  "summary": "President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama took prominent roles on the campaign trail on Wednesday, less than a week before congressional races that could change the balance of power in Washington. Trump held a rally in Ohio to support Senator Jon Husted, while Obama rallied Democrats in Georgia for Senator Jon Ossoff.\n\nThe upcoming elections feature contests for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats. According to France 24, nonpartisan analysts generally favor the Democrats' chances of capturing a House majority, while the Senate contest is considered very close.",
