The Washington Stand�s Casey Harperreports on news surrounding former Democratic Senate Candidate Haley Steven�s endorsement of Republican candidate Mike Rogers, President Trump�s speech at the D.C. Reflecting Pool before the midterm elections, and the expiration of the Ukraine ceasefire.

Keith Self, U.S. Representative for Texas�s 3rd District, explores the rationale behind Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens�s controversial endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed�s criticism of legislative efforts to ban Sharia Law in America, and his consistent anti-Israel positions.

Brent Keilen, FRC�s Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, delves into what pollsters are saying about the midterm elections, assesses key races, encourages voters not to become complacent because of disheartening projections, and to get out and vote.

Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, discusses the ongoing war with Russia, President Trump's efforts to negotiate a ceasefire, First Lady Melania Trump's humanitarian involvement, and allegations of religious persecution in Ukraine.

Matt Carpenter, Director of FRC Action, and Casey Harper, Managing Editor for Broadcast at The Washington Stand and Host of the �Outstanding� podcast, preview ballot initiatives ahead of the midterm elections, offer a reminder of FRC Action resources to consider when voting, and reiterate why our votes matter during historically close elections.
