Democratic Senate-nominee Mary Peltola and her family sustained minor injuries in an Anchorage crash, delaying her campaign tour in the Alaska Senate race.

As both parties prepare for the final leg of the campaign, here are some of the most closely watched Senate races.

Both parties remain skeptical that Democrats can win Mississippi’s Senate race, but there are signs it’s competitive.

In the Michigan senate race, muddleheaded party leaders cannot see past the next election, writes Peter Savodnik. Will the voters? On Saturday, Barack Obama turned up at a high school gymnasium in Detroit to tell Michiganders to vote for Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. That was, as far as the nation’s 44th president could make out, common sense. If you believe in healthcare for all, good jobs, and hope and change—all the things Democrats supposedly believe in—well, El-Sayed was your only choice. Referring to “those at the top” opposing the would-be senator (a strange way of putting things for a former president with a 29-acre waterfront estate on Martha’s Vineyard), Obama said: “They will use division, and they may even use your name or your faith to somehow suggest that you are dangerous and less than trustworthy and less patriotic and less American than they are.”

In a climate where polls show Trump's approval cratering, Dems are optimistic about Scott Colom's chances of flipping Republican senator's seat in deep-red Mississippi.

Democrats are closing out some of the country's most competitive Senate races with a call to arms against the influence of the filthy rich. In their telling, the affordability crisis is really a corruption crisis.

DETROIT — Former President Barack Obama returned to the campaign trail Saturday evening with a message as much about the kind of Democrat Abdul el Sayed represents as about the Republican he is trying to defeat. Obama, campaigning for el Sayed in Detroit just 10 days before Election Day, acknowledged the Democratic Michigan Senate candidate […]

The purported […]

James Talarico hit back at Elon Musk's attacks and spending in a new ad by the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.

Republicans are resorting to childish taunts to defend an uncommonly dishonorable state attorney general It’s a bit like Lucy with the football. Every few years, Democrats convince themselves that a Texas Senate seat might finally switch from red to blue. On paper, it makes sense. Texas is a large and urbanizing state with an increasingly educated – and increasingly non-white – population. Other one-time Republican strongholds that have undergone similar demographic shifts have turned purple or even blueish – think Georgia, for example. The border counties along the Rio Grande valley, with their deep poverty and big Latino populations, were long thought to be fertile ground to nurture a kind of anti-Trump populism that could be converted into pro-Democratic sentiment. The state Democratic party is anemic there, but a few talented candidates have emerged. Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

Independent US Senate candidates are rising across the plains and mountains of the West, signaling rural voters’ disenchantment with the national Democratic Party even amid mounting discontent with Republican rule in Washington.

Former President Barack Obama’s Saturday appearance with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul el Sayed will be hailed as a moment of party unity, but it will also represent a changing of the guard.
