US Midterms 2026: Why Trump's Republican rivals may be helping Democrats win Senate seats
As the midterm elections approach, Trump's dominance complicates the GOP's strategy for retaining the Senate majority. Candidates supported by Trump face the challenge of appealing to a broader electorate in competitive states. Despite Republican advantages, changing political dynamics and rising voter concerns could affect election outcomes. Republicans previously held a 53-47 Senate majority, defending several crucial seats.

'A despicable betrayal': Dems incensed by Haley Stevenss endorsement of Mike Rogers
On Election Day, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers will face off in what may be the marquee battle of the 2026 midterms: the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan. It's a contest that could decide which party controls the U.S. Senate. Democrats currently hold 47 Senate seats, including two independents who caucus with them. They need 51 to win back the chamber. (A 50-50 split would give Vice President JD Vance the tiebreaking vote.) Polls suggest that flipping four Republican seats is very possible , but Democrats are also playing defense in Georgia, New Hampshire and Michigan. The Great Lakes State looks like the closest of the three. Democrats are pinning their hopes on El-Sayed , an unapologetic 42-year-old progressive who's pushing policies such as Medicare for All and ending U.S. military aid to Israel; who's willing to confront his critics and his own party's establishment; and who's vying to become America's first Muslim senator. Republicans have handed the reins to Rogers , a 63-year-old former congressman who lost an extremely close Senate race to Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin two years ago, and who has since broken with President Trump on tariffs and the war in Iran. The race has been rocked by several controversies, and the biggest came Sunday, two days before the election. Rep. Haley Stevens, the Democrat El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the primary, endorsed Rogers after the two worshipped together at Perfecting Church in Detroit. Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away, Stevens said in a video. And he's right. And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. Stevens had said days earlier that she would vote for El-Sayed, and the two were due to appear together Sunday for the first time since August. That plan collapsed after she called on him to condemn an outside group's ad tying U.S. support for Israel to grocery prices. His campaign then asked her to stay away , NBC News reported. Defending her stance, Stevens told CNN on Sunday the decision was a weight off my shoulders and said she had decided to switch allegiances because El-Sayed had been getting angrier and angrier throughout the campaign. When Stevens announced her change in support for Rogers, she maintained that she was still a very proud Democrat. Michigan's Democratic Party chair, Curtis Hertel, fumed over the decision in a Sunday post on X , writing, Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future. Trump told a rally in Iowa on Sunday that he'd love Stevens to join the Republican Party and said she'd been very brave to endorse Rogers. Rep. Debbie Dingell, who helped arrange the event, told the AP before the endorsement that she had called it off. I'm the one who pulled it because it had become way too distracting, she said. I would rather not distract from the key issues of this campaign, El-Sayed said Saturday . He attended a different Detroit church Sunday with Dingell and other Democrats, and did not address the dispute there, the AP reported. Stevens's longtime chief of staff resigned after the church visit, and more staff were expected to leave, the AP reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. On Sunday, El-Sayed spoke with reporters before a unity event with other Democrats and reacted to Stevens's endorsement, saying, At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. This is a state of 10 million people who deserve a lot better from their government. I'm a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 that are not the ones you guys are talking about, El-Sayed said, referring to Stevens and Rogers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on social media on Sunday that Stevens's reversal was a despicable betrayal. Jason Turkish, Stevens's fianc, said last week that he would vote for Rogers because of El-Sayed's criticism of Israel's conduct in Gaza. Every time [El-Sayed] talks about genocide, Jews get death threats, Turkish, a Michigan lawyer and registered Democrat, claimed Oct. 28 at a Rogers campaign event . We have never seen a candidate for U.S. Senate act so recklessly toward the safety of Jews in the community as we have seen from Abdul. Further raising the stakes is the fact that Michigan couldn't be more purple, having swung to Trump in 2016, then Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, then back to Trump in 2024 always by slim margins. Here's everything you need to know about the Michigan Senate contest. Who's