Campaigns & Elections

With election week over, the left wing media was in desperate need of a new obsession, and they have apparently found it in new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, appointed by President Trump on Friday, replacing Susie Wiles. Miller, who has been a target of the left for years while serving in both Trump administrations, came under heavy verbal fire Friday night on CNN's Election Week…

Politico is celebrating presumed Democrat gains in the 2026 midterms and predicting a 2028 presidential win, yet avoids naming any actual candidates. The blog points out this omission, suggesting mentioning real contenders would undermine Politico’s optimism given doubts about potential Democrat front-runners and lingering electoral uncertainty.

PBS host Christiane Amanpour welcomed Pulitzer Prize-winning author Barbara Kingsolver to Friday’s episode of Amanpour and Company to not only promote her new book but also to engage in the type of election analysis that says that Tuesday was not just a good night for Democrats; it was a victory for democracy itself.

On Election Night Tuesday, the PBS News Hour continued its cozy Democratic tradition of hosting Rep. Nancy Pelosi on Election Night, the way it has since 2016, as proudly noted by co-anchor Amna Nawaz Tuesday night. Pelosi has been a guest on the News Hour six straight election nights starting in 2016, including both mid-term and presidential year elections. 

And there they go. The “they” here would be the “mainstream” (aka liberal) media. And where they have already started heading is into the jungle of the 2028 presidential election.

CBS Saturday Morning co-host Adriana Diaz joined various Democratic politicians and left-wing activists in celebrating Texas turning blue. Diaz was especially eager to tout Gina Hinojosa’s election as governor, which she claimed “rocked households like an earthquake” due to her being Latina.

MS NOW host and congressional correspondent Ali Vitali wandered outside the bubble on Friday to join HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher and Free Press contributor Coleman Hughes in recapping Tuesday’s midterm election results, which included some discussion about the media’s role in election coverage. During the regular show, Vitali would defend media fearmongering about the administration…

Joe Scarborough has a long history of mounting verbal hobbyhorses and riding them into the ground. On Thursday’s Morning Joe, he did it again—this time with the word “beat.” Across roughly the first hour and a half of the show, Scarborough used some variation of “beat,” “beating,” or “beating up” no fewer than eight times. The target was Republicans, and his accusation was their alleged…

On Thursday, MS NOW’s On the Line found plenty of ways to make Mississippi’s election about Donald Trump, but activist LaTosha Brown took things a step further by invoking the state’s Jim Crow history to explain the apparent Democratic advantage.

Everything, not just gas, is going to become less affordable, if the radical Democrats elected to Congress on Tuesday put their policies into effect, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned Thursday, commenting on the results of this week’s midterm elections.

During Wednesday’s The Last Word, host Lawrence O’Donnell took a victory lap following the Democrats’ win in the midterm elections, and repeatedly declared that “the bad guys lost” some 12 times while celebrating what he portrayed as a long awaited Hollywood-style ending to American politics.

MS NOW’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough is the kind of guy who fancies himself as someone defending true Christianity against the “Christian nationalists” who seek to pervert it. However, on Friday, Scarborough welcomed Rep. James Clyburn to bask in the results of Tuesday’s midterms and parroted his explicitly Christian analogy that claimed Democrats winning in the South has “redeemed” it…

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was in a good mood to begin Thursday’s episode of The Weekly Show podcast as he claimed Tuesday’s midterms were “an exciting repudiation of cruelty and shittiness.” However, by the time it came for the audience Q&A, Stewart and his producers demanded that the number one thing Democrats need to do is remove Sen. Chuck Schumer as majority leader, and their…

Despite being under scrutiny from the Federal Communications Commission for a slew violations of ABC’s broadcast license, including for equal-time for candidates, The View continued their history of vastly lopsided liberal vs conservative guests in the run up to the 2026 midterm elections. For these very critical elections, ABC’s “bona fide news program” only allowed 1 conservative on the show…
