The Midterm Elections at Cornell

The 2026 midterm elections continue to show how Tompkins County stands out from the rest of upstate New York.

The biggest winner of the nationwide blue wave has been Day Hall.  Finally, a story has emerged with sufficient media magnitude to sweep the “Cornell 7” story out of the headlines.

At many rallies, including the October 9 rally in Syracuse, President Trump asked the voters to vote as if he was on the ballot. In response to the election results, President Trump posted,  “I wasn’t on the ballot, and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday evening. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” President Trump also denied blame for specific races such as the re-election bid of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. President Trump posted on Truth Social, “If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty! President Donald J. Trump.”
