The midterms in the United States: Betrayals, nuclear bombs, civil war, and cheesecake, the anecdotes and scandals of the campaign

The 2026 midterm elections in the U.S. are marked by unexpected alliances and intense rhetoric. Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, a move seen as a betrayal to her party and a potential game-changer in the Senate race. The campaign has been characterized by alarming statements, including Tucker Carlson's claims of a possible nuclear strike on Iran under Trump's administration. Meanwhile, Barack Obama humorously criticized Trump, leading to a viral moment involving a cheesecake factory. Trump's rallies have taken a bizarre turn with his focus on male candidates' physiques. In Alaska, a name confusion between two candidates named Dan Sullivan has sparked accusations of dirty tricks. Additionally, Democratic candidate Chris Gallant embraced his past modeling for BDSM publications, showcasing a bold approach to his campaign.
