How the sides differ Left sources emphasize rising inflation as a problem for Republicans; alternative sources stress party spending in safe seats; right sources highlight GOP candidates distancing themselves from Trump.

All three reports concern the upcoming midterm elections and the challenges facing Republicans. A government report said annual US inflation reached 3.7% in September, the highest rate since spring. President Trump said Republicans face an equally hard fight to hold the House and Senate, though forecasts suggest the House contest is tougher, and the party is spending heavily to defend seats once seen as safe. Battleground Republicans such as Mike Lawler and Jen Kiggans are promoting bipartisan credentials and disagreements with Trump.
