Less than two weeks before the Nov 3 election, Darline Graham is running about even in the polls against Democrat Annie Andrews in a state Republicans typically win handily, another sign of the political headwinds confronting Trump's party amid high gasoline prices and the war in Iran.
Despite poll numbers showing his popularity at an all-time low, Trump has campaigned in multiple states in an effort to maintain Republican majorities in Congress.
