EXCERPT:
With the post-midterm lame duck congressional session ongoing, there is not much in the way of news regarding bill passage. The NBC Nightly News sought to remediate this by reporting on the Republican leadership elections. In so doing, they made a major omission of the war brewing on the other side of the aisle.
Watch the brief on Republican leadership elections in its entirety, as aired on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. And then watch for what gets left out.

TOM LLAMAS: And there’s another major development there in Washington tonight, a shakeup in Republican leadership. Ryan Nobles joins us now live. Ryan, this all comes following that GOP wipeout in the midterms.
RYAN NOBLES: Yeah that’s right, Tom. Republicans are looking to regroup with Democrats set to take control. In the House, Republicans picked the former Freedom Caucus chair Jim Jordan as their new leader. On the Senate side, the top Republican, John Thune, kept his job. All of this as two key races have not been called. Today was the deadline in Mississippi for absentee and mail in ballots to be received. The Democrat, Scott Colom, has a narrow lead. And in Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola has a narrow lead over the Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. Peltola’s campaign, of course, facing a criminal investigation that they recruited another Dan Sullivan to run in this race. Tom.
LLAMAS: Ryan Nobles for us. Ryan, thank you.
