The countdown to Election Day entered its final 100-day stretch as leaders from both parties sought to rally voters with contrasting messages on affordability, change and the future of America.
100-Day Election Countdown
On Sunday, in a post on X, Jeffries said, “We have 100 days to change America.”
He followed the message with a pledge to “make our country affordable for everyone.”
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) marked 100 days until Election Day by highlighting his statewide campaign journey, saying he had traveled thousands of miles and met voters across Illinois.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg urged Americans to use their power at the ballot box, saying the election offered “the best chance we’ve had in a long time” to create change
Johnson Frames Election As Critical Choice
House Speaker Mike Johnson said voters would face a critical decision in 100 days, framing the election as a choice between “common sense or crazy.”
He argued Republicans were delivering results for Americans while accusing Democrats of moving toward the “extreme far Left.”
Court Blocks Trump Voting Order
On Saturday, a federal appeals court had kept a block on key parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at increasing oversight of mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had rejected the administration’s request to lift the injunction, siding with Democratic-led states that argued the order exceeded presidential authority.
The order had sought to create voter eligibility lists using federal citizenship records and directed the Justice Department to investigate officials who sent mail ballots to individuals deemed ineligible.
The Trump administration had said it could seek U.S. Supreme Court review.
