It’s Election Eve, and today’s 10 Minute Drill breaks down the biggest political stories before voters head to the polls.

🗳️ Election Preview: Trump delivers a major message to New Yorkers ahead of Tuesday’s vote — saying he’ll always pick a “bad Democrat” over a “communist.” Tight governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia could go either way, and California’s controversial Prop 50 has people asking why anyone would give Gavin Newsom more power.

🏛️ Shutdown Showdown: The government shutdown officially ties the longest in U.S. history — as Democrats struggle to explain what they’re fighting for. Trump calls out “extortion” on 60 Minutes, while a staggering 42 million Americans remain on food stamps amid new scrutiny of the program.

📊 Weekend Polls & 60 Minutes: CBS polling shows Trump and Republicans leading Democrats on immigration, safety, and the economy — key issues just before Election Day.

💥 Also in this episode:

  • Shady Swalwell: $360,000 in questionable payments and luxury travel raise fresh ethics concerns.

  • Maryland Judge Scandal: A politically charged Halloween display rocks a climate lawsuit.

  • Gavin Newsom: Compared on live TV to American Psycho — seriously.

Fast, sharp, and packed with insight — your Election Eve rundown starts here.
