“They Have Eyes”: How Trump’s Corruption Became a Top Concern for Midterm Voters
Democrats regained control of both the House and the Senate in Tuesday’s historic midterm elections, a comeback fueled largely by voter anger over high prices and the war on Iran. But surveys also found that corruption was a major concern, with 76% of voters telling a Harris poll that elected officials care more about enriching themselves than improving the economy for ordinary people.
A Chief of Staff Who ‘Will Crack Skulls’
In the days before MAGA’s midterm disaster, President Trump began complaining about his presidency. He felt stuck. The war in Iran wouldn’t end. Inflation wouldn’t subside. Little was going his way. But in the president’s mind, there was one exception: “Stephen is the only one who gets stuff done,” Trump repeatedly griped, a person close to the White House told us. “I need more people who get stuff done.
A Preposterous, Overpriced, Beautiful Disaster of a Car
The most important Cybertruck ever built is probably still parked somewhere on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago. In August 2024, Donald Trump stood on the driveway of his Palm Beach club and circled a custom version of Tesla’s notorious, angular electric truck. Wrapped in a giant photo of his bloodied face after the assassination attempt that summer, the car was a gift from the MAGA influencer Adin Ross during a livestreamed interview. “Wow, that’s an Elon!” Trump said.
Harmeet Dhillon’s Tenure of Destruction
Harmeet Dhillon is not the most notable administration official to depart after Democrats’ enormous midterm victory—that title goes to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who President Trump announced today would be replaced by Stephen Miller. But Dhillon’s short tenure shows the immense influence that Trump has had on the federal government in less than two years in power.
A Monster of His Time
The criminal trial of Russell Brand took less than four weeks, at the end of which the comedian turned spiritual influencer was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. (The jury in London declared him not guilty of three other charges, two of rape and one of attempted indecent assault.) The accounts detailed by Brand’s accusers were harrowing.
Trump Doubles Down With Miller
Introspection has never been one of Donald Trump’s more notable attributes. He never accepts blame or course-corrects; he only becomes a more distilled version of himself.
And so, faced with rejection at the ballot box on an overwhelming scale, the president responded by replacing his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, with Stephen Miller.
Technically speaking, Miller had been Wiles’s second in command, as deputy chief of staff.
Hasan Piker: Democrats Won Midterms, But Now They Have to Deliver on Voter Demands for Change
Tuesday was a historic night for progressive Democrats and, in particular, candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. Six new DSA-endorsed candidates were elected to the House, and democratic socialists won mayoral races in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Providence.
“The Democratic Socialists of America had a phenomenal night, and this movement is only going to continue to grow,” says prominent leftist political commentator Hasan Piker.
National Politics Will Never Be the Same: Juan González on How Latino Voters Remade the Political Map
The midterms saw a landslide of Latinos vote for Democrats. In Texas, California, Kansas and Colorado, Latinos who had voted for Republicans just two years ago voted for Democrats in large numbers, helping secure Democratic control of both the House and the Senate. Latino lawmakers will make up about a fifth of the Democratic majority in the House. And in an historic victory, the two most populous states in the country, California and Texas, will soon be led by Democratic Latino governors.
Purple Mississippi? Overcoming GOP Voter Suppression, Black Voters Power Dem Wins Across the South
Mississippi’s race for the U.S. Senate remains too close to call: Democrat Scott Colom is narrowly leading Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by nearly 2,000 votes with 96% of votes counted as of Friday morning. Donald Trump carried Mississippi by 23 points in 2024. If elected, Colom would be the first Democrat to win the state in 40 years and the first African American since 1875, during the Reconstruction era.
