Former President Bill Clinton is set to make his first public appearance of the midterm campaign on October 20 in Florida, backing Democrat David Jolly, a former Republican congressman running for governor. Jolly is competing with Republican Byron Donalds to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis and is campaigning mainly on affordability. Hillary Clinton campaigned for Democrats Lynne Walz and Denise Powell in Omaha, Nebraska, on October 10, and launched the weekly High Stakes podcast with Kara Swisher on October 14. Democratic strategists quoted in the article differ on the couple's influence: one says Bill Clinton remains a talented communicator with working-class voters, while the other says they mainly reach the party's core base and political enthusiasts.

- Trump ramps up campaign efforts with 18 days left until midterms
President Donald Trump is intensifying his campaign with rallies in several states, 18 days before the midterm elections, amid poor polling. As part of a 32-day campaign blitz, he is scheduled to rally in northern Kentucky for Republican Senate candidate Andy Barr, who faces Democrat Charles Booker, and holds events in Wichita, Kansas and Greenville, North Carolina. A Fox News poll found 70% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy and 77% disapprove of his approach to inflation, while voters are divided on border security. Trump also floated returning to Texas before Nov. 3 if necessary.
- Kansas Libertarian Drew Cranmer criticizes Iran war, tariffs and rising costs ahead of midterms: President overstepped his bounds
Drew Cranmer, the Libertarian candidate for Kansas Congressional District 4, spoke with HT.com ahead of the November 3 midterms. He called Flock cameras unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment and said they need better guardrails, including inspectable audit logs. On ICE, he said federal agents should target lawbreakers and violent criminals rather than restaurant and grocery workers, while supporting limits on immigration alongside easier processes for long-time residents. He called for audits of the Federal Reserve and the Department of Defense, criticized foreign aid and tariffs hurting Kansas farmers and raising diesel costs, and said President Trump had overstepped his bounds. He positioned the Libertarian Party as an alternative and urged voters to put principles above party.
- Never in history : Ex - Trump official says president just hit a dark new milestone
Former Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor wrote in his Defiance newsletter that corruption has become the leading issue in an American election, something he says has never happened in modern polling. He cited a Fox News poll finding 88% of registered voters are extremely or very concerned about corruption, and a Trump approval rating of 36%, the lowest Fox has recorded for him. A Gallup poll last month found 89% of Americans believe corruption is widespread in their government, the highest share Gallup has measured. Taylor pointed to the White House ballroom, whose donors reportedly include Apple, Nvidia and Lockheed Martin, many of which have since won regulatory decisions or government contracts, while hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars fund the project. He concluded that the polling is a 'death sentence' for MAGA as a governing movement.
- President Trump's Push to Reschedule Marijuana Hit a Snag. Is Green Thumb Still a Buy?
Moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III is being delayed by a Government Accountability Office report, as opponents seek to add the report, more testimony and documents to the administrative record. The DEA does not object to including the report, but the additional requests could postpone a final decision. For Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF), rescheduling could remove the federal tax burden under Section 280E, which bars deductions for ordinary operating expenses. Even so, the company generated $29 million in operating cash flow in Q2 2026, with revenue of $306.7 million, normalized EBITDA of $84.3 million and net income of $4.9 million. Q2 gross margin fell to 45% from 49.9% a year earlier, while the company repurchased about 29.5 million shares for $203.4 million.
- Trump faces criticism ahead of elections for repeatedly easing Russia sanctions
Republican members of the U.S. Congress have criticized President Trump's decision to suspend enforcement of the Russia sanctions law, arguing it helps Moscow's campaign in Ukraine. The administration sees the waiver as enabling a deal for Russian diesel exports, aimed at lowering U.S. fuel prices before the midterm elections. Senator Ted Cruz said he wished the president had not done it, while Senator Thom Tillis questioned why the administration would not enforce a law the Senate had passed 86-11. At least eight Republican senators and a bipartisan group of 12 senators have urged that the diesel deal be cancelled or the law enforced, and Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has also condemned the move. With Congress in recess until after the midterm elections, immediate legislative action to block the deal appears unlikely.
- Two 'flying Kremlin' jets take off together: which one carries President Putin remains a secret
The article profiles the Ilyushin Il-96-300PU, nicknamed the 'Flying Kremlin', which President Vladimir Putin uses on foreign trips. It is widely believed to have no windows apart from the cockpit, can fly about 11,000 km on one tank of fuel and carry up to 262 passengers in a two-class layout. According to the article, the 'Doomsday Plane' nickname is usually linked to the Il-80, while the Il-96-300PU serves as a mobile command centre with secure communications. Putin often flies on one of two identical aircraft that take off together, a decoy tactic that makes his location hard to determine, as during a recent visit to India. Detailed performance data remains classified, though reports cite electronic warfare and missile countermeasure systems.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
