Longtime Republican strategist Karl Rove is cautioning Democrats from being overconfident heading into Tuesday's high-profile elections taking place across several states.

Mediaite reported Monday that Rove told Fox News that even though polls show Democrats leading in the top three marquee contests of the evening — New Jersey and Virginia's gubernatorial elections and the New York City mayoral race — Republicans have reason to be hopeful in two of those three elections. He also argued that while Republicans will likely lose the gubernatorial election in reliably blue Virginia, they may capture a separate statewide seat.

Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove forecasted a tough road for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections – and a potential “major crimp” in the final two years of President Donald Trump’s second term.

The prediction came Wednesday in a Wall Street Journal editorial, where Rove, a onetime senior advisor to former President George W. Bush, wrote that “Democrats are likelier than not to take the House majority,” citing historical trends and the current slim GOP House majority.

Legendary Republican strategist Karl Rove says America is “already exhausted” of President Donald Trump only 100 days into his second term.

Rove, one of the architects of the $3 trillion Iraq War, observed in a recent Wall Street Journal essay that Trump won last year on a stated goal of lowering prices and improving the economy, but what he’s delivered is trade war, international and domestic market instability, along with a litany of unrequested objectives. Some of these unwanted ideas “concocted on the fly” include the “Department of Government Efficiency and removing fluoride from drinking water.”

“This is dangerous. What are you doing?” was one of the responses to Donald Trump after he agreed to nominate former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to be his Department of Homeland Security director.

That is according to excerpts from a new book by journalist Jonathan Karl titled, “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America,” and published by The Guardian.

When President Donald Trump was shot at during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, all he wanted to know was how it was playing on television.

In his new book, ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl said that Trump broke every single Secret Service rule for protectees. Speaking to "The View" on Tuesday, Karl said that he uncovered all of the transcripts of interviews of the agents, who told Congress that Trump fought them, refusing to stay down because he wanted to rally his supporters in the moment.

A close ally of Donald Trump, whose entreaties to the president to select a friend of his as the transportation secretary fell on deaf ears, resorted to having his team search for “dirt” on eventual pick Sean Duffy, reports The Guardian.

According to a new book coming out from ABC’s Jonathan Karl, the former reality TV personality lobbied to be tapped for the UN ambassador slot but Trump had already promised that spot to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), which later fell apart because he needed her to remain in the House.

Prominent MAGA influencer and former White House official Steve Bannon used a “coded system” to communicate with President Donald Trump and his 2024 election campaign team while serving a four-month sentence in prison, according to a new report from The Atlantic.

Bannon was convicted in 2022 of criminal contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena regarding investigations into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. He was sentenced to four months at the Federal Correctional Institute in Danbury, Connecticut.
