Arizona has lost a giant. Jon Kyl was one of the most diligent and effective public servants Arizona has ever had. I was honored to follow him in the U.S. Senate, where his example of seriousness, integrity and devotion to public service was known to all. Cheryl and I send our deepest condolences to Caryll and the entire Kyl family. kjzz.org/politics/2026-09-17…

🚨BREAKING: Peggy Flanagan leads Michele Tafoya in the Minnesota Senate race by ONLY 1 point.
Minnesota - 2026 Senate
🟦 Peggy Flanagan 43%
🟥 Michele Tafoya 42%
See all MN Senate polls @Pollsmax.
Democratic leadership in the state have been under fire under the governorship of Tim Walz, mostly notably for the allegations of taxpayer fraud for welfare abuse.
This will be the first Senate election in Minnesota without an incumbent since 2006. Republicans have not won a Senate election in Minnesota since 2002.

Our campaign continues to build momentum, and our message is clear. People are tired of politicians who allowed our money to be stolen.
Peggy Flanagan cannot escape her record or the fraud that occurred on her watch. Minnesotans deserve answers and accountability.
We’re going to keep fighting to deliver it.

Alaska woman says she's voting for Trump-endorsed Senator Dan Sullivan in the midterm election because she fears the agenda and ideology of the far left:
"You got all these communities that are electing Socialists... I don't really want far [left]."

Milton Friedman: “I am not a conservative. I’ve never been a conservative. Hayek was not a conservative.”
“We are liberals in the true meaning of that term: concerned with freedom. We are not liberals in the current distorted sense—those liberal with other people’s money.”

🚨BREAKING: Amy Klobuchar leads Lisa Demuth in the Minnesota governor's race by ONLY 2 points.
Minnesota - 2026 Governor
🟦 Amy Klobuchar 47%
🟥 Lisa Demuth 45%
See all MN Governor polls @Pollsmax.
Democratic leadership in the state have been under fire under the governorship of Tim Walz, mostly notably for the allegations of taxpayer fraud for welfare abuse.
While Klobuchar won the Democratic primary with minimal opposition, Demuth faced a competitive primary against Trump-endorsed Mike Lindell, defeating him with 43.4% of the vote.
The winner of this election is expected to be the first female governor of Minnesota. Republicans have not won a gubernatorial election in Minnesota since 2006.

🚨 BOOM! Democrats are STUNNED after the Detroit News just formally endorsed Mike Rogers (R) for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan over Abdul El Sayed (D)
They did NOT expect that 🔥
It looks like Abdul’s Islamist and socialist ways are catching up with him.
It’s getting so bad, rumor has it Abdul is asking Kamala Harris to campaign for him 😭
Momentum is with Rogers! ELECT THIS PATRIOT
Senator John McCain on Senator Jon Kyl in 2012: "I've always looked up to Jon as my senior. He's been my leader, my senior partner in much of the work we've done in Arizona, my friend, and one of the people I most look up to in this place…"

Arkansas Democrat Hallie Shoffner says on tape that she “would trade five Americans for one” illegal immigrant worker.
Sounds like she also hired illegal immigrants herself.

Sopranos Actor Artie Pasquale is voting for me over the Worst Governor in America, Kathy Hochul.
I agree with you Artie, the people of New York don’t just need a change. They deserve one.
Thanks for the support Artie.

There’s little doubt El-Sayed is going to dramatically underperform …
the question in Michigan is will he underperform badly enough to lose a swing state race in a Dem wave year.
Quite a split in WaPo/Schar poll of Michigan:
#MISEN: El-Sayed +3
#MIGOV: Benson +12
(Sept. 10-14; 803 LVs; +/-3.9%)
