    Who will Trump blame for his electoral wipeout? - The News Agents - USA

    After a night of electoral disaster, Trump has finally appeared before the world media to offer up his thoughts on...you’ve guessed it...the ballroom. Is he just going to pretend last night didn’t happen? Who’s going to get the blame in his inner circle? And will democrats resist the urge to sound punchably smug after their blue wave?

    The Democrats destroy Trump - what happens now?

    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.

    Special Report: Is Texas where MAGA dies?

    "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 is a Global production.

    Why has a Democrat "traitor" switched sides to help Trump win?

    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“?

    What happens if Trump loses these midterms?

    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. The News Agents is a Global prodcution.

    James McClean: 'Hung out to dry' for refusing to wear Poppy - The Sports Agents

    At just 11 years old, James McClean was making petrol bombs on the streets of Derry. Years later, he would be playing in the Premier League. Growing up in the shadow of the Troubles, McClean's journey from the streets of Creggan to 103 caps for the Republic of Ireland and captaining Wrexham during their Hollywood rise has been anything but conventional. In this special episode of The Sports Agents, McClean joins Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman to reflect on a remarkable life in football — from his Premier League career to the poppy controversy, the years of abuse from opposition supporters and his refusal to compromise on his beliefs. Drawing on his autobiography The Walls, he opens up about his childhood, the pressures of professional football, his struggles with anger, the importance of family and the experiences that have shaped the man behind the headlines. An honest and sometimes uncomfortable conversation about football, identity, loyalty and the price of standing by your convictions. James McClean's autobiography The Walls, published by Sandycove is out now. 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Senior Producer: David Finch Video Producer: Sam Trudgill Digital Content Producer: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa -just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!

    Why is Netanyahu accusing Arab voters of “stealing the election“?

    The turn out of Arab voters in Israel’s election this week was unprecedented - 800 thousand, or 15 percent, of the country went to the polls. Many were driven there to oust Benjamin Netanyahu from power - the man they blame for security failures, inhumane policies, and rising crime. Today, Netanyahu accused them of “stealing the election” and ordered the intelligence agencies to investigate whether Qatari money was boosting the Arab parties. Has he stolen straight from the Trump playbook? Will he disenfranchise the Arab vote? And will he tarnish any party that tries to work with them? It’s all part of a plan to stay in power. Later, how the chancellor ended up in his own Thick of It moment. The News Agents is a Global production. The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
