U.S. Senate Majority Leader Thune said that Congress may raise the debt ceiling after the midterm elections.
X account @jbsdc posted: “This is where I’m at. But we’ve never had Dems have a great midterm where they’re the out-party in an era of such high edpol. In Sept 06, Gallup found Dems tied with GOP at 48 for likely voters but up 9 with registered voters. https://t.co/6E9554c4Rz”
X account @jbsdc posted: “Looking down the road, I think this is the most important question about a good Dem midterm: what is the story they agree on for why they did well? If Dems thinks they won because of gas prices, that leads to a very different focus next year than if corruption was the reason.”
X account @jbsdc posted: “Not to be a downer, but while Dems should maximize their gains with rural voters this cycle, it’s almost certainly the case that (like in 06) we’re just renting them for a bad midterm off anger at war & inflation. They’ll return to the fold for 28 absent huge changes in policy.”
X account @brian_armstrong says the midterm elections will be held in about 5 weeks and urges voters to review candidates’ positions on cryptocurrency before voting.
NBC News’ polling average shows that Democrats lead in the 2026 midterm election survey of preferences for congressional control by 52% to 43%, ahead of Republicans; Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a low for his second term.
Trump said he still would not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons and expected the U.S. and Iran to reach an agreement after the U.S. midterm elections; no agreement has been reached yet.
