| The National Rifle Association (NRA) released an ad Tuesday targeting Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) for his stance on gun control and urging votes to support his opponent in November’s midterm elections. “They want to take away your Second Amendment. You see what’s going on. I don’t think you want your Second Amendment played with,” President Trump says in footage from a rally featured in the ad. “Joe Manchin always voted for Obama. And I like Joe, but Joe doesn’t vote for us.” “We must elect Patrick Morrisey, we need him,” Trump adds, endorsing the West Virginia attorney general. |

| House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told House Democrats on Tuesday to prepare for the possibility of taking control of the House. The California Democrat wrote in a post-Labor Day memo to colleagues that the party should “Be Ready for the prospect that we will be in the Majority in January” following November’s midterm elections. Pelosi said that committee ranking members and other Democratic members have started to draft legislation to follow through on the party’s agenda that it outlined in recent months. The House Democratic leader said the party has started to craft bills that would aim to cut health care costs, boost pay and crack down on corruption. Pelosi added that Democrats should prepare to act on “measures that have bipartisan support” including legislation to shield young undocumented immigrants from deportation and to prevent gun violence. |
