Trump Gets Midterm NIGHTMARE...

There are 10 days until the midterm elections, and Donald Trump and the Republicans are panicking right now. They are spiraling because they keep getting bad news about their endorsed candidates all around the country. So I want to take you to a couple of different Republican states that Republicans should be winning in, and yet the Democrat is either tied, it's very close. Or in some cases, the Democrat is winning. It states that voted for Donald Trump three times. They have Republican governors, Republican senators, all that stuff, and yet the races are very close. So let's start with one that's been very much so in the news recently, Ohio. The polling shows that Amy Act and the Democratic candidate is at 49% on average, and Vivek Ramaswami, the Republican candidate, and also disgusting human being, is at 45.8%. So the Democrats are actually leading in a state that already has a Republican governor right now. It's voted for Donald Trump three times, and one of the biggest controversies and politics right now is taking place in this race. Vivek Ramaswami, as I mentioned, the Republican candidate endorsed by Donald Trump, released a disgusting campaign attack ad about Amy Act and his opponent. The ad featured her strange mother. They've been estranged since she was 12 years old, and she was removed from her custody at 12 years old. The reason being, the stepfather was allegedly sexually abusing Amy Act in. The mother was aiding in that abuse, abusing her in her own ways as well. A really horrific situation, and Vivek Ramaswami is trying to use that trauma against Amy Act in, which is horrific, and I think most people would agree with that. And what makes it even worse is there hasn't been like a retraction. There hasn't been, you know what, this is too far. We didn't know the circumstances, where Donald Trump's saying he should take the ad down. No, Republicans are still defending it, and erase their losing. They are defending a campaign ad like this. Donald Trump actually snapped at a reporter yesterday who was a woman, of course, because he always likes to snap at women reporters when she asked him about why he's dismissing these sexual abuse allegations from Amy Act and just take a look at this exchange. It is horrifying. A mother is saying, don't put my daughter there because she's a terrible person, and she's a liar. Why shouldn't somebody use that? - I do the sexual abuse allegations. - Let me ask you. If my mother said, Steve. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, slow down. Who are you with? Who are you with? - I'm with NBC, sir. - What are the worst networks you have? - But they're basically the sexual abuse allegations. - Quiet. Steve, if not, isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you? If my mother said bad things about me, do you think the Democrats would put it up? I think so. But my mother thought I was wonderful. Thank you, mom. My mother would never, even if she thought them, she would never say this. - Wait, like, what is he talking about? First of all, shout out to this reporter for not backing down. There are reporters who get snapped at by Donald Trump, and then they just kind of listen to him, which I've never really liked. But shout out to this reporter for holding her ground, asking these important questions, and they are important questions. These are very reasonable questions. Do these allegations mean nothing to you? Because he's defended Vivek. He's defended the advertisement, saying it's perfectly okay. And I guess the answer is no, they do not. Which is not exactly surprising, coming from Epstein's best friend, and a man that's been found liable of assaulting a woman in civil court, and has many, many, many allegations against him. So it's not exactly surprising that they don't mean anything to him, but it's still gross and gross for anybody. Most people, I'd say, who are looking at this story and are looking at this election, and he's just misrepresenting what's taking place here. He's like, if my mother said something bad about me, the Democrats would run it. Did your mother abuse you? Were you sexually assaulted by your parents? Like, featuring a parent in an ad, I think is still probably not the right move, but there's so much more context to this situation, and this relationship between Amy Akden and her mother than Donald Trump is letting on. And that's why these polls, especially recently, have been Amy Akden, have her winning by a number of points. Also, Vivek Ramaswamy has commented on the ad. He has defended it, doubled down on it, and this is what he said about it when he was asked most recently. - And politics, sometimes, it's tough sport, and you point out where you think your opponents are flawed. - Wow, is that right? So politics is a tough sport, and that means that you bring up this trauma, that you use this trauma against Amy Akden as a political attack ad. And by the way, flawed. So, Vivek Ramaswamy's position is she's flawed because she was assaulted? That's the Republican Party today, and that's why it's so, oh my man. It's so crucial that we win these midterm elections because we can't have people like Vivek Ramaswamy in office. We can't do that. We can't do that. It's not right. In no circumstances, it's right. Now, I want to move to Io as well. Ohio, we're looking