Midterm elections latest news: Biden looks to lift Democratic candidates in the West, Trump rallies with GOP in Iowa

President Biden is out West on Thursday, with events designed to boost vulnerable Democrats in New Mexico and California. With five days to go until the election, he appeared in Albuquerque alongside Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and others on the ballot, and will head later to San Diego to campaign with Rep. Mike Levin, who is in a tough race for reelection. Former president Donald Trump, meanwhile, plans to stage a rally in Sioux City, Iowa, with hopes of helping Sen. Charles E. Grassley, who some polls show is in a close race as he seeks an eighth term at age 89.
