  "account": "US President Donald Trump embarked on a final push to rally Republican voters ahead of the midterm elections, as polling stations across the United States began to open on Tuesday. In an early morning post on Truth Social, Trump denounced Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, alleging that he hates Jews, blacks, and whites, warning that El-Sayed would \"do you in!\" The president instead endorsed El-Sayed's Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, who had also received endorsement from Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens.\n\nEl-Sayed has drawn criticism for his stance on Israel, accusing the country of committing genocide in Gaza and denying its right to exist. Trump labeled El-Sayed as \"missing in action,\" questioning whether he might have been kidnapped by corrupt Democratic lawyers who are scared of facing election fraud charges. This claim was denied by Mary Peltola's campaign, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Dan J. Sullivan himself, who refuted allegations that he was recruited by Democratic operatives to confuse and divert votes from Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska's midterm race.\n\nMidterm polling commenced in Vermont at 5 a.m. and will open at varying times in different states throughout the day. In Michigan, polls opened at 7 a.m., while Alaska polls remained open until around 1 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday.",
