THE 2026 MIDTERM FALLOUT CONTINUES — AND THREE NEW CONTROVERSIES ARE MAKING HEADLINES!

Republicans are still searching for answers after Democrats made major gains in the U.S. House, Senate and state elections across the country.

But the political shakeup isn't the only story we're following.

Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed is facing criticism over a heated confrontation with a British journalist, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced sweeping death sentence commutations, and South Carolina Republicans are dealing with major losses in the state House.

Welcome to Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson!

TODAY'S TOP STORIES

🇺🇸 1. THE 2026 BLUE WAVE: WHAT WENT WRONG FOR REPUBLICANS?

As election officials continue counting votes in close races, Republicans are evaluating their losses and Democrats are preparing to take control of Congress.

We'll examine the results, voter turnout, the political issues that shaped the election and what the changes could mean for President Trump's remaining two years in office.

What lessons can both parties take from the results? And how will Washington change when the new Congress convenes?

2. ABDUL EL-SAYED'S CONFRONTATION WITH A BRITISH JOURNALIST

Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed is drawing criticism after a tense Election Day exchange with Sky News correspondent James Matthews.

When Matthews attempted to ask questions, El-Sayed challenged him about whether he was registered to vote in Michigan and questioned why he should answer a journalist from the United Kingdom.

The encounter also included El-Sayed placing his hands on the reporter's shoulders.

Sky News has defended Matthews, saying he was carrying out his journalistic responsibilities.

We'll examine the video and discuss the relationship between elected officials, journalists and the public's right to ask questions.

3. GAVIN NEWSOM MOVES TO COMMUTE CALIFORNIA'S DEATH SENTENCES

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to commute the death sentences of all 548 people currently on the state's death row.

Their sentences would become life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Newsom argues that capital punishment is incompatible with California's values and that the death penalty system is unfair and unreliable.

Critics, including some victims' families, say the decision disregards the punishment imposed for serious crimes.

We'll examine the legal process, the reaction and what this decision could mean for California's criminal justice system.

4. SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE: REPUBLICAN INCUMBENTS DEFEATED

The political changes extend to Columbia, where ten Republican incumbents reportedly lost their South Carolina House seats in this week's election.

We'll examine the districts involved, the incoming lawmakers and what the changes could mean for the South Carolina General Assembly when it convenes in January.

How will these election results affect legislative priorities, state spending and the political balance in Columbia?

WHAT'S NEXT FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS?

The election is over, but the political fallout is just beginning!

Republicans have lost control of both the U.S. House and Senate, and the battle over the party's future is already taking shape.

Vice President JD Vance is delivering a pointed message about what went wrong, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is warning that the GOP suffered a devastating setback.

And here in South Carolina, Senator-elect Annie Andrews is outlining her priorities following her historic victory.

On today's Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson, we're examining the election results, the competing explanations for Republican losses, and what comes next as attention begins shifting toward 2028.

TODAY'S TOP STORIES

🇺🇸 1. JD VANCE AND THE ROAD TO 2028

Vice President JD Vance is reaching out to Republicans and Trump supporters who are frustrated with the direction of the country.

In a pointed assessment of the midterm results, Vance blamed the war in Iran for much of the Republican Party's losses.

He also identified concerns about inflation, the cost of living, America's foreign policy priorities and the U.S. relationship with Israel.

According to Fox News reporting, Vance is attempting to build support among a coalition described as the "new right."

Is this the beginning of the 2028 Republican presidential conversation?

And how will Vance balance loyalty to President Trump with his own political message?

2. RON DESANTIS WARNS REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE FUTURE

Outgoing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is delivering his own assessment of the election results.

DeSantis described the GOP's losses as approaching an "extinction-level event" for Republicans in parts of the country.

But he also argued that the results were more a rejection of Republicans in Washington than an endorsement of the Democratic Party's agenda.

We'll examine his comments and what they reveal about the debate developing within the Republican Party.

