Republicans Had the Power. Voters Say They Wasted It.
In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben delivers a detailed post-election breakdown of the 2026 midterms, examining exit poll data, demographic movement, voter dissatisfaction, Trump's approval numbers, the political impact of the Iran conflict, shifting support among young and Hispanic voters, and the lessons Republicans must learn if they hope to rebuild the coalition that powered Trump's 2024 victory. Republicans suffered major setbacks in the 2026 midterm elections, but what actually drove voters to the polls? Ben Ferguson dives into exit poll data, voter trends, and demographic shifts to identify the key reasons behind the GOP's losses and what conservatives must learn before 2028. According to the polling and post-election analysis discussed in this episode, concerns about affordability, rising costs, and economic insecurity overwhelmingly shaped voter behavior. Voters who once backed Donald Trump and Republican candidates shifted away from the party after concluding that their economic concerns were not being addressed. Ferguson also argues that the conflict with Iran amplified those worries by linking foreign policy decisions to household financial pressure, especially gas prices and cost-of-living concerns. Topics Covered: Exit poll findings on affordability, inflation, and cost-of-living concerns How the Iran conflict became tied to voter economic anxiety Major demographic shifts among young voters, Latino voters, suburban voters, and independents The relationship between Donald Trump's approval ratings and down-ballot Republican losses Comparisons between the 2026 Republican losses and the Democrats' 2010 midterm defeat Why retaining Trump-era swing voters requires ongoing engagement and delivery on policy promises Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Bloodbath: What Happened, Why & Where on Earth Do We Go from Here?
In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz breaks down the stunning 2026 election results, analyze the economic and political forces that fueled voter anger, discuss the constituencies Republicans lost, and outline what Cruz believes conservatives must do to rebuild support among working-class voters, young people, rural communities, evangelicals, and Hispanics. They also discuss the policy battles they expect to emerge in Texas and Washington over taxes, energy, AI investment, border security, and the direction of the country during the next two years. The 2026 midterm elections delivered what Senator Ted Cruz calls a political “blue tsunami,” reshaping the balance of power in Washington and turning Texas blue for the first time in decades. After sweeping Democratic victories across the country, Cruz examines what happened, why Republican voters abandoned GOP candidates, and what the results could mean for the future of Texas and the nation. In a special edition of the podcast, Cruz offers his candid assessment of a devastating election cycle that saw Republicans lose the House, the Senate, multiple traditionally conservative states, and every statewide race in Texas. He argues the outcome was driven less by turnout and more by widespread voter frustration over affordability, cost of living pressures, economic insecurity, and dissatisfaction with Republican leadership. Topics Covered: The scale of the 2026 Democratic sweep in Congress and across key states Why cost of living and economic anxiety dominated voter concerns Republicans’ losses among blue-collar voters, Hispanics, young voters, and rural communities The future of Texas after Democrats win statewide offices Battles over energy policy, AI investment, taxes, and economic growth Ted Cruz’s strategy for opposing Democratic policies while rebuilding the conservative coalition Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Election Earthquake: Republicans Routed in Historic Blue Wave
In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben reacts to the early election results and assess what they describe as a historic setback for Republicans. They examine key races across the country, discuss what preliminary exit-poll data suggests about voter priorities, and analyze the role of economic concerns, inflation, gasoline prices, the conflict with Iran, and President Trump's approval ratings. They also debate what Democratic control of Congress could mean for investigations, legislative battles, and the future direction of the Democratic Party. A stunning special election reshapes the American political landscape. With Democrats projected to take control of the U.S. Senate and positioned to regain the House, longtime Republican strongholds delivered results few political observers expected, including major losses in Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, Ohio, and North Carolina. The biggest shock came in Texas, where Republicans suffered defeats in both the U.S. Senate race and the governor's race, signaling a dramatic shift in a state long considered a Republican fortress. As the results continue to come in, the implications for both parties could be far-reaching. Topics Covered: Democrats secure control of the U.S. Senate and target the House majority Historic Republican losses in Texas, including statewide races Key Democratic victories in South Carolina, Kansas, Ohio, and North Carolina Exit-poll data on inflation, household finances, and voter dissatisfaction The political impact of the conflict with Iran and rising energy costs What divided government and Democratic control could mean for Washington Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Dead Voters, ICE Arrests and Trump’s Last-Minute All-Out American Surge
In this episode of the Ben Ferguson Show Podcast, Ben discusses federal investigations involving alleged non-citizen voting, recent enforcement actions announced by federal agencies, ongoing debates over voter identification and proof-of-citizenship requirements, and allegations regarding voter registration records in key states. They examine reports from election-integrity advocates, the legal and policy questions surrounding voter-roll maintenance, and why they believe these issues should matter to voters on Election Day. As Americans head to the polls on Election Day 2026, new federal cases involving non-citizens accused of voting illegally are fueling a broader debate over election integrity, voter eligibility, and how states maintain voter registration records. The episode focuses on recent announcements from the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Department of Justice regarding arrests, investigations, and criminal charges involving foreign nationals accused of participating in U.S. elections. The discussion also examines claims about voter registration databases in California and Michigan, including allegations involving deceased registrants, duplicate registrations, and unusually old voter records. The central question is whether current election safeguards are sufficient to ensure that only eligible citizens vote and that voter rolls remain accurate. The conversation argues that election integrity should remain a top concern for voters and policymakers alike.
