RNC chair Ronna McDaniel admitted Tuesday that “the House is gonna be tough” for her party, a challenge she attributes to the large numbers of Republican retirements and redistricting in Pennsylvania, which the state Supreme Court ordered to remedy egregious gerrymandering.

A spokesperson for Fox News said that the network does not “condone any talent participating in campaign events,” calling hosts Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro’s appearances at President Donald Trump’s Monday night rally a “distraction.”

“FOX News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events,” Fox News spokesperson Carly Shanahan said in a statement to TPM. “We have an extraordinary team of journalists helming our coverage tonight and we are extremely proud of their work. This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”

Oprah Winfrey addressed the racist robocall that was circulating about her in Georgia ahead of the governor’s race, for which she has been campaigning for Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.

Seemingly forgetting the Democrats’ exhaustive battle to prevent the Republicans from dismantling Obamacare earlier this year, President Donald Trump said Monday night that Democrats would “obliterate” President Barack Obama’s signature legislation should they triumph on Tuesday.

Still feeling burned from 2016 when the major news outlets and networks seemed caught wrong-footed by President Donald Trump’s upset, the major players in election night reporting have prepared with run-throughs, a shift to a seat-by-seat perspective and a dedication to not take anything for granted.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) ended his midterm campaign with a homophobic bang, criticizing House Republicans’ campaign arm for backing a gay candidate in another race and making a bizarre joke about Supreme Court justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

When asked on Monday if there was anything he would do over about his presidency so far, President Donald Trump mused that he could have adopted a “softer tone.”

Despite his full-throated refusals that he would “not be on stage campaigning,” Fox News’ Sean Hannity took the microphone with enthusiasm at President Donald Trump’s rally Monday night, lauding the President’s economic and foreign policy.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is leading Republican challenger Josh Hawley by three points in the newest NBC poll, an edge still within the poll’s margin of error.
