Former Vice President Kamala Harris laid out her political vision in Seoul on Wednesday — a vision that, rather than being a scathing assault on the Trump administration, was somewhat aligned with the MAGA playbook. Ms. Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, was in South Korea at the invitation of the Asan Institute, a prominent Seoul think tank, to deliver its annual memorial lecture. The lecture cut a broad swath, linking geopolitics and U.S. alliances to the race for primacy in global tech and the import of secure supply chains. Given the timing — less than three weeks ahead of...

Elon Musk is putting more than $276 million behind Republicans ahead of the midterms, and he's doing it without the high-profile campaign appearances that defined his support for President Trump in 2024. The world's only trillionaire is now the biggest known donor of the election cycle, including a staggering $158 million contribution to the main super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. Another $76 million is going to America PAC, which is rebuilding the massive door-knocking operation it used to help elect Trump in 2024. Musk is also directing $10 million toward a group supporting Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton....

Former President Barack Obama came out in support of Troy Jackson’s Senate bid on Thursday after the candidate’s first debate with Susan Collins. “Troy Jackson is running to be your next Senator and I’m proud to be on board. In this economy, we need a fighter like Troy, a fifth-generation logger,” said Obama. “Now we need Troy to deliver for us in the Senate, so do not sit this one out. Get out there and vote for Troy Jackson,” he added. In the 50-second video, Obama repeated the claim that Jackson used to work 80-hour weeks logging and was still...

President Trump decided to make a diesel fuel deal with Russia after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ignored half a dozen U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Axios. "Zelensky is misreading the room. By continuing to hit refineries, he is eroding the good will that he has built with Trump over the last six months," the U.S. official said. Zelensky, in an interview with Axios after the announcement, said he was blindsided by the deal, which he called "not fair and not honest" and an unwarranted gift to Putin. Ukraine's strikes on...

Voters who backed Democratic former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 are far more enthusiastic about casting ballots this November than those who supported President Donald Trump, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found, in a potential warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterm elections. The six-day poll, completed Monday, also found that men were more enthusiastic about voting and more certain to cast ballots than women, and that male voters showed signs of shifting toward Democrats. That could signal erosion in Republican support among a demographic that was a pillar of Trump's 2024 victory. Some 48% of 2024 Harris voters said...

Screwball Democrat James Talarico left Texas and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since he went missing… And, now his campaign is caught in even more lies about his disappearance! Wackadoodle Democrat James Talarico has not been seen in Texas for 11 days! Talarico went to New York to raise money from angry Robert DeNiro and Zohran Mamdani supporters and has not been seen in the Lone Star State since then.

The Pentagon has ordered U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to complete preparations for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran as President Donald Trump weighs renewed strikes that could come before November’s midterm elections, according to multiple reports Wednesday. The directive, issued several days ago, comes as the administration considers strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, energy infrastructure, and other strategic targets, although Trump has not made a final decision on whether or when to authorize another major military campaign. Axios first reported the order to CENTCOM, citing U.S. officials who said discussions about renewed operations have intensified amid the...

The Democrats’ latest anti-Trump hoax is their most nonsensical, and yet of course, their media handmaidens pretend to swallow it hook, line and sinker. The claim is that President Trump stood up at his rally in Nebraska on Monday and invited Iran to bomb LA and San Diego. He actually said the opposite, as anyone honest with ears and a functioning brain knows. He was talking about how a temporary rise in gas prices was “a small price to pay” for stopping Iran from developing nuclear missiles that could annihilate the cities of our allies in Europe and the Middle...

Will we risk our future for some cheaper gas, communism, emptying out the prisons, and cutting our children’s genitals? Is this the midterm from hell, or is this midterm election for hell? Looking at the names, the backgrounds, and the platforms of all those running in this midterm election, it seems as if hell is actively involved. Many in my discipline are saying this is the most demonically inspired election ever seen, based on the kind of people running and their obviously antichrist and anti-human platforms. These are the people who can’t and won’t even try to explain the demonic,...

Apple News allegedly failed to promote a single story about the Democratic National Committee’s financial woes among its top 20 stories over nearly nine months, according to a new analysis by the Media Research Center. The watchdog group found that none of the 78 stories it identified about the DNC’s mounting debt were promoted by Apple News from Jan. 1 through Sept. 28 — just weeks before the 2026 midterm elections. “Apple isn’t curating the news,” David Bozell, president of the MRC, said. “It’s running a high-tech protection racket for the political left.” The findings come as Democrats grapple with...

Former President Barack Obama will campaign alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit later this month, lending his support to the progressive nominee after a bruising Democratic primary exposed divisions within the party. Obama will appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 rally that will also feature other top Democratic candidates in Michigan, including Jocelyn Benson, the party’s nominee for governor. Obama is getting significantly more involved in the midterm elections, with additional campaign stops and advertisements expected to come in the closing weeks, according to plans shared first with The Associated Press. The Detroit event is a notable...

Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved: "We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON." "That's the cybersecurity of these elections." "We know that these systems are vulnerable." We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy

President Donald Trump said he doesn’t care what the polls and the “fake news” are showing: he is confident the Republicans are going to shock the world — and the Democrats, in particular — and perform much better than expected in the 2026 midterm elections. The president struck an optimistic tone while rallying for the GOP in Vandalia, Ohio on Saturday evening. He said Republicans will be just fine, as long as conservatives don’t stay at home on Election Day. “They’re in for a big surprise. It’s very simple: You gotta get out and vote. You gotta get out. You...

The midterm polls suck, and they might be right – if you believe them, we could be headed for anything from a blue tsunami to a blue wave to a blue trickle. But that’s a big if. To avoid that conclusion, you have to believe that the majority of polls, which are undeniably showing most of our key Senate candidates losing, are inaccurate. Now, this is where it gets tricky, because we want to believe in a massive polling miss. We want to believe that the polls are skewed Dem-ward. We want to believe that there are Republicans out there...

If you want to understand what’s shaping the midterm elections in November, start with voters age 50 and older. They are highly motivated, they make up a substantial share of the country’s swing vote, and they are focused on issues that affect their everyday lives, like affordability and Social Security. There’s no better state that exemplifies this than Alaska, where one of the most compelling Senate races is taking shape in the battle for control of the Senate. AARP’s new bipartisan poll of likely Alaska voters found that 87 percent of voters 50 and older rate themselves a “10” on...

Musk spent over $290 million to put Trump in the White House. He’s $640 billion richer today. Not a bad investment. Now he’s spending up to $200 million to try to keep Republicans in control of Congress. Our job: Stop Musk. Stop Trump. Elect Progressives. End Citizens United.

President Trump on Thursday said “it’s possible” the Iran war could cost him the November midterm elections by risking Republican control of the House, Senate or both. “Well, it’s possible. It should help,” Trump told reporters outside the White House before heading to a campaign rally in the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. “Because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. So when you say, ‘Is it OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?’ I would say 100 percent of the people say no, including worldwide. So, when you say it that way, it would help. If you don’t say...

This video, presented by Black Conservative Perspective, critiques the prevailing media narrative of an inevitable "Blue Wave" in the upcoming elections, arguing that internal Democratic Party divisions and surprising polling data suggest a much more competitive landscape. Key Takeaways: Challenging the Narrative: The creator disputes the idea that the GOP is facing a collapse, pointing to tight Senate races in traditionally blue states like Minnesota (where Peggy Flanagan and Michele Tafoya are effectively tied) and internal tensions within the Democratic Party in Texas and Michigan (0:00 - 3:51). Polling Skepticism: Citing CNN data, the video explores the history of poll...
