Bedminster Backdrop Could Decide the House Majority

In Bedminster, New Jersey, Rep. Tom Kean Jr. defends his 7th District seat as Democrats nominate Rebecca Bennett to challenge him, a marquee race tied to Trump’s lingering influence near his Bedminster golf course. The contest, viewed as one of the top battlegrounds this cycle, could determine control of the House, with Kean highlighting bipartisanship and Bennett accusing him of stock trades while both parties pour resources into the race amid recent district swings.

Jeffries-Kushner Talks Signal Possible Democratic Shift Ahead of Midterms

Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner in recent weeks, signaling that aides close to the president may be preparing for at least one chamber to flip to Democratic control as the midterms near. The discussions reportedly touched on housing, immigration and affordability, with Jeffries indicating Democrats are willing to work with Republicans—but only on their terms if they win. The White House did not comment publicly, and Kushner remains a key outside adviser.

Democrats Plot Sweeping Trump Probes If They Win the House

Democrats say a potential House majority would launch an extensive oversight drive against Donald Trump, his family and his administration, led by Rep. Garcia and Rep. Raskin, focusing on bribery, kickbacks, and financial wrongdoing. They flag probes into Trump’s use of a Qatar jet as Air Force One, the Trump family’s crypto investments, and perceived vindictive prosecutions of Comey and Letitia James, plus gaps in the Epstein investigation. The effort is intended to anchor the party’s accountability message for 2028 and keep impeachment as a toolbox option, while budget tactics like pocket rescissions could face scrutiny.

Trump presses Senate to back year-round daylight saving time after House vote

Trump urged Senate Republicans to advance the Sunshine Protection Act, the House-passed bill to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, arguing it ends clock changes and delivers health and energy benefits; supporters tout more evening sun, while critics warn northern states could face darker winter mornings, and the Senate faces a tight deadline to act before Congress adjourns.

Blue Dog-backed Democrat wins Wisconsin primary, signaling broader House battleground

NC GOP taps Balkcom to replace Edwards on ballot amid harassment allegations

A North Carolina GOP panel selected state Rep. Jennifer Balkcom to replace Rep. Chuck Edwards on the November ballot after Edwards dropped his re-election bid amid sexual harassment allegations. Balkcom, a Henderson County legislator, will face Democrat Jamie Ager as absentee ballots begin going out Sept. 4; her nomination was boosted by endorsements from figures like House Speaker Destin Hall. Edwards will serve out his term but will not seek another, a decision prompted by a House Ethics Committee finding substantial reason to believe he violated rules and his denial of wrongdoing. Ager, a farmer who outraised Edwards, had been rated Lean Republican by Cook Political Report prior to the ethics findings, signaling a potentially competitive race in a narrowly divided district.

Senate approves temporary funding to pause OMB grantmaking rule, sending decision to House

The Senate passed a 90-6 stopgap funding bill to fund federal agencies through Dec. 11 that includes language blocking the White House OMB from finalizing its controversial proposed grantmaking rule. The House must decide whether to adopt the Senate version; the House has produced a clean stopgap without the blocking language. The dispute centers on giving political appointees control over grant funding, with potential lawsuits looming and a crowded path forward as lawmakers weigh the implications for research grants.

Renacci Could Return to Congress If Miller Steps Aside

Former Rep. Jim Renacci told Axios he would consider another bid for Ohio’s House seat if Rep. Max Miller drops out amid abuse allegations and Republican pressure; Miller says he intends to stay, with Trump privately signaling the reelection would be tough. Renacci has name recognition and donor interest, and polling is being conducted to test viability. If Miller withdraws before Tuesday, a special primary would replace him; if he leaves after, party leaders have until Aug. 10 to pick a replacement.
