Biden and Trump to make final appeals ahead of crucial midterms

An election year that unfolded against the backdrop of economic turmoil, the elimination of federal abortion rights and broad concerns about the future of democracy is concluding with a final full day of campaigning in which leaders of both US parties will issue urgent appeals to their supporters.
President Joe Biden is holding a Monday evening rally in Maryland, where Democrats have one of their best opportunities to reclaim a Republican-held governor’s seat. The appearance is in line with his late-campaign strategy of sticking largely to Democratic strongholds rather than entering more competitive territory, where control of Congress may ultimately be decided.
