Democrats show early US election strength in stinging reckoning for Trump
Popular Democratic former governor Roy Cooper defeated Donald Trump's handpicked candidate for the Senate in North Carolina.
On the eve of the midterm elections, the U.S. Supreme Court swiftly rejected President Donald Trump's effort to interfere in California's mail-in ballot tally. Within just six hours and 24 minutes, the justices disbanded the administration's request to halt California from counting ballots from over 20,000 voters suspected of being non-U.S. citizens. The court provided no justification for their decision and there were no recorded disagreements among the justices.
