”The administration’s extraordinary attempt to cast doubt on the midterm elections, discount some ballots and prevent the finalization of results is entering a frenetic new phase.”

”The litigation strategy has failed so far, but appears designed to give the Justice Department more time to contest results after the election.”

“New results from The Politico Poll show that the majority of voters who backed Trump in 2024 and self-identify as MAGA think the party should move closer to the president if Republicans wipe out.”

“They’re more likely to blame GOP candidates for running weak campaigns than the president for not doing enough to help the party across the finish line.”

“But on Saturday, two days before his final rally would’ve taken place on the eve of Election Day, Paxton appeared to scrap those plans.”

“The rule applies to a swath of goods beyond drugs and is intended to collect tariffs and prevent illegal drugs from coming into the U.S. It comes as President Donald Trump has made lowering drug prices a top target in addressing soaring healthcare costs, and critics say the rule will hurt patients seeking affordable medicine.”

— Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), quoted by the Wall Street Journal, on the Ukraine war.

”Only two presidents in recent decades have defied the trend of a president’s party losing seats in midterms: Bill Clinton in 1998, and George W. Bush in 2002. They had the highest pre-midterm ratings in Wall Street Journal polling, dating to 1990, with more than 60% of voters approving of their job performance and about 30% disapproving.”

“And in 2026, the practice of creating new, last-minute PACs has exploded. Both parties are using the tactic, with Republican-linked PACs spending about twice what those connected with Democrats have disbursed.”

“Voters won’t learn who’s bankrolling many of the outside spending groups until after the election. That’s because the last financial disclosure reports due to the FEC before Election Day cover super PAC financials only up to Oct. 14, and some of these super PACs reported no income prior to that date.”

“But results this year are showing big surprises. In Brazil, Serbia and Wisconsin, elections which all polled as high as 90% for one candidate, were upset by their supposed long shots. At both Kalshi and its rival Polymarket, traders appear to have gotten it wrong on the next Israeli prime minister—and three days after the polls closed, they still can’t agree.”

“The lawsuit is the latest attempt to stop the 250-foot-tall arch, which Trump hopes to build near Arlington National Cemetery and says will commemorate the nation’s 250th birthday. The administration would like to begin construction as soon as next week.”

The same poll in Florida finds Ashley Moody (R) leading Angie Nixon (D) in the U.S. Senate race, 49% to 45%.

“Some, like Louisiana, still don’t know how to verify which low-income residents deserve to keep their health insurance because they’re enrolled in school.”

“Others, like Missouri, have no way to automatically verify who has a medical condition that prevents them from working, meaning they will have to demand doctors’ notes or other proof from thousands of enrollees.”

“And still others, like Colorado, say they’ve only been able to automatically check the health and work status of a little over half of adults who get their insurance through Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion. That means they will have to request paperwork from the remaining 175,000 people.”

— President Trump, quoted by Mediaite.

“Alaska has already been at the center of a roiling political controversy this week over how the second Dan Sullivan ended up on the state’s Senate ballot, which has sparked lawsuits, criminal investigations and threats to block certification of the election if incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan is defeated by Democrat Mary Peltola.”

“But the uproar about the Alaska Senate race could ratchet up to 11 if control of the Senate comes down to who wins in the state, one that election officials and experts say is unlike any other when it comes to voting.”

“That’s because it might take two weeks before a winner can be determined.”
