Trump rallies in Iowa, Kansas to maintain Republican control of US Senate

Donald Trump is due to hold rallies on Sunday in Dubuque, Iowa, and Salina, Kansas, to help Republicans retain control of the US Senate. In Iowa, Republicans are defending a key Senate seat and the governorship, while the state’s 2nd Congressional District is also competitive, with Joe Mitchell facing Lindsay James. In Kansas, Republican incumbent Senator Roger Marshall is in a close race against Democrat Adam Hamilton. The stops mark Trump’s return to campaigning after a break at Mar-a-Lago; the rallies were cancelled on Thursday and later rescheduled.

Opinion – Sonko or the arsonist’s politics: When personal ambition threatens the collective future

Ndiamé Sakho argues that the confrontation between Ousmane Sonko and Bassirou Diomaye Faye has moved beyond political rivalry and threatens the public interest and Senegal’s economy. The Finance Committee rejected the 2026 supplementary budget bill twice, first on October 23 and again on October 30, after it was referred back to the committee on October 27 at Cheikh Diba’s request.

Sakho questions why no counterproposals have emerged and says the bill’s prospects in the plenary session appear poor.
