Texans are ready for change." No clear winner in Israeli election but Netanyahu looks far from defeated, NBC News reports. President Donald Trump and Democrat James Talarico held dueling rallies in deep-red Lubbock, with photos and reports indicating that both events drew thousands of supporters, Newsweek reports. Yesterday’s dueling rallies in the city, which has a population of less than 300,000, underscored the high stakes in a Senate race that could see the Republican Party lose its grip on Texas, NBC News reports. Trump carried Lubbock County by 40 points in 2024, and the county has not voted for a Democratic president since 1964, Newsweek reports. With one week until Election Day, Trump was in Texas for the fourth time since Labor Day—a reflection of how close the Senate race is in a reliably red state where a Democrat has not won statewide office since 1994. Trump increased his share of Hispanic voters in each successive election since 2016, garnering the highest percentage ever for a Republican presidential candidate in 2024, according to exit polls, CBC News reports. CBC News reports that yet the very issues that drove Hispanic support for Trump in 2024 — reducing the cost of living and tightening border security — could be the ones that hurt the Republicans in the 2026 midterms. According to CBC News, Mario Guerrero, a developer who voted for Trump three times because he considered him a very successful businessman, says immigration enforcement is one of the key reasons he'll vote Democrat on the midterm ballot. And a new CDC report warns of rising threat of drug-resistant germs, NBC News reports. The venue’s ballroom accommodates up to 2,600 people, and KAMC reporter Jen Phillips reported that officials were planning to stretch capacity to 3,000, Newsweek reports. Newsweek reports that the survey was conducted among 1,000 registered voters from October 13 to 21. According to Newsweek, the Texas Tribune reported that the line for the event spanned several city blocks.
