EXCERPT:

More controversial audio of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton at a Washington fundraiser has leaked, revealing the Senate candidate’s thoughts on what to cut in the federal budget.

The latest audio leak comes after Paxton, whom Trump endorsed, was caught blaming the president’s war in Iran for “dragging” on his campaign at the same private event last month.

When asked about reducing the federal deficit, Paxton told lobbyists and donors, “Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending — you’re gonna have to do it. Or there is no solution. That’s just the reality. We have to suck it up,” according to the new audio recording obtained by The Texas Tribune.

Mandatory spending — which is comprised of programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — makes up the bulk of the federal budget. In the 2025 fiscal year, the government spent $4.2 trillion on such programs, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Paxton blamed both Republican and Democratic presidents for the “crazy” spending, which he warned will “bankrupt” the U.S., according to the recording.

With just 28 days remaining until he faces off against Republican candidate Ken Paxton, Democrat James Talarico is nowhere to be found.

Talarico has not been seen publicly in Texas in over a week, with his last appearance occurring on Saturday, September 26, before he took a fundraising trip to New York City. There, he was treated to a VIP fundraising dinner where attendees, like a filmmaker who labeled America a “shithole” and a group that advocates for child sex change surgeries, were charged $27,000 a plate.

On Wednesday, September 30 Talarico was slated to speak with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in the Rio Grande Valley, but instead joined virtually from a hotel because “his staff says he’s ill and was unable to travel.” During the appearance, Talarico claimed that he was forced to seek care at an urgent care clinic in Dallas, but social media users have disputed the timeline offered by the candidate.

Then, on Friday, October 2, the Talarico campaign chose to recycle footage from a February 22 rally before Talarico had even won the Democrat nomination, and tried to pass it off as current.

The Washington Free Beacon has been on this for months, first noting that El-Sayed listed Egyptian citizenship on his resume when he was hired as an associate professor at Columbia University. He stayed there for a year before leaving to work for the Detroit Health Department. His campaign said it was a clerical error.

It’s a nice pivot, a classic go-to move, but this isn’t like he misfiled a DMV form online. It’s a resume he made on purpose, so what’s the deal here? The Free Beacon published that tidbit in January. Last night, we got video, and, well, it puts everything to rest.

Obama to Campaign in Michigan for El-Sayed — Because It’s the Next Phase of the Revolution – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

When he ran for president in 2008, the junior senator from Illinois was firmly, resolutely, 100% against gay marriage. It was a religious objection, you see: “[A]s a Christian, [marriage] is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”

Of course, then-Sen. Barack Obama said this just a few months after the Rev. Wright “God d**n America” controversy. People forget, but that scandal put Obama’s Christian faith in the spotlight. His halo was tarnished and his momentum derailed: He lost three of the next four states to Hillary Clinton (Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia), winning only North Carolina, where black voters were one-third of the electorate.

But his 2008 opposition to gay marriage exposes how Obama thinks: Timing is everything. Don’t let your reach exceed your grasp. Dream big, but don’t act stupid.

Because he’s a realistic revolutionary. He won’t hunt what he can’t kill.

Donald Trump is a go-big-or-go-home wheeler-dealer; Barack Obama is not. Obama is calculating, incremental, and deliberate. Trump speaks at rallies extemporaneously for hours at a time; Obama relied so heavily on his teleprompter that reporters called it the TOTUS.

That’s Obama’s M.O.: Everything is planned. Each move is intentional. Nothing is accidental.

His 2008 position on gay marriage was a calculated chess move.

Top Michigan Democrat Refuses To Back Abdul El-Sayed– trendingpoliticsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Michigan state Rep. Noah Arbit has said he will not endorse Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Party nominee for U.S. Senate.

Arbit, 31, confirmed the decision in an interview with Jewish Insider published on September 30. He cited what he described as El-Sayed’s promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories and affiliations with figures on the far left as reasons he would not support the nominee in the general election against his Republican challenger, former Rep. Mike Rogers.

“At the very least,” El-Sayed “aligns himself with people who want to purge the Democratic Party and American life of Zionists and, therefore, most Jews,” Arbit said. “That is unacceptable.”

When asked whether he considered El-Sayed antisemitic, Arbit referred to a speech he delivered on the Michigan House floor the previous week. In that speech he argued that the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Jewish prejudice had narrowed.

In the interview, he argued that the definition of antisemitism as simply hating Jews was limited because hating jews is not a prerequisite to advancing “conspiracy theories.”

He identified the center of El-Sayed’s primary campaign as what he called an antisemitic claim that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was the main obstacle to universal health care, better schools, and better roads in Michigan and nationally. “It’s just a dog whistle. It is a neat, clever argument. You take an unpopular policy and you say this is the reason why you don’t have nice things. It is the demagogue’s oldest trick in the book,” Arbit said.

Talarico’s black and Hispanic outreach stalls just weeks before early voting– www.theblaze.com

EXCERPT:

Democratic Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones warned over the summer that James Talarico was not doing enough to win black votes for the upcoming midterms.

Just weeks before Election Day, his campaign may lose even more ground with black and Hispanic voters, potentially dooming Democrats’ efforts to seize control of the Senate from Republicans.

