Final weekend before U.S. midterm elections

October 31, 2026 · 28 min

Show notes

The campaign for U.S. midterm elections are in their final sprint. On Tuesday, tens of millions of voters will decide which party gets control of the Congress.

The Democrats are hoping for a strong showing. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is hitting the road again this weekend to tip the scales in close races... some in states where Republican losses were once unthinkable.


Also: Gen-Z men who helped Trump get elected, appear to be turning away from the him just days before midterm elections.


Plus: Young people are taking to the streets in countries around Europe. Cost of living, education and healthcare are some of the issues fuelling today's demonstrations in Spain, Poland and in 30 cities across Germany.
