Stephen Miller wraps his first week as White House Chief of Staff, and he's already cracking down on lobbyists' access to Trump staff. Is the Miller era the start of an all-out push on immigration, or just tougher talk from a White House rocked by the congressional midterm wipeout? Daily Wire managing editor Dylan Housman and Washington Post opinion columnist Kate Andrews join Tim Rice and Mary Margaret Olohan to reveal what divided government will look like.

Plus: Presumptive Democratic House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries hurls insults and vows not to work with the White House, while Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed floats a "TrumpCare" pitch to get "Medicare for All" signed.

The District Club

The Stephen Miller Era Hits Washington Swamp

Democrats flipped the House and Senate in a blue tsunami, and the Republican blame game is on. Was it the Iran war, affordability, or a party with no message? Daily Wire’s Isabel Brown joins the District Club for a heated debate over JD Vance’s post blaming the war. Was it a smart break from Trump, or a political mistake that opens the 2028 field?

Plus: voters rejected Republicans but backed conservative ballot measures, even in blue states. They protected women’s sports, passed voter ID, and voted down tax hikes. Why didn’t GOP candidates run on those issues? Mary Margaret Olohan reports on the mood inside the White House on election night. Isabel outlines her approach to define the New American Dream. And the hosts debate how Republicans win back the young men who stayed home.

Did JD Vance Just Break With Trump? The Clash Over the GOP Midterm Wipeout

Three days before the midterms, a New York Times investigation alleges that Mary Peltola’s campaign and national Democratic operatives searched Alaska’s voter rolls for a second Dan Sullivan to put on the ballot against the real one in order to confuse voters. Peltola and the DSCC deny it, but the Justice Department is already in court. Democratic strategist Ian Russell and Washington Post columnist Carine Hajjar join Tim Rice and Ben Domenech to debate whether the scheme crossed a legal line and whether these late-breaking revelations could cost Democrats a seat that decides the Senate.

Will the Fake Dan Sullivan Help Democrats Steal Alaska’s Senate Seat?

Two pollsters are exposed for fabricating midterm data out of thin air. Did they move money, push candidates out of races, or manipulate the prediction markets? Plus, President Trump rallies the faithful in Iowa and tells voters to pretend he’s on the ballot, but is he winning over swing voters or just playing to safe crowds?

Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign releases an ad featuring opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother urging voters to reject her daughter. It immediately ignited a firestorm of controversy.  

And with less than two weeks until Election Day, the knives are out over whether the GOP’s midterm money bomb is actually working to defend red states like Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas.

Meanwhile, Katie Zacharia’s tenure as White House press secretary gets messy fast. President Trump pulls the plug on the Pentagon's plan to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan after polling shows most Americans oppose it. And in a marquee Senate race, Democrat James Talarico clashes with Texas culture as Republicans pour money into the state to protect Ken Paxton.

Rep. Ilhan Omar Raid, New Press Secretary Debacle & Talarico’s Texas Trouble

President Trump seeks to boost Republican midterm election candidates on his 32-day campaigning blitz, as his party remains in tight races across the country. With a Senate seat in Texas up for grabs, and the Democratic candidate nowhere to be seen on the trail recently, both the President and Republican candidate Ken Paxton are making a campaign slogan out of, "Where is James Talarico?" Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers a sweeping speech on the future of American foreign policy, drawing questions about whether he is signaling a 2028 presidential run.

Trump & AI Leaders Sign Accord, Hegseth Makes Sweeping Changes, and Key Issues Weigh on Midterms

Republicans are hinging their midterm, election hopes, in part, on a massive cash infusion into tight races around the country, but will it be enough to carry their candidates over the finish line? Meanwhile, President Trump meets with foreign leaders at the UN General Assembly and welcomes China's President Xi Jinping to The White House for the first time in over a decade. And a judge lifts The White House's ban on access for several media outlets, as legacy news organizations say the President's policy is an infringement on the free press.
