Dalton manned the controls as he stepped in for Jim Schneider on this edition of the “Round-Up.”  Here’s a selection of stories he looked at from the past week:

–Republicans lost every major contest in Tuesday night’s election as it was a “clean sweep” for Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey while Zohran Mamdani became the next mayor of New York City.

–California voters approve Proposition 50, allowing the state to circumvent the independent redistricting process. 

–Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects Republicans to be laser-focused on affordability issues ahead of the 2026 mid-term elections.  

–The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York is not necessarily bad news if you’re a real estate agent in states like Florida, as interest in new homes in that state is already exploding due to his election win.

–In the Senate, bipartisan negotiations to reopen the government appear to be making limited progress.

–A federal judge in Rhode Island says that the Trump administration must fully cover food stamp benefits for tens of millions of Americans in November.

–More than 1,000 flights across the nation were canceled as the Federal Aviation Administration and airlines looked to deal with staffing shortages exacerbated by the ongoing shutdown.  

–According to a new report, American military planners have drawn up a list of targets to be attacked in Venezuela as soon as the president gives the order.

–Russia wants to provide hypersonic missiles to Venezuela amid their frayed relations with the U.S.
