Obama, Trump trade barbs at rallies before midterms

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama held rival rallies in Ohio and Georgia five days before the midterm elections, trading criticism as both campaigned for their parties’ candidates. Obama blamed Trump’s Iran war and trade policies for higher costs, and argued the administration had focused more on responding to his joke about White House renovations than on inflation. Trump defended the renovations and attacked Obama while urging voters to support Republican candidates, including Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. The exchanges came amid concerns that the elections could shift control of Congress.

Trump Endorses Netanyahu Ahead of Israel Election

Recent Israeli election polls show Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar narrowly ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud, but the broader surveys suggest no clear path to a governing majority; one poll gives the anti-Netanyahu bloc a nominal lead that includes Arab parties. The campaign is also reaching disillusioned voters in Likud strongholds, while the outcome may hinge on smaller parties crossing the electoral threshold.

Iran Says Israeli Election Won’t Change Policy

Israel Election Leaves No Bloc With Clear Majority

As Israel heads toward an election, Netanyahu faces calls to leave office over responsibility for the October 7 security failure and resistance to an independent inquiry, while opponents also attack him as too open to Palestinian statehood. The campaign reflects deep divisions over war and peace, alongside an unprecedented alliance in which Jewish Zionist candidate Yoav Segalovitz is running with an Arab party to help Gadi Eisenkot form a government.
