President Donald Trump has vowed to campaign in 35 of the most competitive battleground races in the final sprint to November’s midterm elections. Instead, he will begin October by stumping in Alabama and Oklahoma, two of the most Republican states in the nation. Trump is sure to draw crowds to the venues. But the rallies are another sign of the uphill fight that his party faces as they pour cash into red states once considered safe, trying to shore up candidates facing an unhappy electorate that has soured on Trump and his policies.

In Nashville, Tennessee, Republican and Democratic leaders are in an ugly partisan battle over who controls the city's airport, but they agree on one thing. It should be renamed to honor the state's favorite daughter, Dolly Parton. Parton, who passed away two weeks ago, has previously declined such honors. On Friday, the state-controlled Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority unanimously approved a motion to begin the renaming process. Nashville officials say a competing city-controlled authority is also in favor. Officials say the renaming process could take a year or more. Hurdles include working with Parton’s estate to determine how they might split profits from merchandise sales, among other things.
