Well, good evening. I'm David Rose, in for Frankie Thompson.
Tonight, we begin with a flurry of drama
and developments ahead of Tuesday's midterm elections.
Right now, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy is recovering after
his staff says the lawmaker suffered a stroke this weekend.
Senator Murphy's team says the 53-year-old felt some numbness
in his arm while attending his son's hockey game on Saturday.
Tonight, he is reportedly awake and alert
and receiving treatment at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore.
Senator Murphy, a Democrat, was served in the Senate since 2012
and is not on the ballot this election day.
Also happening now, a federal judge has tossed a lawsuit from the DOJ
that would block certification of U.S. Senate race in Alaska.
A ballot controversy there has added fuel to a fiery race
for the Senate between Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan
and Democratic challenger Mary Patola.
The controversy arose over a different Dan Sullivan appearing
on the ballot, a former teacher that has barely campaigned.
GOP leaders say the other Dan is a Democratic plant intended
to sow confusion for voters, but the court disagreed.
The DOJ says it plans to appeal today's ruling.
With just two days to go, candidates on both sides
are making their final appeal to voters.
Fox News reporter Madison Scarpino has the latest.
President Donald Trump in Iowa Sunday,
closing out the final days of the midterm elections
on the road, trying to boost Republican voter turnout.
His visit comes as polls show Democrats tied
with or leading Republicans in many key Iowa
races.
I think it's good for him to come
and see what his policies have done to a state
like Iowa.
I mean, we're uniquely hurting.
Also on the campaign trail, Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed,
who is locked in a tight race
with former GOP Congressman Mike Rogers.
But instead of the race,
El-Sayed was forced to comment on
party politics, after his former opponent, Haley Stevens,
stunned Democrats by publicly endorsing
Rogers.
At the end of the day, I actually don't think
about Haley Stevens, see what I'm saying?
I think about the, like I said,
the 9,999,998 people who are not those two, cuz you know what
I'm just less interested in the politics
of it all than I am in the policy of it all.
Stevens' endorsement came after she
was uninvited to an event with El-Sayed. When
asked why, Stevens says her decision ultimately came down
to putting country over party.
My vote for Senate is gonna be with Mike Rogers
and I will tell you why, because we
have to stand with country.
We can't stand with hate. President Trump had
this to say about the drama.
I think she was very brave doing it.
And she did it for the people of Michigan.
And I have great respect. I don't know her, I've never met her, but
I have great respect for her, I will tell you.
Up next for the president, a stop in Salina, Kansas
In Atlanta, Madison Scarpino, Fox News.
