      Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is leading incumbent New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in the New York gubernatorial race, according to polling. In a poll released Tuesday, the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, finds Stefanik getting 43 percent support compared to Hochul’s 42 percent — a statistical tie that still gives the House Republican a slight edge… Nine percent of those surveyed said they support someone else, while 7 percent said they are “not sure.” The results mark a major reversal from just a couple of months ago, when an August Siena College poll showed Hochul with a 14-point...
    
  
  
    
    
      Eleanor Holmes Norton, a non-voting delegate representing the District of Columbia, has the “early stages of dementia,” according to a police report detailing how scammers took advantage of the oldest member of the House of Representatives. Norton, 88, was duped by multiple suspects Thursday who went to her Washington, DC, home claiming to be HVAC workers, according to an internal police report obtained by NBC News4. The swindlers charged $4,362 to the Democratic congresswoman’s credit card without performing any work. Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney was not at residence” at the time the group showed up, which was just after 3:30...
    
  
  
    
    
      President Donald Trump notched a legal victory Friday in his lawsuit against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register, and the case will now land in Iowa State Court after an appeals court sided with the president and ruled a lower court had overstepped. Trump’s legal team, which has accused the defendants of "brazen election interference" with their final 2024 Iowa presidential poll that showed him trailing Democrat Kamala Harris, originally requested the case be moved to Iowa State Court in May after the defendants "removed" the case to federal court. A federal judge denied the request...

      Some Democrats are worried in the final weeks of the election.The interviewer asked each candidate a simple question: Would you fight for the right of New Jerseyans to pump their own gas?Republican Jack Ciattarelli answered in one word: “no.” His opponent, Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill, took 53, invoking President Donald Trump’s tariffs without ever giving a clear yes or no.The exchange — which she later gave a more direct answer on — spoke to a growing worry among Democrats: That Sherrill, their only hope at holding the New Jersey governorship, is playing it too safe. Her front-runner caution — careful...

      The clip was pulled from the tail end of a May primary debate between Democratic candidates for governor. NJ Spotlight News anchor Briana Vannozzi asked the candidates whether parents should have the right to opt their children out of LGBTQ-related content, similar to how students can be removed from sex ed-related curriculum. “I believe that parents have the right to oversee their children’s education,” Sherrill said. “I would push an LGBTQ education into our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this is not an area where they should be opting out, because...

      Virginia’s attorney general race has suddenly swung toward the Republicans following an explosive scandal involving Democrat nominee Jay Jones.

Miyares has support from close to 49% of likely Virginia voters compared to Jones’ 43%. On Oct. 3, National Review published leaked text messages in which Jones fantasized to...
    
  
  
    
    
      The maximum weekly unemployment insurance (UI) benefit has increased for unemployed workers across the state. As part of the 2026 State Budget, the State invested nearly $7 billion to pay off the federal UI Trust Fund loan, and bring the fund to solvency and increase the maximum weekly benefit from $504 to $869. Governor Kathy Hochul said the increase in UI benefits comes at the same time as the GOP federal shutdown impacts 115,000 federal employees in New York, leaving them without paychecks. New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon said, “Increasing the maximum weekly unemployment insurance benefit...

      Nearly 80 percent of the equipment for staging the December 23 election in DR Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, was destroyed when a fire ripped through a warehouse, as violence flared just 10 days before the vote.

Also Thursday, a teenager was shot dead in the central Kasai region as party faithful gathered ahead of a rally by Felix Tshisekedi of the UDPS, one of the leading opposition...
    
  
  
    
    
      Governor Gavin Newsom went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, which was not the most-watched late night show Tuesday that Trump has gotten canceled, or almost canceled. "Cards on the table: You wish you were on Kimmel tonight," Colbert said, opening his interview with Governor Gavin Newsom on the Late Show Tuesday. "I wish I was on Kimmel tonight," he added. This was Newsom's first interview with Colbert since way back during the Colbert Report days, and Colbert's former mock-conservative on-air persona did not take kindly to then-Mayor Gavin Newsom and his liberal ideas. Tuesday's exchange was...
    
  
  
    
    
      In a significant legal decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned a lower court ruling that had prevented the Department of Justice, under former President Donald Trump, from accessing the state’s voter rolls. This reversal marks a critical development in the ongoing debates over voter registration and election integrity in the United States. Leading the charge in these efforts is Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who is actively working to identify and eliminate ineligible and illegal voters from state databases, a move that has sparked considerable discussion and controversy. The ruling is expected to have wide-reaching implications for election-related...
    
  
  
    
    
      The “shocking” murder of Sayreville, New Jersey, Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour does not initially appear to be politically motivated, according to Garden State Gov. Phil Murphy. Murphy told WNYC Thursday that the murder late Wednesday — in which the 30-year-old Republican was repeatedly shot in her SUV, which then crashed with her slumped over the wheel — felt “very specific.” “Unfortunately, there’s very little that is known right now,” Murphy said in his weekly sit-down with the radio show, according to NJ.com. But “it does not appear to be related to her position as an elected councilwoman in Sayreville,” he said...

      Leftists have long held no qualms about assassination against their rivals, and in Colombia, where narcoterrorism is also a problem and left-narco alliances are common, it has started up again.. But at least we have a secretary of state who is wise to what's going on. This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a high-level delegation to Bogota after a leading Colombian presidential candidate, conservative Sen. Miguel Uribe, died of his wounds in a June shooting by a criminal known as a 'sicario' or hitman who obviously had a sponsor. Rubio seems to know who that might be, though,...
    
  
  
    
    
      Two Republican losses in state senate special elections this year, first in Pennsylvania during March and then in Iowa this August, have sent tremors through conservative circles. Both seats were previously held by Republicans, both were in areas that strongly supported Donald Trump, and both slipped away despite the Democrat party enduring its worst period of public standing in decades.These results are not signals of a collapsing Republican coalition, but they are warnings against complacency.Between 2020 and 2024, Democrats faced a voter registration crisis that left their party infrastructure gutted in states across the country. In every state that tracks...
