A MAJOR CROSS-PARTY ENDORSEMENT IN MICHIGAN — AND A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO ALASKA'S UNUSUAL SENATE RACE — JUST HOURS BEFORE ELECTION DAY!

Welcome to Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson.

We're one day away from the November 3 midterm elections, and the final weekend of campaigning has produced some remarkable political developments.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN ENDORSES REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS

Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens has endorsed Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers over her own party's nominee, Abdul El-Sayed.

Stevens, who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed, appeared alongside Rogers at a Detroit church Sunday before publicly announcing her endorsement.

The decision followed a bitter disagreement within the Democratic Party involving campaign messaging, Israel and a planned unity appearance that fell apart.

We'll examine what Stevens said, how Democrats responded and why the controversy has become a major story in the final days of Michigan's Senate campaign.

ALASKA SENATE RACE: FBI INVESTIGATES ALLEGED DECEPTION

The unusual Alaska Senate race has taken another turn.

Federal investigators have reportedly contacted donors connected to a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan, who shares a name with incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.

The investigation follows allegations that the second Sullivan candidacy may have been designed to confuse voters.

The New York Times previously reported on the circumstances surrounding the candidacy, and federal authorities have been examining whether any laws were broken.

We'll look at what investigators are reportedly asking, what remains unproven and why the controversy has raised questions about election administration.

ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW — WHAT SHOULD WE WATCH?

Americans head to the polls Tuesday, November 3, with control of the U.S. House and Senate at stake.

We'll discuss the races drawing national attention, the difference between early voting returns and Election Day results, and why some closely contested races may not be decided immediately.

We'll also look at what changes in congressional control could mean for legislation, investigations, federal spending and President Trump's agenda.

If you haven't voted, make sure you know where your polling place is located and what time it closes.

SPECIAL GUEST: CODY SIMPSON — SOUTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER CANDIDATE

Republican nominee Cody Simpson joins us to discuss South Carolina agriculture and the November 3 election.

We'll talk about the responsibilities of the Commissioner of Agriculture and the issues facing South Carolina farmers, including rising operating costs, land development, labor availability and the future of family farms.

We'll also discuss Simpson's priorities for the department and how agricultural policy affects consumers throughout South Carolina.

NEW FEDERAL ELECTION INVESTIGATIONS, AN UNUSUAL ALASKA SENATE CONTROVERSY, AND FRESH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION — ALL AS PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

We're just days away from the November 3 midterm elections, and several new developments are making headlines.

ICE RELEASES NEW NAMES CONNECTED TO ELECTION-RELATED INVESTIGATIONS

The Daily Caller reports that federal immigration officials have identified 17 additional noncitizens connected to investigations involving alleged illegal voting or voter registration.

The allegations involve elections dating back several years and individuals with different immigration statuses, including lawful permanent residents.

Federal officials say they are working to enforce election laws and investigate suspected violations.

But it's important to distinguish accusations, arrests and criminal convictions. Not every person identified in the report has been convicted of an election-related offense.

We'll examine the cases, what federal officials have released and what the findings tell us about election-law enforcement.

ALASKA SENATE RACE: TWO CANDIDATES NAMED DAN SULLIVAN

The New York Times has reported that political operatives connected to Democratic candidate Mary Peltola helped recruit another candidate named Dan Sullivan to run in Alaska's U.S. Senate election.

Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan is seeking reelection against Peltola, while a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan is also on the ballot.

President Trump has accused Democrats of trying to confuse voters, and Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy has called for an investigation.

Peltola's campaign denies involvement in the other Sullivan candidacy.

We'll examine what the Times reported, how Alaska's election system works and the legal questions surrounding the unusual situation.

ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION: DID FEDERAL SCRUTINY BEGIN UNDER OBAMA?

Fox News Digital reports that federal authorities began examining allegations concerning Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's former marriage and immigration history in 2016, during the Obama administration.

According to the report, a federal investigation was later closed in 2021 before renewed scrutiny under the Trump administration.

Omar has denied allegations that she married her brother or committed immigration fraud. The existence of an investigation does not establish that the accusations are true.

We'll discuss what the new reporting says about the investigation's history, what has been independently established and what questions remain unanswered.

PRESIDENT TRUMP RETURNS TO SOUTH CAROLINA

President Donald Trump was back in the Palmetto State Thursday, holding another campaign rally for Republican Senator Darline Graham.

This time, the president traveled to Rock Hill, where he spoke to supporters at the Rock Hill Sports & Event Center.

Trump has repeatedly emphasized his relationship with Graham's late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, and his support for her campaign.

We'll share highlights from the visit and discuss the final days of South Carolina's U.S. Senate contest between Graham and Democratic challenger Dr. Annie Andrews.

ELECTION DAY — TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

South Carolina early voting continues through Saturday, October 31.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE" WITH IRAN — AND THE PENTAGON IS PREPARING MILITARY OPTIONS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AFTER THE NOVEMBER 3 MIDTERM ELECTIONS.

