It was all about Texas on Tuesday as President Donald Trump rallied in Corpus Christi in the afternoon before a rally in deep-red Lubbock Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeven days from now, the people of Texas are going to defeat Dumocrat, communist James Talarico,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
The lone star state has emerged as a key Senate battleground with Democrat Talarico trying to turn the state blue for the first time in over 30 years facing the Trump-backed Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s race is also surprisingly close with Democrat Gina Hinojosa trying to block Republican Gov. Greg Abbott from a fourth term in office.<\/p>\n
Timed for the president\u2019s visit to Lubbock, Talarico scheduled a competing rally in the same city at the same time.<\/p>\n
Vice President JD Vance is also hitting the trail, campaigning in a Detroit suburb on Tuesday talking up Republican Mike Rogers in the race for Senate and bashing his Democrat opponent, Abdul El Sayed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the state of Michigan refuses to turn over its Senate seat to a man who would tear down this state and tear down this country,\u201d Vance said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
El Sayed got some backup Monday night, rallying with progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Grand Rapids.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reason they are using Islamophobia against Abdul is because they have nothing to say about the real issues facing working people,\u201d Sanders said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several high-profile Democrats are also flooding swing states this week.<\/p>\n
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are both coming to Maine to rally for Democrat Troy Jackson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And on Wednesday, Georgia will be center stage as former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris rally for Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The president and vice president will stay on the trail all week hitting several mostly red states, while Vance has more stops in North Carolina and Texas.<\/p>\n
The president plans to hit Ohio, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas and Iowa.<\/p>\n
As many Americans have already cast their ballots, the Election Lab from the University of Florida estimates nearly 33 million people have already voted early nationwide.<\/p>\n
