  "summary": "New polling from The New York Times and Siena College shows Democrats holding an 11-point lead in the Michigan Senate race, though Democrats are edging out Republicans in seven competitive Senate races with most showing statistical ties, according to The Hill. In Michigan, the Democratic effort to retake the Senate faces internal fracturing. Vox reports that Rep. Haley Stevens, who previously endorsed Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, withdrew her support on Sunday to back Republican candidate Mike Rogers. Stevens cited antisemitic content in a PAC advertisement supporting El-Sayed as the reason for her shift.\n\nThe Mainichi reports that President Donald Trump held rallies in Dubuque, Iowa, and planned a visit to Salina, Kansas, as the midterm campaign enters its final days. While Trump expressed confidence that Republicans would achieve sweeping victories, the GOP is working to hold a critical Senate seat in Iowa and protect its House majority. In Kansas, Adam Hamilton is campaigning to become the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in the state in 94 years.",
