Trump battles to hold back the Blue Wave

November 2, 2026

Tuesday's midterm elections will determine who controls Congress during the final two years of President Donald Trump's term. Democrats are hoping to capture both chambers, while Trump is campaigning in states he won comfortably just two years ago. Meanwhile, in Michigan, a Democratic congresswoman has endorsed the Republican Senate candidate following a clash with anti-Israel Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.

Beyond the battle for Congress, Texas could define Trump's political future

More than 52 million Americans have already voted in the midterm elections, which could shift the balance of power in Washington and turn Donald Trump's final two years in the White House into a prolonged political battle. Polls give Democrats an advantage in the race for the House of Representatives, but the fight for the Senate is expected to be much closer. Meanwhile, in deep-red Texas, one of the states most closely identified with the American Right, a Senate race could become a symbol of political change.

Poland's constitutional crisis carries warning for Israel

Prime Minister Donald Tusk is pushing to install his preferred judges on Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, while President Karol Nawrocki refuses to recognize some of the appointments. After security forces helped judges gain access to the court building and the tribunal's president and his deputy were suspended, both camps accused each other of undermining the constitutional order, bringing the country dangerously close to an unprecedented institutional showdown.

How Iran's strategy has shifted from nuclear denial to bomb threats

For years, Tehran invoked a religious decree banning nuclear weapons even as it pursued a clandestine program to develop them. Now, following the war and the elimination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, calls for Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb are growing, and even withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is no longer taboo.

Israel faces a political tsunami in Washington

Jewish settler violence is further damaging Israel's standing in American public opinion. If Democrats take control of Congress on November 3, the consequences could extend to annual US military aid and arms sales. With support for Israel also eroding among Republicans, maintaining the status quo could backfire on Jerusalem if a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028.

Since Oct. 7, Israeli intelligence has dramatically stepped up its efforts in this field, providing sensitive assistance to Middle Eastern countries, warnings that foiled terrorist attacks in Europe and tips that prevented assassinations.