good in, but of course, he got to get out there and vote, and who knows what's gonna happen on election day? Who knows what tricks Donald Trump is gonna try to pull, which we're gonna talk about in just a moment. Let's move to Iowa though. Democrats are sparking early vote surge in Iowa. Early voting is higher than four years ago, including up 29% for Democrats. So people are very motivated, and one of the candidates that's running in Iowa, Ashley Henson, a Republican, is another Donald Trump pawn. She's gonna do whatever Donald Trump wants her to do. She speaks at his rallies. They hug each other. They're best buds, and she actually got on stage the other day at one of Donald Trump's rallies, and she has no charisma whatsoever. So everybody in the crowd, even Trump supporters, were kind of bored by her, and she gave Donald Trump an awkward hug. But this is one of the candidates in Iowa. - Hey, Iowans, we are ready to make sure we do not send Josh Turek to the U.S. Senate in 12 days, aren't we? We're gonna make sure he doesn't get that promotion. The president already said it, right? But Josh Turek's record is too liberal for Iowa. He wants illegal immigrants to have those benefits. He wants asylum in this country. He's talked about it. He wants our kids to be able to change their pronouns at school. So there's never a good time to elect an accident spend liberal Turek Senate. - You know, we gotta start playing Bingo on the show, or whatever it is, yeah, Bingo. We gotta start playing Bingo on the show of like, will this Republican candidate hit all the court culture war issues in their 32nd speech? So we have gender, we have illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants, asylum, liberal, through the word liberal in there. I mean, it's like a Fox News ad, right? We're watching like a Fox News campaign ad in 30 seconds, and everybody in the crowd seems kind of bored. They're all just like, yeah, all right, you know, there's no, like she's looking off to the side. He's taking a photo up there, you know. These people are not happy. No charisma whatsoever. And speaking of Iowa, that's Ashley Henson. She's actually behind in the average. This is MSNOW's average of polling Turek, the Democratic candidate, who is a wonderful, wonderful candidate. We'd be so lucky if he was in the United States Senate. He's sitting at 46.1% Ashley Henson is sitting at 45.9%. So he's only up by 0.2 points. So not a lot. But, you know, who knows what happens on election day? If the Democrats are getting out there and voting, then we could easily win this race. It's going to be close, I think. But we shall see. And of course, the Iowa race and the, excuse me, the governor race in Iowa is much different. Rob Sand, the Democrat who's also a very interesting candidate, knows how to run this race in Iowa has done it really well. He's up by eight points on his Republican opponent. So it's interesting. There's an interesting thing going on there. Now I want to move to Alaska as well. Again, all these are Republican states. I want to move to Alaska because not only are Democrats doing surprisingly well in a state that has been historically Republican, but also Donald Trump is already trying these shenanigans and it's backfiring in a major way. The Trump administration is suing to block the Alaska Senate confirmation or certification, I should say, if the Republicans lose. So you heard that right. If Republicans lose, they would like to block the certification, but if they win, no problem. Oh, it's all good. We won, so it's fine, but if you guys win, then we're gonna try to block the certification of the election horrifying. But let me give you the details. The Justice Department has filed a suit against Alaska election officials seeking to block the results of November's U.S. Senate election from being certified unless the incumbent wins a controversial move that Donald Trump actually claimed credit for. He said, yes, I told them to do that. Which is great, you know, the window or should say the wall between the Department of Justice and the executive has just completely disappeared. In papers filed in federal court, attorneys for the DOJ argued that the presence of Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr. on the ballot could mislead supporters of the sitting Senator Daniel Sullivan. So because there's a guy with a similar name, they're like, you gotta void the election, which is so dumb, it's a terrible argument. For example, some supporters of Senator Sullivan likely will inadvertently vote for Daniel J. Sullivan. To guard against this danger, it is vital that defendants not certify any election results that may be impacted by voter confusion. The Trump administration is seeking a court order blocking the results from being certified if Senator Sullivan does not win the election. And two, had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast and said for Senator Sullivan and Alaska's ranked choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election. This is like the dumbest argument ever. The argument is essentially, hey, if these people that didn't vote for this candidate would have voted for him, then he would have won. What, what, yeah, yeah, exactly, yes. People didn't vote for your candidate, you lost. And so you lost. You don't get to take other votes from other people