Leo XIV has shown his interest in Illinois politics previously. In 2011, when he was Rev. Robert Prevost, he personally messaged the then Governor of Illinois Pat Quinn to thank him for abolishing capital punishment in Illinois, Prevost’s home state.
He met JB Pritzker, a candidate for Illinois governor, in the Vatican in November 2025.

NEW: We obtained conversational AI robocalls from a Musk-backed PAC targeting James Talarico in Texas. The AI calls attack him in part over… data centers. Talarico’s campaign tells us Paxton’s “only volunteers” willing to call voters are “AI robots.”

We'll see, but the polls out of Texas are earthquake stuff.
No TX Dem has polled as well as Talarico at the end of a Senate campaign since 1988.
No TX GOP Sen nominee in the 2000s has been as unpopular as Paxton.
Trump's the most unpopular GOP pres pre-midterm in the 2000s.
President Donald Trump "rushed into a war with a whole bunch of false assumptions that have made life more expensive and dangerous for people all over the world."
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry tells CNN's @amanpour at CNN's Global Perspectives in Doha.

What a treat to have @CNN's main election panel on @CNNTheStoryIs with just days to go in the midterm race.
Here's the full debate between @VanJones68 & @ScottJenningsKY on Trump vs Obama, "dirty tricks" in Alaska's Senate race & the battle for black voters in Michigan:
New CNN polling across four key Senate races in the final days of the midterm campaign finds Democrats well-positioned in Michigan and Texas, with no clear leader in the races in Maine or Kansas.

I'm doing something this week that I don't think CNN has ever done. I'm hosting a 7+ hour livestream EVERY day as we drive through battleground states, meet voters/candidates and just have fun with local unique activities. It's part travel show, part food show, part politics. We're starting with Pennsylvania, Ohio, then Michigan. Send through any ideas of places to go!! Streaming 10a-5p every day, first two hours Monday on YouTube, the rest on the CNN app.