winning? Here's what the polls say. Twelve polls have been conducted in October. Eleven of them have shown El-Sayed with leads ranging from 1 to 7 percentage points . New surveys from both CBS Detroit and CNN give El-Sayed a 7-point lead. The only recent poll to show Rogers ahead (by 2 points) was sponsored by a group affiliated with the former congressman . All of those polls were taken before Stevens's endorsement. To close the gap on Election Day, Rogers has been reaching out to two groups who backed Stevens over El-Sayed in the primary: Black and Jewish Democrats. In August, Stevens won a majority of Michigan's large counties with significant Black populations by an average of 8.5 percentage points . She also won Detroit with more than 60% of the vote, making El-Sayed the first Michigan Democrat since 2018 to win a statewide primary without winning the state's largest city. El-Sayed shakes hands with former President Barack Obama during a campaign event on Oct. 24, 2026, in Detroit. AP Photo/Paul Sancya Some members of Michigan's Jewish community also gravitated toward Stevens because El-Sayed has called the war in Gaza a genocide and accused Democrats who refuse to do the same of lacking the courage necessary to stand up to Donald Trump. Killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil, El-Sayed told CNN in April . It's not how evil is this one versus that one. Hamas: evil. Israeli government: evil. We can say both. It remains to be seen whether Rogers's outreach will pay off; he's also targeting more reliable Republican constituencies such as the nearly 4 million Michiganders ages 50 and older. So far, polls suggest that El-Sayed's strategy trying to maximize his support among anti-establishment voters, Arab Americans and young voters has put him ahead in the polls. But the polls have overestimated El-Sayed before. In the run-up to August's primary, several surveys showed El-Sayed with a double-digit lead over Stevens. The race ended up being much closer than expected, with El-Sayed edging Stevens by less than 1 percentage point . How controversial has the race been? El-Sayed's background has also made him the target of persistent attacks from Republicans, with Trump going so far as to call him a jihadist and accuse him of being on the side of the terrorists. Vice President JD Vance recently said El-Sayed had zero attachment to the United States. El-Sayed is a U.S. citizen who was born and raised in Michigan. Rogers has claimed without evidence that El-Sayed has supported the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the Arab world's oldest and most influential Islamist groups. In a recent exchange at a town hall with a critic who asked him whether he denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed highlighted what he called the implicit suggestion in the question: the assumption that he'll have dual loyalties because of his faith. I'm not running to be a Muslim senator, he said. I'm running for the U.S. Senate and happen to be Muslim. After Trump referred to El-Sayed as Mohammed his middle name the Democrat responded in what has become his signature pugnacious style. I don't care how he pronounces my name, El-Sayed said during a rally in Grand Rapids on Oct. 25. Because he can just go on and call me 'senator' after November. I will be Senator Mohamed to you, bro. Trump watches a video of El-Sayed during a campaign rally on Oct. 25, 2026, in Port Huron, Mich. AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson Meanwhile, El-Sayed has campaigned with Hasan Piker , a Marxist streamer whom other Democrats have called antisemitic and even anti-American . If perfectly inoffensive won elections, then Donald Trump would never have been president, El-Sayed said in April when reporters questioned his choice of allies. An independent left-wing group affiliated with Piker's uncle, commentator Cenk Uygur, also recently released an ad linking U.S. support for Israel to high grocery prices. The ad shows two parents shopping for their kids' lunch items; the mom tells the dad to put a carton of eggs back on the shelf. They don't like eggs anymore? the dad asks. No, they like eggs, the mom answers. But we have to set that $7 aside for killing Palestinians. Some Democrats and Republicans have urged El-Sayed to denounce the content of the ad rather than just distancing himself from it. That has nothing to do with our campaign, El-Sayed said of the ad. It's certainly not what I want to be talking about right now. Who is El-Sayed? El-Sayed, 42, was born on Halloween 1984 in Rochester Hills, Mich. a northern suburb of Detroit. His parents were immigrants from Egypt, and his first language was Arabic. He captained his high school's wrestling, football and lacrosse teams, then continued to play club lacrosse at the University of Michigan, where he majored in biology and political science. El-Sayed went on to study medicine at Michigan, Oxford University (as a Rhodes Scholar) and Columbia University, where he received his MD. Before politics, he pursued a career in public health epidemiology as a tenure-track professor, and later led the Detroit