The national midterm campaign has entered its last weekend before Tuesday’s vote. Reuters reported more than 49 million Americans had already cast ballots, with control of the House and Senate at stake. Candidates are making final appeals on the economy, immigration, and the direction of the country. Early-vote totals show participation, not an election result.