What went wrong for Republicans? Was it the economy, the Iran war, candidate selection, turnout or some combination of those factors?

And what changes might party leaders consider before the 2028 election?

3. SENATOR-ELECT ANNIE ANDREWS: THE WORK STARTS NOW

South Carolina's newly elected U.S. Senator Annie Andrews is already talking about her priorities in Washington.

Following her victory over Republican Darline Graham, Andrews held a news conference and spoke with reporters about what she hopes to accomplish.

Among her stated priorities are ending the war in Iran, lowering fuel prices and protecting Medicaid funding.

We'll examine her comments, the challenges she faces and how she intends to represent a state that has traditionally voted Republican in statewide elections.

What does her victory mean for South Carolina politics?

And how will she work with the state's congressional delegation and the incoming Democratic majority?

4. THE 2028 PRESIDENTIAL CONVERSATION BEGINS

With Democrats taking control of Congress, Republicans are confronting questions about the future of their party.

JD Vance, Ron DeSantis and other national Republicans are part of an emerging discussion about leadership, policy and the next presidential election.

We'll examine the different arguments being made about the GOP's direction without losing sight of the economic and national security issues facing Americans today.

DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF CONGRESS! THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS DELIVER A MAJOR POLITICAL SHAKEUP — INCLUDING A HISTORIC SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPSET.

The votes are in, and Washington is facing a dramatically different political landscape.

Democrats have won majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate, dealing Republicans a significant setback just two years after President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

And right here in South Carolina, Democrat Annie Andrews has defeated Republican Senator Darline Graham in one of the most closely watched races of the election.

On today's Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson, we're breaking down the results, examining what went wrong for Republicans, and discussing what the new balance of power means for President Trump.

PLUS: President Trump announced an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end approximately $4 billion in annual American military assistance to Israel. Why now, and what happens next?

TODAY'S TOP STORIES

🇺🇸 1. DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE AND SENATE

Democrats have captured both chambers of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections.

We'll examine the major races, unexpected Republican losses, voter concerns about the economy and what the election results mean for the final two years of Trump's presidency.

Could congressional investigations dominate Washington in 2027? What happens to Trump's legislative agenda? And will Democrats pursue another impeachment effort?

2. SOUTH CAROLINA'S HISTORIC SENATE UPSET

Democrat Annie Andrews has defeated Republican Senator Darline Graham, becoming the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from South Carolina since 1998.

We'll discuss the significance of this result, the role of voter turnout, Trump's campaign appearances and what the election means for South Carolina politics.

3. REPUBLICANS LOSE GROUND ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Republican candidates suffered major defeats in several states, including Texas, Ohio and Kansas.

We'll look at the races that helped determine control of the Senate and the House districts that changed hands.

What were voters trying to tell Washington? And what lessons might both political parties draw from the results?

4. TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO END U.S. AID TO ISRAEL

President Trump says he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached an agreement to end roughly $4 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel after 2026.

Trump argues that Israel has become economically strong enough to operate without the annual assistance.

But the existing aid arrangement runs through 2028, and questions remain about how the administration would implement the change.

We'll discuss the financial implications, the U.S.-Israel relationship and the political controversy surrounding the announcement.

5. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN WASHINGTON?

With Democrats preparing to control Congress, the next two years could bring major battles over government spending, immigration, judicial appointments, congressional oversight and the president's legislative priorities.

We'll look at the challenges facing both parties as attention begins turning toward the 2028 presidential election.

Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has crossed party lines to endorse Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race. And now a major national labor union leader has surprised political observers with an endorsement of another Republican Senate candidate.

Plus, a heartbreaking private jet crash in Florida has claimed nine lives, including two young children. We have the latest details as investigators work to determine what happened.

And today, we're bringing you two important South Carolina conversations: Senator Darline Graham joins Joey Hudson and Mike Gallagher, and Congresswoman Sheri Biggs discusses Election Day and the issues facing voters.

