The midterms are about 50 days away, and Democrats continue to search for ways to gain back control of the House and Senate. Their answer may come from the conflict in Iran. Iran is most likely planning an October surprise of their own to shock Americans and hurt Republicans in the November elections. Democrats are all for it. But will that surprise be enough to give Democrats control of Congress until the end of Trump’s second term?

Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is exposing deeper problems with the country’s economy, immigration system, energy policy, and national defense. Prime Minister Mark Carney is pursuing closer ties with China while Canada remains heavily dependent on the United States for trade and security.A weaker economy, limited defense capabilities, restrictions on Canada’s vast energy resources, and growing tensions with its largest trading partner have left the country with little room for error. Turning toward China and adopting policies modeled after Europe could further strain the U.S.-Canada alliance and leave Canadians paying the price.

Iran mistakenly thinks the November midterms are President Trump's weakness. But Trump plans to use this thinking and the midterms against the Iranian regime.



If Trump can end the conflict by his midterm deadline and truly accomplish his objectives, there’s a very good chance it could boost Republicans’ outcome in the November elections.



"If you look at the entire situation, the midterms are actually in the interest of Donald Trump and the Iranian dissidents. Donald Trump then has a deadline to which he can bring this thing to a close. He's got seven weeks, and I think that he will be encouraging internal revolt."

Welcome to the "Midterm Report," the Daily Signal's new election podcast. Every Saturday between now and Election Day, Rob Bluey breaks down the biggest stories in politics with the interviews, insights, and analysis you won't get from legacy media.

On our first episode, pollster Brent Buchanan joins the show to discuss the first-ever RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas, explaining the split inside the GOP base between Trump Republicans and traditional Republicans, and a 26-point enthusiasm gap between them. He walks through why affordability is dominating voter behavior, why only 88% of Trump 2024 voters are committing to a Republican for Congress, why the "socialist" label alone won't win races, and the one number you should actually watch in every poll from now to November.

Then, historian Victor Davis Hanson joins us on his brand-new book, "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement." Hanson explains what "counterrevolution" really means, how Trump's second term targets causes instead of symptoms, and how a man written off after Jan. 6 mounted what he calls the greatest political comeback in modern American history. He also compares Trump to Reagan, walks through the lawfare and debanking years, explains how Trump won on class instead of race, and gives his odds for the House and Senate this November.

The fate of 41 million Canadians depends on Mark Carney being successful in his renewed trade war with the United States.

However, he will fail.

They've lost 41,000 jobs just in one week of the tariff war.

The United States, for the first time ever, is ushering in a new world order.

"We're not going to subsidize everybody's defense and run up $200 billion deficits with one neighbor, Mexico, and $50 billion to $60 billion with our northern neighbor and call it a free trade zone.

We're not the wealthy powerhouse we always were.

President Donald Trump wants symmetry, and the United States wants gratitude, and Carney wants to wage an economic war and gin up world opinion against the United States and ally himself with the most pernicious, deadly government in history," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words."
