This week on the Hill: Trump, Obama lead final push before Election Day

It’s the final full week before Election Day, and candidates are ramping up their campaigns with rallies, high-profile surrogates and a last round of debates.

After a week of daily campaign events across the U.S., President Trump is set to visit Corinth, Miss., on Monday, in support of Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.). He will also be holding two rallies Tuesday in Texas, where he is expected to campaign for candidates including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and will be traveling Wednesday to Chillicothe, Ohio. 

Former President Obama is also hitting the campaign trail, headlining a “United for Georgia” rally in Atlanta next week to support Sen. Jon Ossoff’s (D-Ga.) reelection bid and urge voters to turn out on Election Day. He held two rallies on Saturday, in Ohio and Michigan.

Former Vice President Harris is slated to join the push as well. The NAACP announced that Harris will partner with the group’s president and CEO, Derrick Johnson, for civic engagement events in Milwaukee and Atlanta.

The final stretch will also feature a slate of debates. Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Pa.) and Democratic challenger Paige Cognetti are expected to face off Thursday in a debate hosted by WVIA News. In New Hampshire, Republican John Sununu and Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) are scheduled to debate Wednesday in an event hosted by WMUR-TV.

What you can expect this week:

Trump to stump for GOP candidates: The president is making a last-minute effort to boost Republican momentum as voter frustration over the economy and the Iran war take over this election cycle. 

Obama to hit up rally in Georgia: The former president will headline the event with Ossoff and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms on Wednesday.

Harris to encourage voters to turn out: Harris’s role in the 2026 midterms comes as there’s speculation she will launch a 2028 presidential bid. 

Challengers to face off in final debates: Bresnahan and Cognetti are running to represent Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, while Pappas and Sununu are vying for the open New Hampshire Senate seat.
