Story summary

Abdul El-Sayed’s primary rival, Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), endorsed his Republican opponent Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) on November 1, 2026, just days before Michigan's midterm elections. The endorsement came after a public feud over Israel policy and an unusual appearance at Detroit’s Perfecting Church alongside Rogers. Stevens had originally been asked to skip the event due to tensions but attended anyway, marking a significant political shift that could impact Democratic control of the U.S. Senate.

🔮 “Kathy Hochul may be the worst governor in the history of New York State and one of the worst in the nation,” roared the commander-in-chief during a tele-rally promoting the campaigns of Blakeman and two other New York Republicans, Attorney General candidate Saritha Komatireddy and upstate congressional hopeful Anthony Constantino.
🔮 Control of the US Senate could hang in limbo for weeks as America’s election fate may come down to a slow-motion vote count across Alaska’s frozen tundra.
🔮 Here are some of the Midterm nail-biters that will determine the outcome:
🔮 Lefty Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has authored research papers advising Arab women not to breed outside their ethnic group – has “admirably” handled alleged racism that’s come his way, Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed this week.
🔮 The US is poised to reenter talks with Iran in Qatar as diplomatic efforts to avert another war collide with warnings that President Trump could unleash a new round of military strikes immediately after Tuesday’s midterm elections, according to reports.
🔮 Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy for Syria, told a podcaster there “absolutely” could be a US strike on Iran this weekend — despite prior statements from the White House that there would be no such attack before the midterm elections Nov. 3.
🔮 AOC will need sustenance for the road ahead, with plans to campaign in Las Vegas later Saturday, where she holds a Get out the Early Vote Rally along with Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.).
🔮 By Friday, President Trump said publicly Zacharia wasn’t right for the role, advising that “you don’t need this” before she suddenly ended what may have been the shortest tenure of any White House press secretary.
🔮 But what remains to be seen is whether the early numbers point to a predicted overall wave of voters or merely “upper status voters who always vote anyway,” he added.
🔮 Proposition 40 would slap a one-time 5% surtax on the wealth of California billionaires and send most of the money to healthcare, to be paid beginning in 2027 in up to five annual installments.
