Trump and Obama Campaign in Battleground States Before Midterms

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama lead competing campaign efforts ahead of the November 3 elections for the U.S. House and Senate.

United States voters will cast ballots on Tuesday, November 3, for the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama are currently leading competing campaign blitzes across critical battleground states to influence the outcome of these high-stakes races.

President Trump is defending his administration's economic policies and tariffs. In contrast, Obama is criticizing the administration's foreign policy regarding the war with Iran and the impact of tariffs on consumer costs. Nonpartisan analysts indicate that Democrats may capture a majority in the House, while the Senate remains a close contest with Republicans holding a 53–47 majority.

In Delaware, the election includes federal, statewide, and local contests. Voters will decide on the U.S. Senate seat held by Chris Coons and the U.S. House seat held by Sarah McBride, as well as races for state treasurer, state auditor, and attorney general.
