Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court in push to sideline 20,000 California mail ballots
President Donald Trump's administration has appealed to the Supreme Court regarding disputed California mail ballots. The appeal aims to set aside about 20,000 ballots from suspected non-citizen voters. California officials argue that the list of suspects is unreliable and may include citizens. A district court previously warned that segregating these ballots could disrupt the election process. Voting has already begun in California, which is crucial for determining congressional control.

Trump admin. appeals to Supreme Court to sideline 20,000 mail ballots in California
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump's administration appealed to the Supreme Court on Monday in its push to sideline thousands of disputed California mail ballots the day before the pivotal midterm elections . The emergency appeal came after an appeals court rejected the request to set aside some 20,000 ballots from people the federal government suspects may not be citizens . The federal government says those ballots should not be counted until the voters status can be verified. California officials say the list is highly unreliable and likely includes many people who are U.S. citizens. The Republican Trump administration has prioritized identifying noncitizen voters this year, despite them being rare. A district court judge forcefully denied the Justice Department's request and warned that the demand could disenfranchise citizens in Tuesday's midterm elections to determine control of Congress. The Justice Department asked the high court for a limited injunction that would direct California to set aside the ballots while the case plays out. Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back, Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote. Voting has been underway in California, a largely Democratic state, since early October. All of the states roughly 23 million registered voters are mailed a ballot. Hundreds of thousands of ballots have already been processed. Lower courts have sided with the state, with a district judge warning that segregating ballots would wreak havoc on the midterm elections and erode trust in the democratic process. If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger, wrote U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who was nominated by President Bill Clinton, a Democrat. The Justice Department has sought to move the case along quickly, unsuccessfully asking an appeals court to intervene early. The Trump administration has racked up a series of wins in emergency appeals before the Supreme Court, but the justices previously rejected the presidents push to restrict mail ballots ahead of the midterms. ___ Follow the AP's coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court at https://apnews.com/hub/us-supreme-court .

'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.

Judge dismisses complaint against ex-FBI officials accused of lying about Hunter Biden
WASHINGTON (AP) A federal judge on Monday dismissed a criminal complaint against two former FBI officials accused of falsely downplaying their knowledge of a laptop the Justice Department says belonged to Hunter Biden. The decision by U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui followed a dramatic hearing in which he scolded prosecutors for their unorthodox maneuvers and an FBI agent who worked the case testified that he had been concerned the investigation would be seen as political. The Justice Department may still have an opportunity to pursue a grand jury indictment against the two former officials, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, whose lawyers had pressed for dismissal of the charges . But the judge's ruling nonetheless represents an unmistakable setback for the Justice Department, particularly given the difficulty it has had in persuading grand juries in the nation's capital to return indictments in politically charged prosecutions like this one. The judge's concerns about the case were apparent almost immediately, when he raised questions about why the Justice Department had charged the case through a criminal complaint which is more typically done when investigators have a pressing need to take a defendant into custody as opposed to an indictment that requires a grand jury's approval. Then, at a preliminary hearing last week, he criticized the Justice Department for filing overnight an amended complaint with an additional criminal charge straight to the docket instead of first clearing the new charge with the court something he said he had never seen before. The hearing also featured testimony from an FBI agent who worked the case, who said that the investigation had been opened hours after President Donald Trump gave an election security speech last July and that it had been mandated by FBI Director Kash Patel, who kept close watch on it. The case accused the two former FBI officials of misleading Congress in 2023 about their involvement in, and knowledge of, efforts to investigate a laptop the Justice Department says was dropped off by Hunter Biden, former President Joe Biden's son, at a Delaware computer repair shop in 2019. But it also sought to echo longstanding grievances by Trump and his Republican allies that the FBI attempted to suppress information during the 2020 presidential campaign that was seen as potentially harmful to the Biden family. Candidate Joe Biden, a Democrat, ultimately defeated Trump , the Republican incumbent, in the 2020 election. The Justice Department's case noted, for instance, how Floris and Benavides had given lawmakers in 2020 a defensive briefing that Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin have said was used to undermine their investigation into the Biden administration and link it to Russian disinformation.

