In today's episode, we're breaking down the latest 2026 midterm election results, starting with the Mississippi Senate race. We'll explain the outstanding absentee and affidavit ballots, the deadlines election officials are working with, and the legal disputes surrounding the vote count. Then we'll head to Alaska, where two candidates are separated by a narrow margin, and ranked-choice voting could affect the final outcome. We'll also cover the latest results in the Kansas governor's race, California's billionaire tax ballot measure, and what happens next as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress in January.
PLUS, President Donald Trump has named Stephen Miller as his new White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles following Republicans' midterm losses. We're covering what we know about the leadership change, the recent resignations of senior Justice Department officials, and the congressional investigations that could be coming.
Then, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is moving forward with an effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. We'll break down the eight articles of impeachment, the allegations involving the war with Iran, what it would take for the House to impeach Hegseth, and why impeachment doesn't automatically mean removal from office.
And finally, NVIDIA has launched an independent investigation into whether its CEO, Jensen Huang, was targeted by a foreign intelligence operation following reports about his relationship with a woman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence. We're explaining who Alice Huang is, how NVIDIA's AI chips factor into U.S.-China relations, what Jensen Huang has publicly acknowledged, and what investigators are trying to determine.
We'll finish with Quick Hitters covering Trump's 60 Minutes interview, Gavin Newsom's plans to commute California death sentences, developments at Cornell University, Joe Biden's health update, and the Justice Department's renewed investigation into the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision leak. All of that, plus Critical Thinking, on today's episode of UNBIASED Politics.
