Political analysts were shocked Sunday after a set of polls showed Democrats having a significant advantage in multiple key midterm races.

The latest New York Times/Siena poll, the last Senate poll before Tuesday's elections, showed Democratic candidates leading in state races such as Michigan, Texas, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Alaska, and Iowa. The margins were as wide as Abdul El-Sayed's 11-point advantage over Republican candidate Mike Rogers, to Josh Turek's one-point advantage over Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) in the Hawkeye State.

The polls shocked several political analysts, who chimed in on social media. ...

A political analyst floated a disturbing theory about what American politics will look like after President Donald Trump exits.

David Pakman, host of the liberal "David Pakman Show" on YouTube, said in a new video on Sunday that there is a network of wealthy people who are debating whether America should remain a democracy post-Trump. Those circles have also been discussing Vice President JD Vance as the politician who can usher in that new era, Pakman said.

And it all might start right after the elections, he warned. ...

A strange brag President Donald Trump let out during his rally in Iowa on Sunday immediately blew up in his face.

Trump traveled to Dubuque, Iowa, to rally for Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) as she seeks higher office in the Senate against Democratic challenger Josh Turek. During his speech, Trump made an unsettling claim about his ability to "win" wars, and how he would have handled some of the biggest conflicts in U.S. history.

"I could have won Vietnam in a week," Trump said. "They dropped whatever the hell that crap is that hit the forest: Agent Orange! Instead of going after Ho Chi Minh and the other cities."...

One of the GOP's favorite Supreme Court justices has the party backed into a corner ahead of the midterm elections, according to one legal expert.

Elie Honig, a CNN legal analyst and a former federal prosecutor, argued in a new essay for the Substack "Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara" that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's decision not to retire ahead of the midterms could be a costly mistake for the GOP. The 76-year-old justice could have stepped down and let the GOP fill his seat with a much younger nominee, Honig argued. Instead, Alito's reluctance to retire sets up a likely showdown where Democrats refuse to even contemplate supporting a nominee to replace him, similar to how Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) blocked former President Barack Obama from nominating someone to fill former Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg's seat.

"Notwithstanding the potential roadblock ahead, Alito claims that politics will play no role in his retirement decision," Honig wrote....

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) let out a snippet of his impersonation of President Donald Trump during his brief rally speech in Iowa on Sunday.

Johnson traveled with Trump to Dubuque, Iowa, to rally for Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA), who is running against Democratic challenger Josh Turek in the state's Senate race. It was the 28th rally Trump has held for Republicans over the last month, even though some GOP candidates have publicly distanced themselves from the president because of his sinking approval rating.

Johnson briefly spoke to the crowd during the rally, where he told them about Trump's work ethic and what it's like to get a call from the president at 1:00 a.m. Johnson's Trump impersonation slipped out during the bit. ...

President Donald Trump seemed angered Sunday as protesters repeatedly interrupted his rally in Iowa.

Trump spoke at the Five Flags Center in Dubuque, Iowa, to rally supporters to vote for Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) as she attempts to keep the state's Senate seat red on November 3. The rally was one of two events Trump held Sunday, with the other happening in Salina, Kansas.

Multiple protesters disrupted Trump's speech in Iowa Sunday, which seemed to send the president into a frenzy. ...

A former Trump administration staffer shared a startling prediction about how Donald Trump's presidency could end in a new podcast interview Sunday.

Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump's press secretaries during his first administration, predicted during a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles that Trump could be asked to leave office after the midterms. The risk of him being asked to leave will become even greater if Trump agrees to sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping to discuss an end to Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, he added.

"If that meeting were to happen, then I would tell you that the Republican Party is completely dead," Scaramucci said. "We'd probably have to get a tombstone out, and you tell me the date that meeting and I will chisel into the tombstone."...

CNN's John Berman said Friday that he finds the White House’s sudden campaign cancellations “very, very odd,” just days before the midterm elections.

President Donald Trump canceled planned rallies for Sunday in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday and Dubuque, Iowa – where both states have competitive Senate races – and Vice President JD Vance also canceled a trip to Minnesota, another state with a competitive Senate race, where he was set to speak about fraud.

“Why is the White House pulling back from campaign trips just as we’re getting closer to Election Day?” Berman asked....

A legal expert believes that a Trump ally's dramatic escape from prosecution abroad offers a glimpse of the president's own exit strategy.

Jamie Rowen, an international law expert and professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, warned on a Saturday episode of All Rise News that President Donald Trump and his strongman allies appear to be laying plans to flee to friendly dictatorships if they lose power and face prosecution at home.

"You can imagine that if he loses an election that he thinks was rigged, even if it very clearly wasn't, and he loses by a sizable margin...that he too might face some type of criminal investigation for all of the crimes that he is currently committing," Rowen told journalist Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News....
