Allan Lichtman, a historian at American University in Washington, DC, predicts that Democrats will sweep both the US House and the US Senate on Tuesday next week.

In an interview with The Times, Lichtman said President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, national polling, voter enthusiasm, and early voting trends all point to a punishing night for Republicans.

‘When the approval rating for a president is as low as Trump’s, on average the White House party loses 40 House and six Senate seats,’ Lichtman told The Times. ‘It’s not a prediction; that’s just showing how heavily the winds are blowing against Republicans.’

Lichtman said Democrats are leading Republicans by seven to 11 points on the generic congressional ballot, which he considers more reliable than individual race polls.

Vice President JD Vance has canceled his scheduled trip to Minnesota to hold a news conference on the administration’s efforts to combat fraud, according to the Treasury Department.

It was not intended to be a campaign rally.

The Daily Mail has been told he will be attending a planned rally in Ohio on Monday.

A former Minnesota Democratic state lawmaker publicly rebuked Representative Ilhan Omar over claims she married her brother, warning Democrats against blindly defending the congresswoman amid an ongoing federal immigration criminal probe.

Joe Radinovich, a former Democratic-Farmer-Labor state representative with close ties to Minnesota’s political establishment, made the extraordinary remarks in a series of posts on X on Thursday.

President Donald Trump and his Republican Party look poised for a beating, according to averages of the latest polling data.

With just four days until Election Day and the remaining two years of Trump’s legacy hanging in limbo, dependent on how far Democrats advance on his GOP majority in Congress, there are dire warning signs for conservatives in the Capitol.

The Daily Mail’s midterms power polling average, an analysis of polling averages, shows Democrats holding a strong advantage over Republicans with less than a week to go.

Barack Obama’s much-ballyhooed presidential center in Chicago has just blown past the $1 billion mark in construction costs and commitments.

And the Daily Mail can reveal that, while ticket demand has been high, it appears to be a disaster behind the scenes.

JD Vance answered a young Republican woman’s question about being priced out of a home by cracking a joke about Ohio Senator Jon Husted’s backside.

The vice president was taking questions at a Fox News town hall taped in Fort Worth, Texas, and aired Thursday night on Jesse Watters Primetime, five days before the midterms.

Kate White, vice president of the Turning Point USA chapter at Texas Christian University, told Vance her generation is pushed to marry young and have as many children as possible while a house stays out of reach.

‘How does the right and yourself expect us to start families young when the average price of a home in America now costs more than $415,000?’ she asked.

Vance thanked her for the question, then started counting before drifting to another topic.

A new poll has predicted Democrat Adam Hamilton will win the Kansas Senate race.

Hamilton is estimated to win 52 percent of the vote, while incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall takes 43 percent, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll of Kansas voters.

It comes as Donald Trump has reversed his decision to cancel a rally in Kansas on election eve after facing backlash.

The Cook Political Report, an election forecasting agency, projects that Democrats will flip 12 to 25 House seats and win a majority in the House of Representatives.

This would give Democrats as many as 240 seats, the party’s largest House majority since 2009.

Donald Trump claimed that voters will need an IQ of almost 200 to understand the difference between the two Dan Sullivans, who are on the ballot for Alaska’s Senate seat.

‘You need about 190 IQ to figure out the ballot,’ the president told KCMO radio in Kansas.

Although the ballot clearly lists Dan Sullivan as the Republican incumbent and his doppelganger as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr, Trump said that most people ‘don’t know what incumbent means.’

Early voting is soaring in the midterm elections, and over 43 million Americans have cast their ballots.

An analysis of Associated Press data shows the surge is especially pronounced in Texas, where voters are deciding closely watched Senate, House and governor’s races.

More than 6.3 million Texans had voted early as of Wednesday, compared with 4.2 million at the same point four years ago, a 50 percent increase.

Advance voting has also increased over 30 percent from the same point four years ago in Maine, Michigan, North Carolina and Kansas, all states with competitive Senate races.

In South Carolina, early voting is up 83 percent.