Reports indicate U.S. military planners have developed options for renewed strikes against Iranian military targets, including missile and drone facilities.

American officials have also reportedly warned regional allies to prepare for the possibility of Iranian retaliation.

But President Trump has not announced a final decision to launch another operation.

We'll examine what the Pentagon is preparing, the potential consequences of another escalation and what could happen after Election Day.

ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION: JUDGE JAMES BOASBERG ENTERS THE PICTURE

The federal investigation involving Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has taken another turn, and the name of the judge involved may sound familiar.

Federal Judge James Boasberg is overseeing a dispute over whether the Justice Department should release the search warrant and supporting documents connected to the October 12 search of Omar's Washington, D.C., home.

A coalition of news organizations is seeking access to the documents, arguing that the public has an interest in understanding the basis for the investigation.

The Justice Department wants the records kept sealed while investigators continue reviewing evidence.

Omar denies wrongdoing and has characterized the investigation as politically motivated. No criminal charges against her have been announced.

We'll examine the court dispute, the competing arguments and what remains unknown about the investigation.

KAMALA HARRIS WARNS DEMOCRATS AGAINST IMPEACHING TRUMP

Here's a political development you might not have expected.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris says pursuing another impeachment of President Donald Trump would not be a good idea if Democrats regain control of Congress.

Harris argues that Democrats should focus on investigations, oversight and legislative priorities rather than spending time on impeachment proceedings that may not have the Senate votes needed for conviction.

We'll examine her comments, the difference between congressional oversight and impeachment, and what a change in control of Congress could mean for the administration.

SPECIAL GUEST: ROM REDDY — FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE

Former Republican candidate for South Carolina governor Rom Reddy joins us to discuss his experience in the GOP primary and why he has continued participating in Republican politics after his campaign ended.

We'll talk about the role former candidates can play in shaping policy, the challenges of party unity after competitive primaries and the possible consequences of a change in congressional control.

We'll also discuss what happens when candidates disagree with their party's nominee, how political coalitions are maintained and how election results can affect the legislative agenda in Washington.

ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3

South Carolina early voting continues through Saturday, October 31.

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

SOUTH CAROLINA'S U.S. SENATE RACE IS SEPARATED BY JUST ONE POINT IN A NEW POLL — AND A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN RALPH NORMAN IS MAKING NATIONAL HEADLINES.

The South Carolina Policy Council's newly released Fall 2026 Poll shows Republican Senator Darline Graham at 47% and Democratic challenger Dr. Annie Andrews at 46%, with other candidates and undecided voters accounting for the remainder.

The poll surveyed 895 likely voters for the election questions, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.21 percentage points.

We'll discuss what these numbers tell us — and what they don't — as South Carolina prepares for the November 3 election.

RALPH NORMAN PUSHES BACK AGAINST TRUMP OVER DARLINE GRAHAM

Congressman Ralph Norman is criticizing President Trump's involvement in the South Carolina Senate contest.

Norman, who lost the Republican runoff to Graham earlier this year, says he will not campaign for her during the final week before Election Day.

He argues that South Carolina voters should not be pressured to support a candidate simply because the president endorsed her.

Other Republicans have called for party unity, while Trump has continued campaigning on Graham's behalf.

We'll examine the disagreement, the candidates' campaigns and the implications for South Carolina's Republican Party.

175 HOUSE DEMOCRATS CHALLENGE THE ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION

A group of 175 House Democrats, led by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, is calling on the Trump administration to stop what they describe as a politically motivated investigation of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

The lawmakers sent a letter to federal officials criticizing the October 12 search of Omar's Washington, D.C., home and raising concerns about investigative actions so close to an election.

Omar has denied allegations of immigration fraud.

The lawmakers say the investigation raises questions about the use of federal law enforcement against political opponents. Supporters of the investigation argue that credible allegations should be examined regardless of a person's elected position.

We'll discuss the letter, the legal questions and what remains unknown about the investigation.

ISRAEL VOTES — BUT WHO WILL FORM THE NEXT GOVERNMENT?

Israelis have voted in a national election, but choosing the country's next government involves a process very different from an American presidential election.

Israel has a parliamentary system with 120 seats in the Knesset. A governing coalition generally needs the support of at least 61 members.

Early election results indicate that neither major political bloc has an outright majority.

We'll explain how coalition negotiations work, the roles of Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, and why it could take weeks or even months before a new government is formed.

SPECIAL GUEST: ROBERT CARTHCART — SOUTH CAROLINA POLICY COUNCIL

Robert Carthcart joins us to discuss the organization's newly released statewide poll.

We'll examine:

The 47%–46% Senate race.

How the survey was conducted and what the margin of error means.

The importance of undecided voters and smaller-party candidates.

Why cost of living and inflation rank so highly among voter concerns.

What the results reveal about attitudes toward South Carolina's political leadership.