TODAY'S TOP STORIES

🇺🇸 1. ELECTION DAY SHOCKERS: TWO UNEXPECTED REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENTS

Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the state's closely watched U.S. Senate race.

Stevens's announcement has triggered a backlash among Democrats, highlighting divisions within the party over Israel and the direction of the Democratic Senate campaign.

Meanwhile, International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien, who describes himself as a lifelong Democrat, has endorsed Republican Senator Ashley Moody in Florida.

O'Brien praised Moody's work on union pensions and American jobs.

What do these endorsements reveal about the political divisions heading into Election Day? And how will voters respond?

2. FLORIDA PRIVATE JET CRASH: NINE LIVES LOST

A devastating Learjet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, has killed all nine people aboard.

Among the victims were Texas technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, their two young children, Emma and Charlie, their nanny, two family friends and both pilots.

The crash happened Sunday as the aircraft was traveling from Austin toward the Bahamas.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone grieving this loss.

A MAJOR CROSS-PARTY ENDORSEMENT IN MICHIGAN — AND A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO ALASKA'S UNUSUAL SENATE RACE — JUST HOURS BEFORE ELECTION DAY!

Welcome to Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson.

We're one day away from the November 3 midterm elections, and the final weekend of campaigning has produced some remarkable political developments.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN ENDORSES REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS

Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers over her own party's nominee, Abdul El-Sayed.

Stevens, who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed, appeared alongside Rogers at a Detroit church Sunday before publicly announcing her endorsement.

The decision followed a bitter disagreement within the Democratic Party involving campaign messaging, Israel and a planned unity appearance that fell apart.

We'll examine what Stevens said, how Democrats responded and why the controversy has become a major story in the final days of Michigan's Senate campaign.

ALASKA SENATE RACE: FBI INVESTIGATES ALLEGED DECEPTION

The unusual Alaska Senate race has taken another turn.

Federal investigators have reportedly contacted donors connected to a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, who shares a name with incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.

The investigation follows allegations that the second Sullivan candidacy may have been designed to confuse voters.

The New York Times previously reported on the circumstances surrounding the candidacy, and federal authorities have been examining whether any laws were broken.

We'll look at what investigators are reportedly asking, what remains unproven and why the controversy has raised questions about election administration.

ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW — WHAT SHOULD WE WATCH?

Americans head to the polls Tuesday, November 3, with control of the U.S. House and Senate at stake.

We'll discuss the races drawing national attention, the difference between early voting returns and Election Day results, and why some closely contested races may not be decided immediately.

We'll also look at what changes in congressional control could mean for legislation, investigations, federal spending and President Trump's agenda.

If you haven't voted, make sure you know where your polling place is located and what time it closes.

SPECIAL GUEST: CODY SIMPSON — SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER CANDIDATE

Republican nominee Cody Simpson joins us to discuss South Carolina agriculture and the November 3 election.

We'll talk about the responsibilities of the Commissioner of Agriculture and the issues facing South Carolina farmers, including rising operating costs, land development, labor availability and the future of family farms.

We'll also discuss Simpson's priorities for the department and how agricultural policy affects consumers throughout South Carolina.

NEW FEDERAL ELECTION INVESTIGATIONS, AN UNUSUAL ALASKA SENATE CONTROVERSY, AND FRESH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION — ALL AS PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

We're just days away from the November 3 midterm elections, and several new developments are making headlines.

ICE RELEASES NEW NAMES CONNECTED TO ELECTION-RELATED INVESTIGATIONS

The Daily Caller reports that federal immigration officials have identified 17 additional noncitizens connected to investigations involving alleged illegal voting or voter registration.

The allegations involve elections dating back several years and individuals with different immigration statuses, including lawful permanent residents.

Federal officials say they are working to enforce election laws and investigate suspected violations.

But it's important to distinguish accusations, arrests and criminal convictions. Not every person identified in the report has been convicted of an election-related offense.

We'll examine the cases, what federal officials have released and what the findings tell us about election-law enforcement.

