By Joseph Ax Oct 21 (Reuters) - At President Donald Trump's urging, Republicans pursued an unprecedented mid-decade redistricting campaign ahead of November's midterm elections, redrawing dozens of US House of Representatives districts in an effort to preserve their narrow majority.

Beth Fuller is running in a GOP district, but says residents are worried about democracy being dismantled: “We don’t want to live in a one-party system.”

The president has claimed Democrats would admit two new states, expand the Supreme Court and end the filibuster.

President Donald Trump still has two weeks to salvage his Republican congressional majorities and defy expectations of a midterm wipeout. But all around him, aides and allies are bracing for what happens if he fails.

Political scientist Seth Masket’s new book explains how GOP establishment history and mechanics made Donald Trump’s ascent inevitable.

“Early Voting, in-person, is UNDERWAY NOW in the Great State of North Carolina,” Trump wrote. “If you have a mail-in ballot, return it immediately, and, if not, GO VOTE at the Polls RIGHT NOW, and get everyone you know to VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN IN EVERY RACE, UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT!”

The president came out in support of Senator Roger Marshall, who is facing and unexpectedly strong challenge from Democrat Adam Hamilton

The White House task force that President Donald Trump charged with uncovering evidence of election fraud hasn’t produced any. Instead, it has shifted to releasing records that his administration is using to help build a public case against officials who investigated him.

The Trump administration committed the U.S. to taking a large stake in a Venezuelan company, some of whose owners and investors are shielded from public view. The exact details of the agreement over oil fields had remained unclear — until now.

Donald Trump turned a campaign appearance in North Carolina into an unexpected celebration of his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s fitness, briefly shifting attention away from the Republican Senate candidate he had come to support.

Trump once again pushed for rebranding New Mexico to “New America,” saying the name change will push the state’s home values up.
