Trump Promotes Reflection Pool Makeover

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Republicans and Democrats were making their final pitch to voters on Election Day eve, President Donald Trump instead was speaking far away from most of the people his party is trying to persuade. Trump was making his closing argument at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, drawing attention to an expensive, problem-plagued repair job. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance was doing more traditional campaign stops in New York and Ohio. In Michigan, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was trying to brush off concerns about a dramatic intraparty split over Israel that played out this weekend.