ALASKA SENATE RACE: TWO CANDIDATES NAMED DAN SULLIVAN

The New York Times has reported that political operatives connected to Democratic candidate Mary Peltola helped recruit another candidate named Dan Sullivan to run in Alaska's U.S. Senate election.

Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan is seeking reelection against Peltola, while a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan is also on the ballot.

President Trump has accused Democrats of trying to confuse voters, and Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has called for an investigation.

Peltola's campaign denies involvement in the other Sullivan candidacy.

We'll examine what the Times reported, how Alaska's election system works and the legal questions surrounding the unusual situation.

ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION: DID FEDERAL SCRUTINY BEGIN UNDER OBAMA?

Fox News Digital reports that federal authorities began examining allegations concerning Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's former marriage and immigration history in 2016, during the Obama administration.

According to the report, a federal investigation was later closed in 2021 before renewed scrutiny under the Trump administration.

Omar has denied allegations that she married her brother or committed immigration fraud. The existence of an investigation does not establish that the accusations are true.

We'll discuss what the new reporting says about the investigation's history, what has been independently established and what questions remain unanswered.

PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS TO SOUTH CAROLINA

President Donald Trump was back in the Palmetto State Thursday, holding another campaign rally for Republican Senator Darline Graham.

This time, the president traveled to Rock Hill, where he spoke to supporters at the Rock Hill Sports & Event Center.

Trump has repeatedly emphasized his relationship with Graham's late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, and his support for her campaign.

We'll share highlights from the visit and discuss the final days of South Carolina's U.S. Senate contest between Graham and Democratic challenger Dr. Annie Andrews.

ELECTION DAY — TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE" WITH IRAN — AND THE PENTAGON IS PREPARING MILITARY OPTIONS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AFTER THE NOVEMBER 3 MIDTERM ELECTIONS.

Reports indicate U.S. military planners have developed options for renewed strikes against Iranian military targets, including missile and drone facilities.

American officials have also reportedly warned regional allies to prepare for the possibility of Iranian retaliation.

But President Trump has not announced a final decision to launch another operation.

We'll examine what the Pentagon is preparing, the potential consequences of another escalation and what could happen after Election Day.

ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION: JUDGE JAMES BOASBERG ENTERS THE PICTURE

The federal investigation involving Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has taken another turn, and the name of the judge involved may sound familiar.

Federal Judge James Boasberg is overseeing a dispute over whether the Justice Department should release the search warrant and supporting documents connected to the October 12 search of Omar's Washington, D.C., home.

A coalition of news organizations is seeking access to the documents, arguing that the public has an interest in understanding the basis for the investigation.

The Justice Department wants the records kept sealed while investigators continue reviewing evidence.

Omar denies wrongdoing and has characterized the investigation as politically motivated. No criminal charges against her have been announced.

We'll examine the court dispute, the competing arguments and what remains unknown about the investigation.

KAMALA HARRIS WARNS DEMOCRATS AGAINST IMPEACHING TRUMP

Here's a political development you might not have expected.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris says pursuing another impeachment of President Donald Trump would not be a good idea if Democrats regain control of Congress.

Harris argues that Democrats should focus on investigations, oversight and legislative priorities rather than spending time on impeachment proceedings that may not have the Senate votes needed for conviction.

We'll examine her comments, the difference between congressional oversight and impeachment, and what a change in control of Congress could mean for the administration.

SPECIAL GUEST: ROM REDDY — FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE

Former Republican candidate for South Carolina governor Rom Reddy joins us to discuss his experience in the GOP primary and why he has continued participating in Republican politics after his campaign ended.

We'll talk about the role former candidates can play in shaping policy, the challenges of party unity after competitive primaries and the possible consequences of a change in congressional control.

We'll also discuss what happens when candidates disagree with their party's nominee, how political coalitions are maintained and how election results can affect the legislative agenda in Washington.

ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

South Carolina early voting continues through Saturday, October 31.