‘Talarico needs to pay for us to get our voters out. Only then does Talarico have a chance to win.’

James Talarico’s U.S. Senate campaign in Texas ran into problems from the very beginning when he defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) for the Democratic nomination. Crockett suggested that black voters in Texas are not excited about Talarico.

Now his campaign has given critics an opening to accuse the woke candidate of ignoring both blacks and Hispanics.

On Monday, a black voter outreach event at the Central Texas African American Civic Engagement Symposium was canceled, just a week after Talarico did not appear in person for an event with the U.S. Hispanic Business Council in South Texas.

Talarico attended the Hispanic event virtually, claiming to be too ill to be there in person.

“I was looking forward to being down in the Valley,” he said on Wednesday. “I’ve been talking about it all week. I was ready to eat my favorite quesabirria tacos, but I was starting to feel kind of under the weather a few days ago. And last night, it got so bad that I went to urgent care here in Dallas.”

A Black Texas Democratic Party vice chair was caught on an undercover audio recording describing concerns about James Talarico, her party’s Senate candidate, and his disregard for the needs and contributions of Black Americans.

Texas Democratic Party Vice Chair for Voter Engagement Sheena Flanary was secretly recorded by an undercover interviewer discussing Talarico winning his party’s nomination by beating out Black U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). A video containing the audio was reportedly created on September 7, 2026.

In the recording exclusively obtained by The Dallas Express, an undercover interviewer (identified only as “Friend/Assistant Jasmine Crockett for U.S. Senate Campaign”) begins by saying that he feels that Crockett lost because “they chose this White guy.”

“Yeah,” Flanary agreed and then confirmed when she was asked again.

“The way it was done, just felt really like intentionally racist and sexist,” the undercover interviewer said. Flanary concurred.

The Black Democrat Vice Chair then explained how she had been disrespected and rejected by the Talarico campaign each time she offered her support:

  • “I was kind of rebuffed” by the Talarico campaign.
  • “He didn’t even want our money” when my husband and I offered to fundraise for his campaign.
  • Talarico campaign’s response to our outreach “wasn’t receptive and reciprocated.”
  • Interactions with Talarico campaign left “a bad taste in my mouth.”

During the lightning round of Tuesday’s Maine U.S. Senate debate between Republican incumbent Susan Collins and Democratic Party challenger Troy Jackson, moderator Gregg Lagerquist asked whether voters should be required to show identification at the polls. The two candidates gave wildly different answers on the topic, producing a debate moment that was widely circulated on social media.

Jackson responded to the question by announcing his unequivocal opposition to any forms of voter ID. “No, as a working logger, many times I went to the polls without my ID. No,” Jackson responded.

Collins’ answer was almost the exact opposite of her opponent’s. “Yes, only Americans should vote in American elections. I don’t think that’s too much to ask when you go to register to vote,” the senator said.

EXCERPT:

Former President Barack Obama will campaign in Detroit with Michigan Democrats later this month, giving the party a high-profile boost ahead of the start of the state’s early voting period.

Obama is set to join Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson and other candidates on Oct. 24, the state party announced Monday.

“It is my honor and privilege to announce that President @BarackObama is joining us on the trail in Detroit on Saturday, October 24,” El-Sayed wrote on social media. “Get. Ready.”

The event comes 10 days before Election Day, with Democrats defending an open Senate seat and the governor’s office.

El-Sayed faces Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. Benson, Michigan’s secretary of state, faces Republican Rep. John James in the open governor’s race.

Since leaving the White House, Obama has remained one of the party’s most popular figures, both nationally and among the party grassroots. He has campaigned in past cycles, but he’s made few public stops on the trail this year.

He previously campaigned in Texas with Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico and gubernatorial nominee Gina Hinojosa, and appeared in a campaign ad with Iowa Senate nominee Josh Turek.

The former president is also set to headline a Washington-area fundraiser Wednesday for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, his first with the party’s Senate campaign arm this election cycle.

James Talarico Refused to Support Bill to Stop Infanticide– www.lifenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico refused to support a 2019 Texas bill that would stop infanticide.

He refused to vote for legislation that required doctors to give life-saving medical care to infants born alive after an abortion, a measure pro-life lawmakers said was necessary to stop infanticide.

Talarico, then representing Round Rock and now the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, recorded his vote as “present, not voting” on House Bill 16, the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. He did not vote yes to mandate that physicians treat a child who survives an abortion the same way they would treat any other infant born at the same gestational age.

Texas Right to Life gave Talarico a 0 percent pro-life score for the 86th Legislative Session. The group cited his present-not-voting stance on the born-alive bill and his opposition to expanding the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program.

The born-alive bill, authored by Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, created criminal and civil penalties for doctors who withhold appropriate care. A physician who failed to act after a failed abortion could face a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a civil fine of at least $100,000. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measure, and it took effect Sept. 1, 2019.

Chuck Schumer projects confidence as GOP money washes over Senate Democrats– www.politico.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

A tidal wave of Republican money is threatening to soak Democrats in the final stretch of the midterm campaign, and Chuck Schumer has a message for his party: Keep your sheets dry.

