Why Should the GOP Win the Midterms?🤷
“Only reason at this late point why Republicans should win is to keep America ‘free’ from socialist & communist hands,” says Fisne, a paid War Notes subscriber
🗣️Even Donald Trump’s closing message today continued to spit in the face of voters who simply want someone who cares about people like them and is willing to do something about it.
Trump’s speech defending his important work fixing the Reflecting Pool was preceded by a jungle-themed caviar-fueled Halloween party at Mar-a-Largo
Trump was elected to lower prices and champion working-class voters left behind by Biden’s policies that underwrote the professional class.
The rich got richer in the past two years, and most folks feel they are further and further behind
Republicans continue to double down on Trump as a savior
🔙Let’s look back at the words of Bill O’Reilly:
April 2025: “This time next year, April fools year 2026, if the economy is wobbly and prices have not come down substantially, Democrats will win the election”
February 2026: “If the vote were held tomorrow, I think President Trump would lose a significant amount of power, however, wait till you see the next six months”
October 2026: “The Republicans are so blanking dumb they can’t put it together and therefore they may very well lose”
👀Seems like all of those are true right now — that’s not to say Democrats’ ideas will fix the country, they won’t.
Hope‼️: The New York Times found why Republicans might still win: “I would rather pay $10 a gallon for gasoline than vote for Democrats,” they quote a couple in Butler County, Ohio
Watch tonight📺: Bill O’Reilly is back with us tonight

Changing the Map🗺️
‼️Democrats now feel the South is in play — win or lose, the 2028 map is vastly different
“Raphael Warnock is ‘nauseously optimistic’ about Dem’s midterm chances,” headlines Politico
📊Nowhere is that more apparent than in South Carolina, Mississippi and Kansas — polls show nearly tied Senate races in states Trump won by double digits.
Good read📰: “Democrats Want to Prove They Can Win in the Rapidly Changing South,” headlines The New York Times
Tonight📺: South Carolina’s Democratic Senate candidate Annie Andrews
The New Democratic Party⚠️
‼️Islamists now own the Democratic Party.
Democrats would rather elect a senator who can’t condemn a Jew-hating ad, a terrorist apologist, can’t say if Israel or Iran is a bigger threat to the U.S. — than lose a Senate seat.
What Democrats are doing to Haley Stevens because she dared challenge somebody who is clearly jihadi-adjacent and hates Jews is scary.
Sen. Chuck Schumer: “This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.”
MI State Sen. Mallory McMorrow: “It’s just a sad desperate attempt to be relevant… To have Haley abandon Michiganders and her constituents is deeply, deeply sad”
Dig deep: There’s very little interest from the media in covering the substance of WHY Stevens won’t endorse El-Sayed.
Instead, it’s only about demonizing Stevens
Tweet of the day:
What happened to supporting strong women? Now, if someone doesn’t agree with them, they tear them down
Dig deeper: No one has/wants to ask El-Sayed, “What about the Jew hating ad from Rebellion PAC that is so hard for him to condemn?”
Point made:
Final words:
Look back🔙: We put this on the map at the beginning of October when I asked El-Sayed if Israel or Iran was a bigger threat to America and El-Sayed couldn’t answer my questions
Tonight📺: Mark Halperin, Larry O’Connor and Corbin Trent
At this point, all I can say is that people will get what they vote for. Looking at you, Michiganders!
Too many polls and prediction markets are misleading and confusing. My opinion is the only one worth listening to in regards to polling is Frank Luntz.
Turnout will be the determining factor and the people who keep their choices to themselves are more than we think.
Another thing that is worth noting is the early voting numbers.
Who can honestly predict which party is voting more early?
Too many personal agendas.
