U.S. Senate candidates Warren, Deaton make their Election Day closing arguments
Elizabeth Warren, the incumbent Democrat, and Kevin Deaton, the Republican challenger, made their final appeals to voters on Election Day.
Warren, who is seeking a second term, highlighted her record in the Senate, including her work on healthcare, education, and economic equality. She said she was "fighting for the people of Massachusetts" and pledged to continue to do so if reelected.
Deaton, a businessman and political newcomer, criticized Warren's record, saying she was "out of touch with the needs of ordinary Americans." He pledged to bring "common sense" to Washington and to "fight for the forgotten men and women of this country."

In her closing remarks, Warren said she was "proud of the work I've done for the people of Massachusetts." She said she had "fought for affordable healthcare, quality education, and good-paying jobs." She also pledged to continue to "fight for the values that make our country great."
Deaton, in his closing remarks, said that "Elizabeth Warren has been in Washington for too long." He said she was "out of touch with the needs of ordinary Americans." He pledged to bring "common sense" to Washington and to "fight for the forgotten men and women of this country."