Despicable betrayal: Dem Haley Stevens flips the script on Abdul, backs Trump-loyalist Mike Rogers
Which party has a better chance of winning the midterms? What the final polls say.
The 2026 midterm elections are tomorrow. So where do things stand nationwide in the race to control Congress? Which party has a better chance of, you know, winning? To get a sense of that, it helps to geek out over some cold, hard data. The usual caveats apply, of course. Polls aren't predictions; they're momentary snapshots of public opinion. And they have been wrong before . Yet time is almost up and the stakes on Nov. 3 couldn't be higher, especially for President Trump, who has enjoyed complete Republican control of Congress for the first half of his second term. Flipping the House would give Democrats the power to block the president's agenda, investigate his administration and even impeach him (again); flipping the Senate would allow them to stymie his Supreme Court nominees too. The state-by-state midterm landscape has reached its final form and the polling trends are clear. Here are the numbers on the eve of Election Day. The generic congressional ballot Every pollster asks a version of the same question: If an election for U.S. Congress were held today, which party's candidate would you vote for in your district? In fact, this particular polling prompt is so pervasive, it's known as the generic ballot (at least among politics nerds). You obviously can't divine the outcome of an entire midterm election from a single question that flattens 435 House contests into a binary choice between the Democrat and the Republican. But the generic ballot can suggest which direction voters are heading. History is helpful here, courtesy of the RealClear Politics polling average : At this point in 2022 after nearly two years of Democratic President Joe Biden and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate Republicans had a small but significant lead (2.5 percentage points) on the generic ballot. On Election Day, the GOP translated its final polling lead of 3 percentage points into nine seats enough to flip the House. At this point in 2018 with Trump as president and Republican majorities in the House and Senate Democrats were leading by an average of 7.3 points on the generic ballot. The next day, they picked up 41 seats and flipped the House. Polarization wasn't as extreme in 2014 and 2010, the two midterms under Democratic President Barack Obama; minds weren't made up quite so early. But by the eve of Election Day, voters had clearly broken against Democrats. In 2014, a Republican polling lead of 2.4 points translated into a net gain of 13 seats in the House; in 2010, those numbers were 8.7 points and 63 seats, respectively. So what does that mean for 2026? Historically speaking, a president's party almost always loses seats when voters return to the polls to judge his first two years in office. Sometimes, the backlash is so pervasive that the president's party loses pretty much every close-ish contest a phenomenon known as a wave election. Right now, Democrats have a wave-sized lead on the generic ballot nearly 9 percentage points , on average. And that margin has held steady over the last month. Democrats might not reprise 2018 and flip 41 House seats again in November, in part because red-state Republican lawmakers have recently redrawn congressional maps across the South to benefit their party in ways that blue-state Democrats have been unable to keep up with . But they only need to pick up three seats to win back the House. Advantage? Democrats. 12 specific Senate races National dynamics tend to define the composition of the incoming House. But Senate contests are quirkier more state-specific and personality-driven. Democrats currently hold 47 Senate seats; they'd need 51 to control 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. In the states where Dems are playing defense Michigan, Georgia, New Hampshire their leads are solidifying; meanwhile, red states such as Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Carolina seem increasingly competitive. Here are the 12 races to follow: Maine (Republican seat) Republican Susan Collins (incumbent) Democrat Troy Jackson What the latest polls say : Jackson, who replaced Graham Platner , the Democrats' previous scandal-plagued nominee, tends to lead Collins by anywhere from 2 to 7 percentage points .The final New York Times/Siena University poll shows Jackson ahead by 6 . Michigan (Democratic seat) Republican Mike Rogers (former member of Congress) Democrat Abdul El-Sayed (public-health epidemiologist and former Wayne County, Mich. health director) What the latest polls say : Eighteen polls were conducted in October. Seventeen of them showed El-Sayed in the lead, by anywhere from 1 to 9 percentage points . The final New York Times/Siena University survey gives El-Sayed an 11-point lead ; new polls from YouGov ( El-Sayed +4 ) and Research Co. ( El-Sayed +2 ) show smaller margins for the Democrat. Ohio (Republican seat) Republican Jon Husted (incumbent) Democrat Sherrod Brown (former senator) What the latest polls say : Brown has edged Husted in nearly every poll conducted since the first week of October, with margins ranging from 2 to 6 percentage points. The final New York Times/Siena University survey gives Brown a 6-point advantage . Georgia (Democratic seat) Democrat Jon Ossoff (incumbent) Republican Mike Collins (member of Congress) What the latest polls say : Ossoff holds a solid lead over Collins, with October polls putting him ahead by an average of 9 percentage points . A new Echelon Insights survey gives Ossoff a 15-point lead . North Carolina (Republican seat) Republican Michael Whatley (former Republican National Committee chairman) Democrat Roy Cooper (former governor) What the latest polls say : Cooper leads by nearly 11 points, on average . Final polls from YouGov and East Carolina University show him ahead by 11 points and 