Hochul lost by K.O in New York Governor debate. This is Why?

OCT 14, 2026 AT 10:00 AM ET

Governor Kathy Hochul defended her affordability record during Tuesday's debate with Republican Bruce Blakeman. But New York's growing budget, expanding taxes on certain businesses and properties, and rising household expenses reveal a much bigger story about the cost of living under the state's Democratic leadership.

Elon Musk's $276 Million Republican Rescue: What Is He Fighting to Preserve?

OCT 12, 2026 AT 10:11 AM ET

Elon Musk is pouring historic sums into Republican efforts ahead of November's midterms. From border enforcement and women's sports to energy production, prescription drugs, and government spending, the Trump administration has already changed major federal policies. Now the battle for Congress will determine how much of that agenda can continue.

Trump heads to New York to boost GOP turnout —undecided Voters could get energized

OCT 9, 2026 AT 08:52 AM ET

President Trump’s decision to campaign with Bruce Blakeman in New York is being portrayed largely through one question: will Trump motivate Democrats against him? That misses another part of the political calculation. Blakeman is already performing strongly with independents, while Latino and immigrant neighborhoods that moved sharply toward Trump in 2024 remain politically unsettled. The Syracuse rally is a test of whether that coalition can be activated again.

A Ken Paxton Loss Would Reach Far Beyond Texas

OCT 7, 2026 AT 10:27 AM ET

Texas is no longer a Senate race either party can treat as automatic. Ken Paxton and James Talarico are separated by only 1-2 points in recent polling, national money is flooding the state, and the outcome will affect the balance of power in Washington. With early voting beginning October 19, the next phase will not be won on television alone. Texans should expect to see candidates, elected officials and party leaders on the ground.

Blakeman Is Still Behind. But New York Is Getting Interesting.

OCT 5, 2026 AT 02:16 PM ET

Kathy Hochul continues to lead New York’s race for governor, but Bruce Blakeman has produced several single-digit results in a state Democrats have dominated for years. The polls are inconsistent—not a straight Republican surge—but they are exposing something worth watching: New York’s argument over taxes, affordability, immigration, public safety and the increasingly progressive direction of New York City is beginning to reach far beyond the five boroughs.

Talarico said parents who don't transition their kids are "abusive "

OCT 2, 2026 AT 10:37 AM ET

James Talarico said in the Texas House hearing that denying a child’s gender identity was “abusive for sure.” In a Senate race this important, Texans deserve to hear those words clearly and decide what they mean for parental rights, family authority, and the power of government.

Texas Is Tightening — But the Polls Are Telling a More Complicated Story

SEP 25, 2026 AT 10:31 AM ET

James Talarico recently held a six-point advantage in one Texas poll. Now two likely-voter surveys put the Senate race within a single point. With Trump’s midterm convention energizing the Republican base and Election Day approaching, Ken Paxton appears to be closing ground at precisely the moment the race matters most.

Blakeman Targets Frustrated New Yorkers in Governor’s Race

SEP 18, 2026 AT 12:00 PM ET

With less than 50 days before New York chooses its next governor, Republican Bruce Blakeman is trying to turn dissatisfaction over affordability, public safety and the direction of the state into a broader coalition. Latino New Yorkers are an increasingly important part of that conversation, but current polling shows frustration with the status quo does not automatically translate into support for either party.

North Carolina: Why Michael Whatley Still Has a Path in the Senate Fight

SEP 18, 2026 AT 10:30 AM ET

Democrat Roy Cooper currently leads Republican Michael Whatley in North Carolina’s closely watched Senate race, but the numbers tell a more complicated story. Donald Trump carried the state three elections in a row, including by nearly three points in 2024, and thousands of voters remain undecided as Republicans try to reconnect Trump’s winning North Carolina coalition with the 2026 midterms.

Michigan Democrats May Have Just Made Their Senate Problem Much Harder

SEP 15, 2026 AT 02:59 PM ET

Michigan Democrats chose progressive Abdul El-Sayed by the narrowest of margins, and now they face Republican Mike Rogers in a state Donald Trump carried in 2024. El-Sayed still holds a small polling advantage, but for Democrats looking honestly at the numbers, this race is far less comfortable than it should be.

Maine’s Senate Race Will Be For Susan Collins?

SEP 15, 2026 AT 10:52 AM ET

Democrat Troy Jackson currently holds a narrow polling advantage over Republican Sen. Susan Collins, but Maine has repeatedly demonstrated that its voters do not follow simple party lines. Donald Trump carried Maine’s more rural 2nd Congressional District in 2024, while Collins has previously won statewide even when Republican presidential candidates lost. With the race separated by only a few points, turnout and ticket-splitting could once again define Maine politics.

Ohio gave Donald Trump a commanding victory in 2024 and simultaneously removed Democrat Sherrod Brown from the Senate. Two years later, Brown is attempting a comeback against Republican Sen. Jon Husted, the man appointed to JD Vance’s former seat. Brown currently holds a polling advantage, but Ohio’s recent voting history makes this one of the most consequential tests of whether the 2024 Republican coalition returns for the midterms.

A new Latino endorsement is entering New York’s governor’s race at a critical moment. La Picardía Urbana, a major Dominican-American media and cultural platform in New York, is joining other Latino voices backing Republican Bruce Blakeman as frustration over affordability, safety and the direction of the state becomes increasingly central to the final weeks of the campaign.

President Trump's unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas placed Texas at the center of the national political fight and Ken Paxton at the center of the stage. Talarico still holds a narrow advantage in current polling, but Republican money, Trump’s personal involvement and highly motivated Texas conservatives are turning the Senate race into one of the most closely watched contests in America.

Iowa gave Donald Trump a decisive 13-point victory in 2024, yet the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Joni Ernst has become one of the closest Senate contests of 2026. Republican Ashley Hinson currently leads in a major independent poll, but Democrat Josh Turek is keeping the race competitive, making turnout and Iowa’s large pool of independent voters crucial to November.