While the Senate minority leader warned in an interview Wednesday that they shouldn’t be “overconfident,” he painted a rosy picture where Democrats have the “wind in our sails” and are well positioned to overcome an “almost obscene” GOP funding advantage.

“Here’s how I’d sum up the election: Can enormous amounts of Republican money beat a Democratic enormous advantage in much better candidates and a much better political climate?” Schumer asked in his Capitol Hill office. “I think we win.”

Those assurances are emblematic of the rising confidence many Senate Democrats are now expressing as they prepare to leave for a seven-week recess. After months where a tough GOP-tilted map and a series of nasty primary battles cast a shadow over their battle to retake the majority, some are more openly acknowledging they could return to Washington as victors.

“It certainly feels like it’s going to be a wave election, and not for good reasons,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said in an interview. “This president’s domestic and foreign policy has gone off the rails. People are paying more than ever before for basic necessities like gasoline, and we have the most corrupt White House in the history of the country. So that’s where we are.”

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said he was “increasingly hopeful,” while Sen. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) said Democrats are “in a position to earn the trust of voters across the country, win majorities in both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.”

Schumer, like most Senate Democrats, is being careful not to predict outright they will flip the chamber. They need to win four seats on net, including several that President Donald Trump won at least once.

“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters.”

The Minnesota Senate race between Republican Michele Tafoya and Democrat Peggy Flanagan remains a closely contested battle. Multiple consecutive polls have shown the candidates just points apart from each other, within the margin of error.

A recent InsiderAdvantage poll of 1,200 likely voters conducted September 28-29 found Flanagan leading Tafoya 46 percent to 45 percent, a one-point difference within the poll’s 2.95 percentage-point margin of error.

“This survey is unusual in that it goes against many of the trends we are seeing in other Senate contests. It appears that the decrease in popularity of Governor Tim Walz, combined with the growing evidence of fraud in the state are taking a toll on the DFL nominee,”  InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery said in a memo about the poll.

“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters, who in the poll have a significant ‘enthusiasm about voting’ gap versus other age groups who are more enthusiastic,” Towery added.

Key Alaska Senate Race Comes Down to One Issue: Fish– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

Former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola has made fishing the centerpiece of her campaign to unseat Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska.

Peltola, who is Yup’ik and grew up fishing on the Kuskokwim River, has revived her longtime “Fish, Family, Freedom” slogan from her House campaigns and is calling for a ban on factory trawling.

“I’m the only candidate on this stage who’s an Alaskan fisherman. Fish is in my blood, earned over generations on the water,” Peltola said at a Sept. 12 fisheries debate hosted by the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, the Alaska Beacon reported.

The Peltola and Sullivan campaigns and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

The fight centers on bycatch — the salmon, halibut and crab swept up in the nets of large trawlers harvesting pollock and other groundfish in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska — which many Alaskans blame, at least in part, for weak salmon runs and declining halibut and crab stocks, the outlet reported.

The race could help decide which party controls the Senate, Gunnar Knapp, a retired University of Alaska Anchorage economist, told the Beacon.

Brett Watson, an economist at the University of Alaska Anchorage, told the outlet he could not recall fishing issues playing “such a central role in a statewide or federal campaign.”

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has called St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin home since he was two years old. It has been led for 35 years by Rev. Jim Rigby, whom Talarico calls a “mentor,” according to The Christian Post.

Undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall shows Rigby musing about his economic philosophy — a philosophy that has undoubtedly been impressed upon Talarico for virtually the candidate’s entire life.

“I think capitalism is in death throes,” Rigby says in the video. “You’re gonna have to throw everything overboard. It’s like, that’s the next chapter of human rights. It’s like, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness is not capitalism. That every person has a right to medicine, to a livable wage, stuff. That’s not radical.”

Rigby asserts the United States is the only developed nation “that doesn’t have that stuff. And they’re calling that communism.”

“So, to me, just stop looking at the label and what is it that you want?” he continues in the video.

“Gandhi and Martin Luther King were democratic socialists. That’s the next chapter, and it’s not this horrific thing. It’s like, that’s what the rest of the civilized world calls sanity.”

EXCERPT:

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said Saturday that it’s “entirely possible” his party could win control of the Senate in the midterm elections, but he also left the door open on his own political future.

“Let’s revisit after the midterm,” Fetterman told CBS News’ Major Garrett at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.

Democrats faced an uphill battle heading into the midterm cycle as they sought control the upper chamber, with 53 Republicans currently in the Senate and a map that appeared more favorable to the GOP. But as affordability issues have persisted in the Trump administration and amid the unpopular war with Iran, the picture has appeared to improve for Democrats as they aim to secure a majority in the Senate.

Fetterman, who delivered Democrats a crucial victory in a closely watched race in 2022, has been under scrutiny in recent years for breaking with his party, spurring questions about his future. Asked whether he would leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman said Saturday that he doesn’t “have a reason to.” And he emphasized, “I am not a Republican.” But he cautioned that people should wait until the midterm elections to “see what I do.”

“Let’s see what happens if I happen to be 51 — I don’t know,” Fetterman said.