9 points, respectively. New Hampshire (Democratic seat) Republican John E. Sununu (former U.S. senator) Democrat Chris Pappas (four-term U.S. representative) What the latest polls say : Pappas and Sununu were previously trading leads in polls in the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. But Pappas appears to have opened a substantial lead average margin: 7.5 percentage points over the last month. The final University of New Hampshire survey shows him ahead by 12 . Alaska (Republican seat) Republican Dan Sullivan (incumbent) Democrat Mary Peltola (former member of Congress) What the latest polls say : Surveys conducted in October show Peltola leading by anywhere from 2 to 7 percentage points . The final New York Times/Siena Universty poll gives her a narrow 48-46% advantage . Iowa (Republican seat) Republican Ashley Hinson (member of Congress) Democrat Josh Turek (state legislator and former Paralympic athlete) What the latest polls say : Hinson and Turek have traded small leads in surveys released since Iowa's June 2 primaries . The final YouGov and New York Times/Siena University polls show Turek ahead by 1 point; GrayHouse and co/efficient polls show Hinson leading by 2. Texas (Republican seat) Republican Ken Paxton (state attorney general) Democrat James Talarico (state legislator) What the latest polls say : Nearly every poll conducted this fall has shown Talarico leading Paxton, though the margins were small between 2 and 6 points. But the Democrat seems to be closing strong: final polls from Atlas Intel and the New York Times/Siena University show him ahead by 6 and 7 points, respectively. Nebraska (Republican seat) Republican Pete Ricketts (incumbent and former governor) Independent Dan Osborn (veteran and former union leader with Democratic support) What the latest polls say : Surveys are few and far between. But the most recent nonpartisan results suggest Osborn could be competitive, and a couple of Osborn-affiliated polls show Ricketts and his independent challenger trading small leads. An Echelon Insights poll released on Tuesday shows Ricketts ahead by 1 point; a New York Times/Siena University survey released on Saturday gives Ricketts a 6-point lead. Kansas (Republican seat) Republican Roger Marshall (incumbent) Democrat Adam Hamilton (Methodist pastor who previously considered an independent run) What the latest polls say : Only one survey conducted over the last month shows Marshall ahead (by a single point). The rest (save one tie) give Hamilton a slight edge (between 1 and 5 percentage points). A new CNN poll has Hamilton up by 4 ; a new Emerson College survey puts him ahead by roughly the same amount . On Friday, the Washington Post released a poll showing Hamilton lapping Marshall by about 10 points. But the paper questioned its own results , noting that Republicans responded at much lower rates than Democrats. The final New York Times/Siena University survey shows Hamilton ahead by 5 . South Carolina (Republican seat) Republican Darline Graham (incumbent, appointed to replace her brother Lindsey Graham after his death in July) Democrat Annie Andrews (pediatrician and former U.S. House candidate) What the latest polls say : Graham held a narrow lead in most fall surveys . But it was small enough between 1 and 3 percentage points that Democrats are now targeting South Carolina as well. A partisan poll released on Friday gave Andrews a 5-point advantage; a new New York Times/Siena University poll shows the two candidates essentially tied. Advantage? Democrats. They've been consistently gaining ground over the last month, to the point where they are now favored to flip the Senate unless the polls are wrong. Trump's approval rating especially on affordability President Trump speaks at a midterm campaign rally in Greenville, N.C., on Oct. 20. KENT NISHIMURA via Getty Images To one degree or another, midterm elections are always referendums on how the president is performing. So Trump is the final piece of the puzzle. At the moment, that's unfortunate news for Republicans on Capitol Hill and those looking to join them. According to the data journalists at Silver Bulletin , 59.4% of Americans, on average, currently disapprove of how Trump is handling his job vs. 38% who approve. That puts the president's net approval rating at -21.5% near his all-time low. Here's a sampling of Trump's latest net approval numbers from a few top pollsters: New York Times/Siena University : -26% American Research Group : -38% CNN/SSRS : -35% Reuters/Ipsos : -35% Again, history can provide perspective . In late-October 2018, Trump was about 10 points underwater; Republicans went on to lose 41 seats that November. According to the New York Times , Trump has the second lowest approval rating heading into the midterms since 1946, behind only Harry Truman. George W. Bush's approval rating was higher at this point in 2006 a year in which Democrats went on to flip the House and Senate. Trump is earning even lower marks on voters' top 2026 issue: the cost of living . Shortly after he returned to office, roughly equal numbers of Americans approved and disapproved of how the president was handling inflation. But today, 70% disapprove and 25% approve. That's a 45-point gap. In comparison, Biden's approval rating on inflation was rarely underwater by more than 30 points during his presidency a period that coincided with the economic shocks of COVID-19 and ended with him choosing not to stand for reelection. Advantage? Democrats.

Campaign spending for the US Senate elections in 2026 is expected to surpass $11.6 billion. Both Democrats and Republicans are strategically investing in key battleground states to influence outcomes. The races in Texas and several Republican-held states are drawing significant financial resources from political action committees and wealthy donors. While increased spending can enhance visibility, it does not guarantee voter support or electoral success.
