Democratic Senator Adam Schiff stated on Sunday that former President Donald Trump intends to subvert the results of the 2026 midterm elections if Republicans lose seats in Congress. Simultaneously, the East Coast braced for a major arctic blast, with millions of Americans under alert for dangerous cold. In other news, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted a strong 2026 for the US economy as the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a historic milestone, while Keir Starmer's chief of staff resigned after recommending an Epstein-connected ambassador.
Senator Schiff, speaking on ABC News' "This Week," expressed his concerns about Trump's intentions. "I think Trump intends to try to subvert the elections," Schiff said. He added that Trump was "prepared to try to take some kind of action to overturn the result, and we really shouldn't question that." These remarks followed Trump's continued rhetoric surrounding the 2020 election results, which he has falsely claimed were stolen.
Meanwhile, nearly 80 million people across the East Coast were under alert for a major arctic blast, according to ABC News. Extreme Cold Warnings were in effect across much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Wind chills were already down to frigid levels from the Great Lakes to the Carolinas early Saturday, with even lower numbers expected.
On the economic front, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted a blockbuster 2026 for the US economy, as reported by Fox News. He pointed to cooling inflation and record market highs as signs that "Main Street is about to prosper." Bessent described the current market trends as reflecting growing confidence in President Donald Trump's policies, which he said had "set the table" for economic gains in 2026. The Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting the 50,000 milestone was a key indicator of this growth.
In international news, Keir Starmer's chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, resigned on Sunday. McSweeney stepped down amid criticism over his role in advising the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States. In a resignation statement obtained by The Guardian, McSweeney said the decision to appoint Mandelson was "wrong" and accepted full responsibility for recommending it, calling his departure the "only honourable course" under the circumstances.
