Tuesday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” former CIA Director John Brennan expressed his concern that President Donald Trump would somehow interfere with the midterm elections. Host Peter Alexander said, “The president has had a hard time getting his SAVE America Act effort through. We’ve heard a lot on this conversation as it relates to voting restrictions. He wants to pass it through Congress. He doesn’t have the votes right now.” After playing a clip of Trump discussing the midterms, Alexander asked, “Your reaction to that? A lot of fear about what may happen ahead of these midterms.” Brennan said, “I think…
The city is probing prediction markets, claiming that they could encourage minors to gamble New York City Council is investigating Polymarket, Kalshi, and other predictive market platforms for “deceptive and predatory” marketing practices, accusing the industry of encouraging gambling and insider trading.Council Speaker Julie Menin notified Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Gemini Titan of the investigation on Tuesday. In a letter to Polymarket seen by Bloomberg, Menin referenced “troubling” news reports suggesting that the company and its competitors “target young adults – and thus potentially minors – with false, deceptive, and unconscionable advertising.”According to the reports, Polymarket allegedly paid influencers to…
Screencap of Twitter/X video. One of the most remarkable aspects of the last two Democrat primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan is how utterly wrong the polls were. Abdul El-Sayed was supposed to win by double digits, according to the polls. He squeaked out a win by one point. Francesca Hong was supposed to win in a landslide, according to the polls. She ended up losing. What is going on? Pollster and political analyst Frank Luntz took to Twitter/X last night and called for a complete shutdown of primary polling in the midwest. I am calling for a total and complete…
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) responded to a question on if Democrats like her should speak out against or embrace candidates who have advocated for Hamas and defunding the police by saying that “if I am talking to any candidate, or certainly anyone who might be running in Virginia, my priority is going to be that they understand the vital resources that are needed to keep our communities safe, to strengthen our schools, and to ultimately lower costs.” Co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked, “Governor, for example, you’re not somebody who’s been a defund…
Tuesday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) said he welcomed Democratic candidates who were members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) because it makes the party debate ideas. Host Peter Alexander said, “There’s a conversation happening among Democrats, and I’m sure a lot of people sitting listening to this conversation right now, who have these real concerns about the sort of divide they’re experiencing within the party between the more progressive candidates and the more moderate, more centrist candidates. The fear is that ultimately it may cost the party some seats, some governors’…
From the power of President Donald Trump’s endorsement to whether the progressive left can win in statewide battleground races, here’s what POLITICO is watching tonight. 1. Wisconsin governor — Democrats’ ideological war If democratic socialist Francesca Hong triumphs against Milwaukee County executive David Crowley, it would be a major victory for the left. But she’d still have to convince Democrats — and even some top progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.), who’ve stayed out of the race — that she is electable in a general election. Many Democrats are already warning that Hong could drag…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said that while President Donald Trump’s strategy to rely on economic pressure with Iran could take a while, there has been a lot of damage done to their military, and “the President understands that, when you continually weaken them economically, then you create the atmosphere in which maybe their people decide, that’s enough, this regime has tortured us enough, and they overcome the regime themselves from within.” Host Rob Schmitt asked, “The President has indicated they’re low-keying this war, that he wants to just —…
The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen claimed responsibility for a murderous “double tap” strike on a ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Tuesday, using three ballistic missiles to set the ship on fire — and then launching another missile in a deliberate attack on rescue teams, killing at least six people. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO), the incident began when the Houthis launched three ballistic missiles at a stationary ship in the Bab el-Mandeb strait — which, like the now-infamous Strait of Hormuz, is a chokepoint for a major trade route. The missile attack caused…
