The far-right Alternative for Germany is projected to win a strong victory in a regional election. But it wasn’t immediately clear Sunday whether it will be able to fulfill its ambition of forming the country’s first far-right state government since World War II. The party of German’s unpopular leader Chancellor Friedrich Merz was set for a disastrous result in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt. Alternative for Germany or AfD went into the vote in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt seeking an absolute majority in the state legislature to govern on its own. That would overcome the so-called firewall of mainstream parties’ refusal to work with it.

Turning Point Action activists made waves at the Iowa State Fair by heckling Democratic politicians. Videos of these confrontations have gained significant attention online. But Turning Point Action staff are busy registering voters and promoting social events, a test of its ability to shape the next Republican presidential primary in 2028. The organization is focusing on building a foundation for the Iowa caucuses, aiming to have staff in each of Iowa's 99 counties. This effort is not tied to any specific candidate, but Vice President JD Vance, endorsed by Erika Kirk, could benefit if he launches a bid.

Adam Hamilton is the founder of the nation's largest United Methodist church, and he's attempting to pull off an unusual balancing act in running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate. Hamilton peppers his campaign remarks with biblical references but also tells voters that he does not plan to use a Senate seat to win more converts. Incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall and the GOP argue that Hamilton is too liberal. Hamilton counters that if Jesus were here today, Marshall would call him “woke.” Only a few ordained ministers have served in the Senate in the past 100 years.

Vice President JD Vance has spoken at the annual gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Monday's appearance was an opportunity for him to assuage concerns among conservative Jewish activists about his views toward Israel and his association with controversial figures like Tucker Carlson. The event in Las Vegas, which was closed to the news media, came at an extraordinarily sensitive time for Jewish Americans and the U.S. relationship with Israel. Some attendees said Vance left a positive impression. Concerns about antisemitism have surged across the political spectrum ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans are eager to portray Democrats as hostile toward Jews and Israel, but they’re also dealing with their own internal schisms.
