2: Speaker Mike Johnson Predicts Republicans Will “Defy History,” Insists the Polls Are Wrong
The House speaker says polls showing big Democratic leads are “off, all of them”

Why It Matters to You: Control of the House decides which bills get a vote and which investigations get launched. A Democratic majority would bring subpoenas and gridlock for the rest of President Trump’s term. READ MORE

A day after saying “I don’t feel I have to go to Kansas,” the president put both battleground stops back on for Sunday
President Donald Trump will hold back-to-back rallies in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday after first canceling them in favor of phone “telerallies.” The reversal comes as a new poll shows Republican Sen. Roger Marshall trailing in Kansas. Trump insists the change had nothing to do with his health: “I feel perfect.”
Why It Matters to You: Kansas and Iowa could decide which party controls the Senate. The outcome will shape whether President Trump can confirm judges and pass his agenda in his final two years. READ MORE

The Vatican says the Chicago-born pontiff believes in “the right and the duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes”
Pope Leo XIV has mailed in his ballot for Tuesday’s midterm elections, the Vatican confirmed, making him the first pope ever to vote in an American election. The Chicago native remains a registered voter in Will County, Illinois. His vote comes after months of public friction with President Donald Trump.
Why It Matters to You: If the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics can vote from Vatican City, few Americans have an excuse to sit out an election that will decide control of Congress. READ MORE
5: Nancy Pelosi Says Mamdani and El-Sayed’s Past Comments on Israel Are “Wrong”
Asked if the remarks were concerning, the former speaker said, “No, it’s more than concerning. It’s wrong”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi broke with two of the left’s rising stars on Israel. On Donny Deutsch’s podcast, she said past comments by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed questioning Israel as a Jewish state are wrong. She also insisted antisemitism is rare in her party.
Why It Matters to You: The Democratic Party’s stance on Israel affects America’s most important alliance in the Middle East and the safety of Jewish Americans at home. With El-Sayed days from a possible Senate seat, his views could soon help shape U.S. foreign policy. READ MORE
