The News Agents

As we come off air at 1am the Democrats have just taken the house and the senate - flipping seats in the unlikeliest of places - Texas, South Carolina, Iowa and even Maine.
It’s an absolute blue blow out, and a repudiation of Trump which even he is finding hard to ignore. So what will happen to MAGA now - and to Trump himself?
Lewis is with the crowds celebrating in Texas, whilst Jon and Emily are watching the door of the White House slowly open and close in the darkness.

59 million Americans have already gone to the polls ahead of election day - but tonight we find out if those predictions of a Blue Democrat wave are actually right. We’re joined by Piers Morgan to analyse where the MAGA movement is now. And we get his predictions for the races ahead.

"If we lose Texas, we lose America." Those are the words of Ken Paxton, Trump's scandal-plagued candidate for the Texas Senate seat. He shouldn't be having to issue that warning. Texas has always been Trump county - there is no clear path to the White House for the Republicans without it. And yet, if the polls are right, the Democrats could be on course for an historic victory.
James Talarico has electrified voters with his brand of Christian populism, and even he seems more interested in criticising Elon Musk than Donald Trump. Is this the last stand for MAGA? And why are so many Texan Republicans starting to think about life after Trump? Lewis has a special report from Texas.

The News Agents are in Washington DC to begin their week of midterms coverage - and there's a huge story out of Michigan - as Democrat Haley Stevens switched sides this weekend to support the Republicans instead of fellow dem Abdul El-Sayed in the race for the Senate.
Stevens has long had a problem with El-Sayed - the man who defeated her in the Michigan primary for Senate. But her move yesterday left Democrats spitting blood.
Does Stevens have a point when she talks about the anti-semitic rhetoric that surrounds parts of his campaign? Or has she just blown her moral high ground by siding with a Trump puppet who has peddled in Islamophobia? And how much does this Michigan row reflect what’s happening more widely in the Democratic Party?
Later, the latest New York Times polls are looking a little too good for the Democrats. Will this make it harder to get out the vote? And how much leeway should we allow pollsters for their much vaunted “margin of error“?

Trump's popularity is at record lows. What impact will this have on Americans going to vote in the midterm elections next week? Today we lay out the races to watch on Tuesday night, and ask whether Congress could really go Democrat. What will that mean for American foreign policy, for us, and for the presidential race of 2028? We’re joined by Miles Taylor - Trump's former state department Chief of Staff - now wanted for treason by the president.