health department. In 2017, El-Sayed, then just 32, resigned as Detroit's health director to run for governor. He said at the time he was inspired by his work on the Flint water crisis . He was endorsed by prominent progressives Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but lost the Democratic primary to Gretchen Whitmer by more than 20 percentage points. After a stint as Wayne County health director, El-Sayed decided to try again in 2026. He has since become the most prominent Democratic insurgent to channel left-wing disillusionment with politics and outrage over Israel's actions in Gaza to win his party's nomination in a state where more moderate candidates typically prevail. His argument is that even in so-called purple states such as Michigan, Democrats have a better shot at success when they pick buzzy, big-swing progressives over safe, electable incrementalists. Who is Rogers? Rogers was born in Livingston County, Mich., in 1963. He earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and sociology from Adrian College in 1985 before joining the Army. After four years of military service, Rogers joined the FBI as a special agent based in Chicago. His work with federal law enforcement focused on countering organized crime and public corruption. Rogers began his political career in 1994, when he was elected to a seat in the Michigan state legislature. He served for six years before launching his first bid for Congress. Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina campaigns for Rogers in Muskegon, Mich., on Oct. 30, 2026. AP Photo/Paul Sancya Rogers was elected to the House of Representatives in one of the closest races of the 2000 election cycle, defeating Democrat Dianne Byrum by just 111 votes . During his 14-year tenure in the House, Rogers was a key conservative voice on national security and intelligence issues. He spent four years as chairman of the powerful House Intelligence Committee, much of that time focused on what he describes as the economic and national security danger posed by China. Rogers left Congress in 2015 and quickly began a career in media. He hosted a daily syndicated radio show called Something to Think About with Mike Rogers and worked as a commentator for CNN. Rogers returned to run for the Senate in 2024. Roughly six months after that loss, he announced his plan to run again in 2026. Rogers is a conservative Republican on most issues including abortion, immigration and transgender rights but his opinion on Trump has shifted through the years. Over the past few weeks, Rogers has retreated from his early support for the president on two key issues: calling for Trump to end the tariff war with Canada and saying the conflict in Iran should also end quickly.

Severe cyclone 'Murasu' to cross Andhra coast tonight, heavy rain alert for Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 2 (IANS) Cyclone Murasu, formed over the Bay of Bengal, has intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and is projected to make landfall along the southern coast of Andhra Pradesh between midnight and 4 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Chennai Regional Meteorological Centre Director Durai. Addressing a press conference on the impending storm, Durai stated that while the primary landfall zone remains southern Andhra Pradesh, northern coastal Tamil Nadu will experience severe weather conditions. Coastal districts, including Chennai and Tiruvallur, are expected to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall as the system approaches land. Wind speeds near the core of the cyclone are expected to reach 100 to 120 km/h during landfall. Meanwhile, districts such as Chennai and Tiruvallur are likely to witness strong winds gusting up to 80 km/h, Durai warned. He added that the rain spell over Chennai will persist till Tuesday morning, with inland districts like Vellore and Nilgiris also slated for heavy showers over the next 24 hours. Despite the severe classification, officials reassured the public that Cyclone Murasu is not anticipated to cause damage on the scale witnessed during the past landfall of Cyclone Arnab. However, precautionary measures have been put in place immediately across sensitive zones. Fishermen operating along the northern Tamil Nadu coast have been strictly advised against venturing into the sea. Strong squally winds reaching speeds up to 80 km/h are projected to prevail over the northern coastal belt starting this evening, creating hazardous marine conditions. Looking ahead, the Weather Department expects wet spells to taper off into moderate rainfall across Tamil Nadu after November 7, with intermittent showers likely to continue into the second week of November. Reviewing seasonal performance, Director Durai noted that Tamil Nadu has received healthy precipitation during the ongoing Northeast Monsoon so far. The state has recorded 18 per cent excess rainfall compared to the seasonal normal, providing substantial reserves before the current severe weather system takes complete effect across the region. Local administrations remain on high alert to handle any emergency.

