2026 Midterm Elections

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.

The Michigan retiree who "humiliated" President Donald Trump by beating his endorsed candidate even after dropping out of the race won a host of new fans Wednesday after his hand-written letter to a "Dear FEC Inspector" went viral.

Tom Smith, a retired General Motors engineer, quit his own congressional campaign and still managed to win a swing Michigan district Republican primary Tuesday with about 50.4% of the vote.

President Donald Trump is already lashing out at presumptive Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed after his apparent electoral victory in Michigan.

Trump slammed the victor and his competitor, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, in angry Truth Social Post Wednesday morning in which he argued the El-Sayed's win would actually benefit Republicans come November.

Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a startling response to the unfolding controversy surrounding Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), who has been accused of abusing his wife and daughter and later releasing a trove of private documents that may have included an image of his toddler's naked body.

“It’s part of being flawed humans," Johnson said. "We have to let those processes play out.”

In a huge win for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, Abdul El-Sayed won the nomination for Senate in Michigan on Wednesday morning.

El-Sayed, a former professor of epidemiology and director of the Detroit Health Department, is projected to defeat Congresswoman Haley Stevens, according to NBC News and CNN.

President Donald Trump issued a call to Michigan voters Wednesday to support former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in the upcoming general election following the strong performance of Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, whom the president warned had “a real shot” at defeating the Republican.

In Trump’s plea, he also predicted, without evidence, that the upcoming general election in Michigan would see a surge of “fake mail-in ballots” for El-Sayed.

Republican leaders are growing increasingly worried that allegations against two GOP House lawmakers may end up costing them in the midterm elections, Punchbowl News reported Wednesday.

Those two House GOP lawmakers are Reps. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) and Max Miller (R-OH), both of whom have faced serious allegations in recent days.

A MAGA loyalist desperate to win a seat on the U.S. Senate is undermining President Donald Trump's economic messaging with his public complaining, according to a new political analysis.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, clamoring to claim Sen. John Cornyn's soon-to-be-available seat, has made a sharp pivot in his race against Democrat state Sen. James Talarico, an MS NOW editorial argued Wednesday.

President Donald Trump's preferred congressional candidate has fallen 20 points behind a competitor who dropped out of the race, reports show.

This GOP primary underperformance Tuesday night represents a “strong signal,” some said, of how the midterm elections may pan out.

With acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s name moved to the full Senate, Republicans are counting votes to see who needs an out because they are locked in a tight election.

On MS NOW, hosts Alicia Menendez and Eugene Daniels pointed out that the GOP leadership is “gaming” out how the vote will go, and a likely pass will be given to vulnerable Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).
