No Kings Rallies Push Early Voting

No KingsNo Kings protestsseries of protests organizers held more than 3,000 events across all 50 states to encourage early voting before the November 3 midterm elections. The effort moved the group from earlier protests against President Donald Trump and his administration toward voter mobilization in a fight for control of Congress. Organizers called the events nonpartisan and said they helped eligible voters make plans, learn options and avoid long lines or polling-place closures. Some attendees urged support for Democrats, though national organizers said their instructions barred candidate endorsements or calls to “vote blue.” The White House criticized the focus on the election and urged Republicans to vote. Early voting is already underway in some states.
