“Trump’s approval is lower than any president’s heading into a midterm since Harry Truman. It’s nearly 10 points lower than it was in 2018, when Republicans lost the popular vote by almost nine points but held the red-state Senate races. Back then, Republicans held those states by rallying Mr. Trump’s supporters. A majority of voters approved of his performance in the key red states, like Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, North Dakota and Missouri. This time, winning just the voters who approve of Mr. Trump won’t be anywhere near enough. It wouldn’t even be enough in a state like South Carolina, let alone the top-tier Senate battlegrounds. With Republican-leaning voters outright disapproving of Mr. Trump, this time they really do stay home or even cast a ballot for the other party. If that happens, Democrats could win by a larger margin than we’ve seen in recent memory.” Source: @Nate_Cohn @nytimes (nytimes.com/2026/10/29/upsho…)

👩‍⚕️Today we celebrate the International Day of Care and Support. Women perform more than three-quarters of all unpaid care work globally, 3.2 times as much as men. Paid care work is also predominantly done by women, and remains undervalued, with low wages and precarious working conditions. We fight for the full recognition and valuing of both paid and unpaid care work. This means closing the gender care, pay, and pension gaps and ensuring accessible, affordable care services. This is essential for our societies to function. Source: International Labour Organisation, Care Work and Care Jobs for the Future of Decent Work: ilo.org/sites/default/files/… @PES_Women

🚨BREAKING🚨 Fox News has shifted the South Carolina U.S. Senate Election from Lean R to Toss-Up.

The quota is lower under 6 seats so transfers matter much less. Overall the results are quite a bit more proportional and the benefit of being transfer friendly is reduced.

I did amend our bonus candidate logic so bigger parties in each constituency will get an extra candidate (or 2) but this isn't going to be perfect. And all I got was horrible looking spreadsheet so I have no nice graphics.

I've run the latest @Moreincommon_ poll through the system but with 6 seats per constituency*: SF 34 DUP 23 UUP 13 TUV 12 AP 12 SDLP 12 GP 1 Ind 1 Compared to 5 seats Un: +9 Nat: +8 Other: +2 *disclaimer and constituency results below

Vučić announces an assembly of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) within a month, at which a new leadership will be elected. Vučić himself does not hold any position in the SNS, having resigned as party president in May 2023 and been succeeded by Miloš Vučević. He has nevertheless remained the party's informal leader and has been elected as an MP in the new parliament. Pro-SNS media outlets have been describing Vučić as "the leader of the opposition" since Monday. In the past few days, he has also been posting short videos on social media, accusing the SL of carrying out "revolutionary terror". At today's press conference, Vučić once again accused members of the victorious Student List of "calling into question the very survival of the political scene" through the "terror" they are currently carrying out in Serbia.
