campaign trail with the midterms now just a little more than a week away. President Trump is continuing his daily get out of the, you know, to get out on those trips with a visit to Mississippi scheduled for later today. Doug Lazader has more from Washington this morning. Good morning, Doug. Good morning. The fact the president is traveling to Mississippi today shows you just how far this battlefield has widened and each of these races could determine which party holds sway here on Capitol Hill. The sirens call for early voting is already having a big impact. One recent transplant in Michigan is enjoying some new relevance. I'm from California and Michigan is a swing state so obviously there's a little more political pull I believe. As of yesterday we saw early voting totals across the country approaching 27 million but the quest for those remaining voters had the president in Michigan on Sunday for a nail-biter of a Senate race and he went after Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. I'm here to keep a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator. And that followed former President Obama's Michigan appearance on Saturday. It feels like change is in the air. Michigan, that's what I'm feeling right now. And the Senate could go either way, but polls show that Democrats are looking better positioned now to take the House. Our analysis shows that a good night for either party is still likely to give Democrats the edge there. Those polls are wrong. They're based on faulty analysis. House Speaker Mike Johnson, whose gavel is at risk, says Republican voters are undercounted. But at this stage, no one is willing to take any chances, and the president will keep up his pace. And for the president, this is going to be one red state after another. Mississippi today, followed by Texas tomorrow. Desiree. Well, Doug, and with national voting now approaching 27 million voters, that's a lot. Are we seeing a trend here in any which way that some of these races may be going? Well, we know how many people have voted. We don't know how they voted. Those have not been tabulated or released. All right, something to keep an eye on. Here we go, November 3rd quickly approaching. Doug, thank you. Thank you.
