Democrats Sweep 2026 Midterms as Voters Punish Trump on Costs and War

  By LookAlive    WASHINGTON — Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress and expanded their hold on governorships in the 2026 midterm elections, turning voter frustration over living costs and the war with Iran into a broad rejection of President Donald Trump’s second term.   The party secured a 54–44 Senate majority after flipping seats in Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina, South Carolina and Iowa — states that had long leaned Republican. In the House, Democrats won at least 228 seats, enough to end the Republican majority and install Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as the likely next Speaker. Democrats also gained governorships, including Georgia, Texas, Ohio and Iowa, and were on track to hold 28 state executives.   The results amount to a sharp reset of Washington’s power balance two years before the next presidential race. With Congress in Democratic hands, the party can block Republican legislation, open investigations into the administration and fo...

Opoku Prempeh's Nkrumah Slur Ignites Fresh Political Firestorm

-


The simmering political landscape in Ghana has been reignited by controversial remarks made by the NPP's vice presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, about Ghana's founding father, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Opoku Prempeh's assertion that no Ghanaian leader, including Nkrumah, has matched President Akufo-Addo's developmental strides has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters.

Sekou Nkrumah, the son of the iconic independence leader, has led the charge against the NPP's second-in-command,dismissing his comments as a desperate attempt to pander to the party's base. The younger Nkrumah, in a scathing rebuke,argued that his father's legacy transcends partisan politics and that such disparaging remarks are not only disrespectful but also historically inaccurate.

Nkrumah's enduring impact on Ghana, particularly in infrastructure development and the nation's path to independence, is undeniable. The Akosombo Dam, a monumental project spearheaded by Nkrumah, remains a testament to his visionary leadership. Critics argue that subsequent governments have failed to build upon this legacy, and Opoku Prempeh's comments appear to be an attempt to rewrite history.

The NPP's justification for such a bold claim remains unclear, and it is likely to face intense scrutiny in the coming days.The opposition NDC has wasted no time in capitalizing on the situation, portraying the NPP as a party that is out of touch with the nation's history and aspirations.




As the political temperature rises, it is evident that the Nkrumah legacy continues to be a potent force in Ghanaian politics. Whether Opoku Prempeh's comments will damage the NPP's electoral prospects remains to be seen, but they have undoubtedly opened a new chapter in the ongoing battle for the hearts and minds of the Ghanaian electorate.

Maduro was transported under heavy security to a federal courthouse in New York for an initial court appearance. The development marks a rare and significant moment in international criminal proceedings involving a sitting head of state. Background to the Case U.S. prosecutors accuse Maduro of involvement in drug trafficking and related criminal conspiracies. The charges stem from indictments first announced several years ago, alleging that senior Venezuelan officials participated in large-scale cocaine trafficking operations targeting the United States and other international destinations. The case had remained inactive due to Maduro’s position in power and the lack of extradition until his reported arrest. Court Proceedings During the initial appearance, procedural matters wer...
