Some Republicans focus on ‘parental rights’ to close campaign; Biden adds events

Heading into the final weekend before Election Day, some Republicans are centering their message on something that lifted Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to victory last year: alarmist claims about what children are learning. Meanwhile, President Biden is planning additional campaign stops in New York and Illinois as he tries to shore up support for Democrats in a challenging midterm environment. The White House said Biden on Sunday would visit Westchester County, N.Y., which is in the district of Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), a prominent House member in a competitive race, and is key to the fortunes of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). Biden also will appear on Saturday in Joliet, Ill., and also a Pennsylvania event with John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee.
