With the wind at his back after a new inflation report, President Trump is predicting the 2026 elections will be about “pricing.”

Window for candidates closes in NC. With everyone filed, primary and general election contests for federal, state, local offices take shape.

Assuming anything like free and fair elections next November, the Democratic wave would be sufficient to overcome Republican attempts at voter suppression, as was the case in 2018. But this time, the effort to undermine elections is far more sinister and systematic.

Polling in off-year election cycles is challenging because it’s hard to know who will turn out to vote. This year, the polls significantly overestimated the Republicans in the Virginia and New Jersey governor’s races, which both had particularly high turnout for an off year. In 2021, polls had the opposite problem, as they overestimated Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday urged all parties to accept the outcome of Honduras' presidential election where Nasry Asfura, the conservative National Party candidate backed by the U.S. president, was declared victor by the electoral body.

The U.S. Department of State demanded that Honduras' National Electoral Council immediately begin a manual count of ballots from last month's presidential election, which has been stalled by protests and wrangling over alleged fraud.

Nasry “Tito” Asfura, a conservative politician backed by US President Donald Trump, has been declared the winner of the Honduran presidential election, narrowly edging out right-leaning centrist Salvador Nasralla in a contest marked by allegations of foreign intervention and voting irregularities.
