- Harry Enten Breaks Down What the Midterms Mean for 2028 Elections: ‘Woof!’
Yikes. CNN’s Harry Enten turned his Magic Wall election map into a looking glass, peering ahead to see what would happen if Tuesday’s midterm election results stay true two years from now when the White House is up for grabs. How the map looks depends on if you like the color blue. Appearing Friday on CNN’s Laura Coates Live, anchor Laura Coates previewed Enten’s segment by noting the “staggering” scope of Tuesday’s blue wave, in which Democrats notched historic wins at all levels of government across the country. “Right now, Democrats are on track to control a majority of state governments across the country. Put another way, 75% of Americans are going to live in a state with a Democratic governor, and 53% will live in Democratic trifectas,” Coates noted. “So what could this mean for 2028? CNN’s Harry Enten is at the magic wall for us tonight.” Enten then took over and did an experiment of sorts, zooming two years into the future to see what the Electoral College map would look like in 2028 should this week’s election results hold up. He then agreed with politicians like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who said this week the midterms were “close to an extinction-level event” for the GOP. “You know, after Tuesday’s results, I’m here to tell you why the Republican panic is so real,” Enten began. “Why phrases like extinction level results, well, very much apply based upon Tuesday. Why do I say that? Well, let’s take a look at the electoral map, looking ahead to 2028. And we’re going to apply the results from Tuesday, from the results from the House of U.S. Representatives. “Now, of course, Donald Trump won in 2024 with 312 electoral votes. But what happens if we apply the results of Tuesday? Well, we’ll start in Pennsylvania. That turns blue. “How about Michigan? That turns blue. How about Wisconsin? That turns blue. And now Democrats are already at 270 electoral votes. But we ain’t done yet,” he said. “No no no no no. Ohio, which hasn’t gone blue on the Democratic, on the presidential level, since 2012. That turns blue — 287 electoral votes. But again, we just got to keep going.” “Iowa turns blue; 293 electoral votes. Okay, you might say we’re done with the Midwest. No, we’re not. Indiana, which has only gone Democratic on the presidential level once… [TheTopNews] Read More.24 hours ago - Jeffrey Wigand, Who Blew the Whistle on Big Tobacco, Takes a Lot of Calls

- A Preposterous, Overpriced, Beautiful Disaster of a Car
The most important Cybertruck ever built is probably still parked somewhere on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago. In August 2024, Donald Trump stood on the driveway of his Palm Beach club and circled a custom version of Tesla’s notorious, angular electric truck. Wrapped in a giant photo of his bloodied face after the assassination attempt that summer, the car was a gift from the MAGA influencer Adin Ross during a livestreamed interview. “Wow, that’s an Elon!” Trump said.When Trump returned to the presidency, Elon Musk’s truck became a defining symbol of his second term—a MAGA hat on wheels. Like the president himself, the Cybertruck is thought of differently by different people: brash, unsophisticated, or badass. And like the world’s richest man and former head of DOGE, the Cybertruck moves fast and breaks things with little regard for anything in its way. If nothing else, the Cybertruck is unique: Here is a car that is marketed as bulletproof and has a windshield wiper (only one wiper) that Musk has compared to a “katana.” Now the Cybertruck is about to be something else: discontinued. Early this morning, Musk announced on X that he will wind down production of the Cybertruck by the middle of next year to free up factory space to make Cybercabs, the robotaxis that Tesla is attempting to roll out across the country.No matter how you feel about it, the Cybertruck will go down as a tremendous flop in Silicon Valley history. When the car was first released, in November 2023, Musk called it the “best product” that he’s ever released. As Musk bankrolled Trump’s 2024 presidential run and then joined him in Washington, MAGA supporters enthusiastically embraced the Cybertruck. Fast-forward to 2026, and almost no one wants to buy one. The shift has been telling: The midterms were disastrous for Musk, who blew nearly $500 million boosting unsuccessful Republican candidates, especially in Texas, where Tesla is based. Musk’s discontinuation of the Cybertruck may be seen, among other things, as political triage, a way of wiping his hands clean of a car that liberals have branded as the “Deplorean.”[Read: My day inside America’s most hated car]Still, it would be a mistake to remember the truck as nothing more than the apotheosis of two years of Trumpian (and Muskian) excess. The Cybertruck was a meme and a culture-war totem, but it was also just a car. And on that front, Musk’s… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - AI stocks climb after trillions wiped from market values
