Republicans are growing anxious about the November 3 midterm elections, with polls favouring Democrats, US President Donald Trump's approval ratings low and several party candidates in competitive races now calling for an end to the war with Iran.
Trump addressed the Republican Party's midterm convention two weeks ago, offering $5,000 checks and warning that the United States would become a "communist country" if Democrats win. Election officials in several states have since begun sending out mail ballots.