just because you want to or they have a similar name. It's ridiculous, but Mary Peltola, the Democrat running in this seat actually responded to what Donald Trump did here, this lawsuit. And this is what she said on MSNOW. Take a look. - This is such a desperate attempt on Dan Sullivan's behalf. And it's such a distraction. It's such an unfortunate distraction. I feel like every day of this campaign, Dan Sullivan has been more interested in diverting people's attention and distracting them from what we all know is the number one issue, which is affordability and the fact that he voted 14 times for this war in Iran that's driving everyone's prices up. And this is just a desperate attempt to silence Alaskans. And this is exactly the kind of corruption that Alaskans are sick and tired of. And this is exactly why I'm in this race. And this is going to make this race so much more expensive now. So I just want to make sure people know my website is MaryPeltola.com. And please pitch in whatever you can to help us fight this corruption. This is such-- Well said, by hopefully future Senator Mary Peltola. I mean, it is just such a desperate attempt. They're just throwing anything. And like, as I mentioned, this is probably part of the reason why Democrats are doing surprisingly well in Alaska. The Democrat for Governor is up by six points. And Mary Peltola is up by two over the incumbent Republican. Republicans are seeing this data. They are seeing how badly Republicans are doing across the country. And they're saying, hey, instead of trying to win fairly, using our policies and convincing people of our position, instead let's try to steal the election. Let's try to block the certification of a free and fair election. It's gross. Then moving to Michigan. This is a state that Donald Trump won in 2024. And of course, you have Abdul El-Sayed running for the Senate there against Mike Rogers and the only attack line that Donald Trump and Republicans have been able to develop about Abdul El-Sayed is that he's Muslim. I cannot believe it's the year 2026. And Islamophobia is being used as a campaign talking point. And I say I can't believe it because we should be past it. But quite frankly, I'm not surprised that it's coming from someone like Donald Trump and someone like the Republicans. He spoke about Abdul El-Sayed while leaving the White House yesterday in the same press conference that he snapped at that reporter, and I just want to show you what he said. We can't have him in the United States. And I look forward to me. I'll tell you what, I look so forward to Michigan. And I think it's going to be wild. But I look so forward because he's a total phony. He's a little phony. And everything about him is fake. And he's a liar. And he talks about all these things about like he's a moderate. He's not a writer. He's a jihadist. He's a vicious violent jihadist. And he is no place in our government. [INTERPOSING VOICES] A jihadist. That's what they're going with right now. Did you notice there's not a single critique of policy in there, not one, not one, from Donald Trump. He called him a little phony. Everything about him is fake, which is so ironic coming from Donald Trump. But that's the attack line that they're going with. And something interesting happened in Michigan recently. A person stood up during a Abdul El-Sayed Senate event. And his name is Tommy. And he said, do you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? And Abdul El-Sayed had a really good interaction with him, which I'll show you very briefly. But I want to talk about this video a little bit more, aside from what took place in this room. It's a simple question. No, your friends got the mic. Answer your-- you were a simple question. You give me your name, I'll answer the question. OK, Tommy. Hi, Tommy. How are you? I'm three. Are you-- do you know the constitution of the United States is-- I have one simple question. Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? Sure. Yeah, absolutely. But I want to ask you the question that you're asking. Why are you asking the question? Well, because they're a terrorist group. OK, no, no. But what are you implying? Do you assume that I wouldn't? Yes. Why not? Because I have not heard you disavow them yet. Have you disavowed them? I haven't heard you disavowed them yet. Very great. But here's the thing about it. You're asking the question, because implicitly, you assume that I'll have dual orders, right? You assume that somehow I wouldn't disavow, or that I'll have some higher order allegiance in the constitution. Correct. Tommy is out between class. That's exactly what Tommy was implying, by the way. Terrific. Again, it's homophobia. Because Abdul El Sayed is Muslim, then they must assume that he would associate himself with a terrorist group. These people are horrific. We learned something about Tommy, though. The man who heckled him is the son of a Republican advisor who was paid for influencer marketing. So this is a Republican plant, no surprise there. And in Michigan, Abdul El Sayed is actually up by 2.1%, which is great. So we will see what happens in all these states around the country. But a lot of these stunts that Donald Trump and the Republicans are pulling are backfiring majorly. And hopefully that translates into an election win. So I will leave the video there.
