US Midterm Elections Enter Final Weekend Amid Alaska Probe and California Ballot DisputePreviousNext

As the US midterm elections approach, key Senate races in Alaska and California face legal and investigative challenges. The Trump administration is pursuing a criminal probe into Alaska's Senate race involving a candidate with a similar name to Republican Dan Sullivan, while contesting over 20,000 California mail-in ballots may reach the Supreme Court. With record early voting surpassing 51 million ballots, Republicans aim to maintain narrow majorities in Congress amid competitive contests and ongoing campaign efforts by both parties.
