Coverage centers on Republican midterm strategy ahead of November's elections. The Congressional Leadership Fund, the main House Republican super PAC, is halting spending in several battleground districts and redistributing money to other races, while Democrats raise money for candidates once seen as long shots. One report says Trump called the House and Senate fights equally hard, and another says the party is spending heavily even in red areas. Left outlets add that inflation reached 3.7% in September and that Elon Musk is giving a quarter-billion dollars to Republicans. Right outlets note some battleground Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump.