Andhra releases Rs 37 crore for rescue, relief as Cyclone 'Murasu' closes in
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 2 (IANS) With severe cyclonic storm Murasu approaching the Andhra Pradesh coast, with wind speeds of 100110 km per hour, the state government on Monday released Rs 37 crore for rescue and relief operations. The Revenue (Disaster Management) Department has issued orders, allocating funds to 17 districts to meet immediate expenditure towards rescue and relief operations. The government has sanctioned Rs.3 crore each for six districts, Rs.2 crore each for eight districts, and Rs 1 crore each for three districts. Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) had proposed to the government to accord permission to the Collectors and District Magistrates to utilise funds under Rule TR27 to meet emergent relief requirements such as evacuation, provision of food and temporary shelters, medicines, fuel, transportation, and restoration of essential services. The Revenue Department accepted the proposal and issued orders. Meanwhile, the APSDMA stated on Monday night that the cyclone is currently centred 80 km from Nellore, 80 km from Kavali, 110 km from Ongole and 170 km from Machilipatnam. It is expected to make landfall near Ongole between tonight (midnight) and the early hours of Tuesday. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in isolated places across the districts of West Godavari, Krishna, Guntur, Bapatla, and Palnadu. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is also expected in isolated areas within the Prakasam, Markapuram, and Nellore districts. ASDMA Managing Director Prakhar Jain has advised people to stay safely indoors. People have been urged to maintain a high state of alert and remain cautious of power lines that may have snapped due to the strong winds. Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea. According to the Visakhapatnam Cyclone Warning Centre, a storm surge of about 1.5-2 metres above the astronomical tide is very likely to inundate low-lying areas of South Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Authorities have issued danger signals to ports along the Andhra Pradesh coast. Great Danger 10 (GD-10) has been issued to Nizampatnam Port and Vadarevu Harbour. Danger signal 9 has been hoisted at Machilipatnam, while danger signal 8 has been issued for Krishnapatnam Port.

Vijayawada Airport has cancelled 12 flights while Visakhapatnam Airport (Bhogapuram) has cancelled four flights. Tirupati Airport has also cancelled three flights. This is the second cyclone in the Bay of Bengal to cross the Andhra Pradesh coast in a week. Very severe cyclonic storm Arnab crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast near Narsapur in the early hours of October 28, with the maximum sustained wind speed of 125-135 kmph gusting to 150 kmph. It claimed seven lives and caused widespread damage to crops, roads, electricity and telecom infrastructure in the coastal districts. Crops over thousands of acres were damaged in the cyclone while hundreds of electricity poles and trees were uprooted. As per preliminary estimates, the cyclone caused losses of Rs 4,600 crore.
Kim Jong Un Presses 'Danger' On Cluster-Bomb Warheads, Nukes Rush As Korean Peninsula Turns Hot
North Koreas latest weapons test has sent a chilling message. Pyongyang says it tested a cluster-bomb warhead for tactical ballistic missiles, with a claimed destructive range covering up to 13 hectares. The weapon could threaten airfields, ports, troop positions and logistics hubs. The test followed the Iron Mace exercise by the United States and South Korea, which focused on integrating US nuclear capabilities with South Korean conventional forces. North Korea says the drill was a nuclear war rehearsal and has vowed to strengthen its nuclear deterrent faster. Washington and Seoul insist their exercises are defensive. But on the Korean Peninsula, one sides deterrence is the other sides provocation. With tensions also rising over a landmine incident and possible loudspeaker broadcasts, the danger is not only North Koreas weapons. It is the cycle of fear, preparation and miscalculation surrounding them.
'Hindus And Jews Vs Muslims': Asim Munir's Twisted, New Anti-India Plot In Tehran Exposes Pak
Pakistan has discovered a dangerous weapon against India: fear. Field Marshal Asim Munir has reportedly warned Irans powerful security chief Mohsen Rezaei that India and Israel are forming an alliance against Muslims, portraying Delhi as the unmistakable antagonist of West Asia. But why is Munir dragging India into a confrontation it is not part of? In this video, we dissect the October 26 Tehran meeting with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the revival of the two-nation theory, Pakistans relentless pursuit for relevance amid economic distress and internal upheaval, and Indias expanding influence across the Gulf. We also re-examine Munirs anti-India record, from the Kashmir jugular vein remark to nuclear sabre-rattling, and the contested claims after Operation Sindoor. Is this mere rhetoric, or a calculated conspiracy to weaponise religion and endanger Indians throughout West Asia? Watch to comprehend what Pakistan wants, what India must do immediately, and why it matters.

Jammu, Nov 2: A Village Defence Group (VDG) member and his wife died of gunshot injuries under mysterious circumstances at their residence in a remote village of Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district on Monday evening, officials said.

The two were rushed to the local Primary Health Centre (PHC), where doctors declared them dead, the officials said. They said a police team has reached the spot and initiated an investigation to ascertain the exact sequence of events and determine whether the firing was accidental or deliberate.
