Trump Touts DC Renovations in Final Push to Voters on Midterm Election Eve
Trump discussed the Reflecting Pool’s color, landscaping and repairs before turning to the stakes of the midterms.
On the eve of Election Day, President Donald Trump deviated from the traditional campaign trail, opting instead to deliver a speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This decision drew focus to a costly and troubled repair project in a location far removed from the voters his party sought to sway. The speech marked an unusual choice for Trump, as he has typically devoted significant resources to enhancing Washington's surroundings during his second term.
Democrats, meanwhile, spent the last 24 hours before the election focusing on areas where Republicans have traditionally held sway, while attempting to mitigate the impact of internal party strife in Michigan. Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed disregarded concerns that his campaign might suffer following his former primary rival's endorsement of his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers.
