38 days until Election Day
Here’s what else to know:
V.P. debate rules:
Microphones will be turned on throughout Tuesday’s debate between Senator JD Vance of Ohio and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, though the moderators will have the right to switch off the microphones if needed. The hot microphones are a change from the two presidential debates this cycle. CBS News detailed the debate rules on Friday.
Trump indoors:
Secret Service security concerns are said to have prompted Mr. Trump to hold a rally in Wisconsin indoors rather than outside. As Mr. Trump has faced two assassination attempts and threats from Iran, he will hold an indoor rally in Prairie du Chien, Wis., on Saturday.
Florida and Texas:
Democrats face an uphill battle to retain control of the Senate, and the party’s Senate campaign arm has refocused its efforts on Florida and Texas races, two red states that the party sees as potential alternative battlegrounds.
Training poll watchers:
The Republican National Committee has entrusted Jack Posobiec, a conspiracy theorist, to train poll watchers to look for election fraud, a sign of how the party is using figures and fictions that were once considered out of bounds to energize its activists.
