2026 Midterm Elections

The stunning defeat of a MAGA incumbent endorsed by President Donald Trump just doubled down on his public humiliation, analysts said Friday.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) lost his reelection bid to Charlie Hatcher, a former dairy farmer backed by establishment Republicans, in the primary for his state's 5th Congressional District and sent shockwaves through the nation.

The Republican Party leadership has given up hoping for any help — financial or otherwise — from President Donald Trump with the midterms looming just over the horizon, according to a new report.

Assessments from polling data, economic indicators, and Trump's inner circle paint a consistent picture of his second term -- none of it good for Republicans, according to a report from Axios founders Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei.

The Bulwark investigated a "random internet stranger" fielded as a third-party candidate in a swing House seat in Michigan, and what they found was deeply suspicious.

The seat is currently occupied by GOP Rep. Tom Barrett, and to challenge him, Democrats have nominated William Lawrence, the progressive founder of the climate action group Sunrise Movement. But there's another candidate out there: Shane Dedrick of the Green Party.

Local reporters in Tennessee were turned away by staff for Rep. Andy Ogles — then their reason for doing so was exposed as a lie.

The incident went down at an event Ogles was holding at a local Head Start day care facility in Nashville.

Republicans spent much of the 2026 cycle frantically redrawing congressional maps in states they control to give themselves extra seats, at President Donald Trump's direction.

But those efforts could be gravely sabotaged, former Republican Congressman-turned-Democratic commentator Joe Walsh said on MS NOW, as major scandals rock House incumbents like Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) and put generally safe Republican seats in play anyway.

A leading Ohio conservative called out his fellow Republicans Thursday for their silence on Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), the MAGA lawmaker accused by his ex-wife of abusing her and their young daughter.

Donovan O'Neil, the head of Ohio's chapter of the Koch brothers-founded group Americans for Prosperity, accused his party members of hypocrisy as Miller, 37, continues to deny the allegations and refuses to abandon his re-election campaign.

President Donald Trump suffered an embarrassing election humiliation this week, and GOP insiders are worried another is on the way.

On Tuesday, Navy veteran Amir Hassan lost his bid to be the Republican nominee for Michigan's 8th Congressional District, losing to a candidate who suspended his campaign in July despite Trump boosting Hassan.

Rep. Max Miller's (R-OH) ex-wife and toddler child have gone into hiding amid an escalating custody battle that has made them afraid for their safety, her senator father said Thursday.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) told CNN's Jake Tapper that his daughter Emily and his granddaughter have left Ohio as the embattled congressman refuses to drop his re-election campaign — despite horrific domestic abuse allegations.

A Republican congressman's denial that he held his toddler daughter's stuffed animal "hostage" blew up in his face Thursday when a reporter unearthed records disproving his claims.

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) fired back Tuesday on X at Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), his ex-wife Emily's father, who had accused Miller on Auf. 4 of holding the blue bunny hostage during a recent custody exchange.
