Campaigning is in full swing nationwide with the Nov. 8 midterm elections just days away and control of Congress on the line.
The battle for the evenly split Senate hinges on just a handful of states — with Republicans seeing their pathway to the majority through Nevada. Incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) is locked in a toss-up race with Republican challenger Adam Laxalt. The pair held dueling campaign events Thursday to court Latino voters.
Meanwhile, Republicans need to net five seats to win back control of the House. Virigina’s 7th Congressional District is among the most competitive races in the nation as Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) tries to fend off a challenge from Yesli Vega, a Prince William County supervisor. Vega got a campaign assist on Monday from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R).
Youngkin hammered home education during his upset victory in Virginia last year. He told the Washington Examiner this week that the same playbook of kitchen-table issues will propel Republicans to the majority.
Here’s a look at scenes from the campaign trail the week of Oct. 21, captured by Washington Examiner photographer Graeme Jennings.
