Trump votes early in Florida as Republicans fight to retain Congress

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump voted early in Florida on Saturday ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. The president said he voted exclusively for Republican candidates before travelling to Georgia to campaign for the party. He accused Democrats of corruption and again claimed, without credible evidence, that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Polls point to a difficult contest for Republicans, who could lose their majority in the House of Representatives and potentially the Senate.

Israeli elections: What are the possible outcomes?

Israelis will vote on October 27 to elect all 120 members of the Knesset, in the first election since the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza. Polls project 52 seats for the opposition bloc and 50 for Benjamin Netanyahu’s religious-nationalist alliance, leaving Palestinian-led parties potentially decisive. Under Israel’s proportional representation system, parties must negotiate coalitions, and none has ever won the 61 seats needed for an outright majority. Netanyahu could still remain in office if Likud secures enough support from allies such as Jewish Power, Religious Zionism, Shas or United Torah Judaism.

Elections cannot produce change in Israel

Ahead of Israel’s October 27, 2026 parliamentary election, the campaign is framed as a contest between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc and the bloc opposing him. Diana Buttu argues that, on the question of Palestinians, the two blocs do not offer different visions and that Netanyahu’s departure would not resolve the situation. She says most voters will support candidates who back continued colonisation of the West Bank, destruction in Gaza and the denial of Palestinian freedom.

After Kabila officially joins the rebellion, Félix Tshisekedi tells the Sacred Union the situation is “under control”

Félix Tshisekedi met with Sacred Union deputies and senators on Saturday to mobilize them ahead of a national dialogue, two weeks after Joseph Kabila took the lead of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation, which emerged from the AFC/M23. The president said the situation was “under control,” urged lawmakers to reassure the public, and sharply criticized his predecessor and Paul Kagame. He said the dialogue was intended to restore a degree of normality, not keep him in power; according to a source present, he said he would stop in 2028 if lawmakers refused to change the Constitution. Next week, he is expected to appoint the dialogue’s leaders, with two African Union co-facilitators supporting the process.
