With five weeks to go before the midterm elections, the races remain uncertain. Current polling shows Democrats with an advantage in several key contests, but questions remain about polling accuracy, campaign spending, redistricting and the records of individual candidates. Key Senate races in Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Texas, Iowa and Kansas remain competitive, while developments in Iran, gas prices and the broader economy could further reshape the election landscape in the final weeks.

Why are tech CEOs suddenly warning that AI could destroy humanity—while simultaneously opposing liability for the products they create? The history of election-year doomsday scares is abundant, from the 1968 population bomb to nuclear winter in 1984, climate change in 1992, Me Too in 2016, etc.“When you see a sudden epidemic, a melodrama, a hysteria, just be very careful because the odds are it will be in an election year, it'll be ginned up by a so-called left-wing expert, and when it's all over, that left-wing expert will be pretty wealthy.”Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit http://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 and for a limited time your first gift to ADF will be MATCHED by a special matching grant—while funds last Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans want to define the 2026 midterm elections by contrasting their own party with the growing number of far-left Democrats and socialists.Rep. Riley Moore, a first-term Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, told the Daily Signal that will be key to mobilizing GOP turnout and keeping control of the House. Moore joined the “Midterm Report” to share his outlook with less than seven weeks until Election Day."You have communists and Islamists running up and down the ballot here in the United States," he said. "They want to pack the Supreme Court. Obviously, they don't believe in this country as a republic. They don't believe in our foundational documents."Moore, who represents West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, won his 2024 election with more than 70% of the vote. He said the stakes extend well beyond his own reliably Republican state.Also on the program, Rob Bluey is joined by fellow Daily Signal colleagues Bradley Devlin, Senior Politics Editor, and Virginia Grace McKinnon, Congressional Reporter, to debrief the first ever Midterm Republican National Convention, and more on today’s edition of “The Midterm Report.” NEW FILM, The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy The West, presented by The Heritage Foundation, OUT NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0rwaEs5jA  Learn more about your ad choices.

The midterms are about 50 days away, and Democrats continue to search for ways to gain back control of the House and Senate. Their answer may come from the conflict in Iran. Iran is most likely planning an October surprise of their own to shock Americans and hurt Republicans in the November elections. Democrats are all for it. But will that surprise be enough to give Democrats control of Congress until the end of Trump’s second term?
