2026 Midterm Elections

President Donald Trump's supporters are spreading a flurry of conspiracy theories about mail ballots after MAGA-aligned reality star Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayoral primary race — but he never had a chance, election data analyst Harry Enten told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday evening.

"Harry, can you tell us what the numbers actually are and what we are looking at in places like L.A.?" asked Collins.

The Los Angeles mayoral race has been solidified for November, with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass facing off against city councilwoman Nithya Raman — and MAGA-aligned reality TV star Spencer Pratt being eliminated.

The race was called on Monday evening by CNN and the Associated Press.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has threatened to sue a publication after it revealed details of his tax returns, which he had sent to them by mistake.

According to Lagniappe Daily, which broke the original story, "In a cease-and-desist letter emailed Saturday afternoon, the former Auburn coach’s attorneys demanded the article be removed, accused Lagniappe of 'unlawfully accessing' the information." The letter further "claimed it was illegally published without Tuberville’s consent, and ... it was not protected speech under the First Amendment."

With Donald Trump's endorsed candidate facing a potentially embarrassing primary Tuesday, some of the loudest voices in MAGA world are rooting for him to lose — and they're not whispering about it.

On Monday's edition of Steve Bannon's War Room, Bannon and Noel Fritsch — a conservative campaign consultant working for GOP Senate candidate Mark Lynch — gleefully torched Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the eve of South Carolina's Republican primary, warning the four-term incumbent could fall below the 50% threshold required to avoid a runoff.

With his grip on the South Carolina Republican primary suddenly less certain than anyone anticipated, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is calling in the biggest favor he has — President Donald Trump.

Graham announced Monday that Trump has agreed to join a last-minute tele-rally Monday evening ahead of Tuesday's GOP primary, urging supporters to dial in at 5:30 p.m.

Rep. Nancy Mace’s attempt to leap from the House of Representatives to the governor’s mansion in South Carolina has more difficulties than Donald Trump ignoring her and endorsing opponent Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette.

As part of a Politico interview with the controversial lawmaker, who still considers herself “MAGA” despite the president turning his back on her, one South Carolina GOP insider claimed she has enough personal baggage to give conservative voters pause.

Lawmakers fleeing the chaotic House of Representatives for the greener pastures of higher office are finding the doors are shut to them by unimpressed voters, according to a report.

Nearly 30 House members have discovered that service in Congress has become a political liability rather than an asset.

President Donald Trump is heading to Wisconsin to campaign for Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a third-term incumbent whose rural district is being squeezed by the policies he has spent two years defending.

Van Orden represents Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District, a stretch of farm country that produces more milk than most states and depends on roughly 17,000 farms to drive its broader economy. Politico reported that the region is directly impacted by Trump's tariff regime, rising fuel and fertilizer costs and trade disruptions caused by the war with Iran.

President Donald Trump is digging in on several controversial priorities despite knowing he's "paying a price among Senate Republicans" — who, multiple insiders told The Washington Post, are growing increasingly "tired of carrying that weight.”

“It’s been one self-inflicted wound after another,” a Republican strategist told the Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “Senate Republicans are tired of carrying that weight and making excuses for things they can’t make excuses for.”

Discussing the growing Republican betrayal problems Donald Trump is experiencing as he attacks his own caucus and has made it his mission to oust some of them in primaries, longtime DC insider Mark McKinnon claimed the president is not going to like what is coming.

Appearing on MS NOW with host Alex Witt, McKinnon claimed that the retribution the president has been inflicting on some of his former allies is going to be returned in spades.
