He also homed in on another area where Mr. Trump has run into regular controversy — his often lacklustre responses when asked to condemn White supremacists. Mr. Sasse, in a telephone call with constituents this week obtained by The Washington Examiner, said a defeat for Mr. Trump looks “likely” and Republicans may also lose the Senate. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are to hold a final debate next Thursday. They had been scheduled to hold one this Thursday but Mr. Trump backed out after it was changed to a virtual debate following his COVID-19 diagnosis.
