福克斯新闻主持人格雷格·古特菲德与嘉宾小组讨论了前第一夫人若为男性是否会赢得总统大选的话题。

克林顿夫妇再度投身中期选举竞选活动——比尔·克林顿前往佛罗里达州为民主党州长候选人戴维·乔利造势，希拉里·克林顿则通过播客发声，助力民主党为选举日发起最后冲刺。
这位前总统计划于10月20日为乔利进行2026年选举周期的首次公开竞选活动，乔利曾是共和党国会议员，现已转投民主党。与此同时，希拉里已与记者卡拉·斯威舍合作推出一档聚焦中期选举的全新播客系列，并亲自开展竞选活动。
此番举动让民主党两位最具辨识度的人物投身中期选举战场，而民主党内部正就未来发展方向争论不休，人们不禁质疑，在进步派候选人挑战民主党建制派的当下，克林顿夫妇仍拥有多大影响力。

尽管克林顿夫妇在民主党政坛仍颇具影响力，但一位民主党战略师表示，民主党更关注赢得选举，而非重温党的过往。
“克林顿总统仍是美国有史以来最具天赋的政治沟通者之一，尤其是在关乎工薪阶层选民的核心经济议题上与他们建立联结方面，”民主党战略师凯文·沃林说道，“但我认为，民主党并不寻求‘克林顿复辟’——他们正在寻找一条重新赢得选举的道路。”
民主党战略师马利·史密斯则对克林顿夫妇在选举最后几周的影响力持更为怀疑的态度。
“希拉里和比尔对部分选民仍有影响力。不过，他们的作用大多局限于面向民主党基本盘和深度参与政治的群体，”史密斯表示，“当前媒体环境竞争激烈，想要脱颖而出十分困难，即便现任民选官员，更不用说前公职人员，都很难吸引民众的注意力。”
克林顿10月20日的活动将在佛罗里达州好莱坞的一场跨信仰活动中举行，他将与乔利一同亮相。乔利将与共和党众议员拜伦·唐纳兹竞争，以接替任期将满的州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯。
乔利的竞选纲领围绕民生 affordability，包括通过州立灾难基金降低财产保险成本、扩大医疗补助覆盖范围、增加公立学校拨款以及保护堕胎权。
与此同时，希拉里·克林顿于周六前往内布拉斯加州奥马哈市，在一场“南瓜、馅饼与政治”筹款活动中为民主党候选人林恩·沃尔兹和丹尼斯·鲍威尔拉票。

被问及如何回应那些认为自己的投票不再重要的民主党选民时，希拉里指出了一系列导致选民不满的全国性危机，其中包括她2016年的大选失利。
“你可以理解，对于那些经历了一连串艰难时刻的人来说，这种感受是真实的。回顾我国过去25年，我在9·11事件时任纽约州参议员，那是一场创伤。2008年那场可怕的金融危机对民众而言是场噩梦。2016年的大选引发了诸多疑问，我们至今仍在试图弄清楚当时到底发生了什么，随后又遭遇了新冠疫情，”她在内布拉斯加州的活动中说道。
希拉里与记者兼播客主持人卡拉·斯威舍合作推出了一档为期六周的限定系列播客《高风险》，该节目于10月14日首播，将每周更新至11月中旬，聚焦2026年中期选举、关键国会选区竞选及相关议题。
周三播出的首期节目围绕汽油、食品杂货和医疗保健成本上涨、埃隆·马斯克的政治开支展开，探讨民主党如何将保障民生作为制胜口号，同时分析密歇根州和缅因州的关键参议院席位竞选。

“如果前总统能帮助民主党在佛罗里达州这样充满挑战的州开展竞争，而克林顿国务卿的播客能推动一场有实质意义的全国性对话，激励我们政党的支持者，那无疑是件好事，”沃林说道。
克林顿夫妇的曝光度提升之际，美国民主社会主义者-backed 候选人在科罗拉多州、纽约州和密歇根州等州击败现任议员或建制派支持的民主党人，赢得党内初选。
“民主党面临的挑战是，既要汲取政党过往的智慧和经验，又不能盖过将定义政党未来的下一代领导人的光芒，”他补充道。

Bill and Hillary Clinton make eleventh-hour midterm moves as party’s old guard faces new reality

‘Gutfeld!’ ponders if Hillary Clinton would’ve won if she were a man
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the panel discuss claims that the former first lady would have won the presidential race if she were a man.

The Clintons are back on the midterm campaign circuit — with Bill Clinton heading to Florida to stump for Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly and Hillary Clinton taking to the podcast microphone as the party makes its final push toward Election Day.
The former president is scheduled to make his first public campaign appearance of the 2026 election cycle on Oct. 20 for Jolly, a former Republican congressman turned Democrat. Hillary, meanwhile, has teamed up with journalist Kara Swisher for a new midterm-focused podcast series and has been making campaign appearances of her own.
The moves bring two of the Democratic Party’s most recognizable figures into the midterm fight as the party grapples with competing visions for its future, raising questions about how much influence the Clintons still wield as progressive candidates challenge the Democratic establishment.

While the Clintons remain prominent in Democratic politics, one party strategist says Democrats are more focused on winning elections than revisiting the party’s past.
“President Clinton remains one of the most gifted political communicators this country has ever known, particularly when it comes to connecting with working-class voters on the economic issues that matter most,” said Democratic strategist Kevin Walling. “But I don’t believe that Democrats are looking for a Clinton restoration — they’re looking for a path back to winning.”
Democratic strategist Mally Smith offered a more skeptical assessment of how much reach the Clintons have in the closing weeks of the election.
“Hillary and Bill are still relevant to some voters. However, they will mostly be useful in speaking to the Democratic base and those who are highly engaged in politics,” said Smith. “It is a hard media environment to breakthrough and even current elected officials, let alone former office holders, will struggle to get people’s attention.”
Clinton’s Oct. 20 appearance will take place at an interfaith event in Hollywood, Florida, alongside Jolly, who is facing Republican Rep. Byron Donalds in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Jolly is campaigning on affordability, including lowering property insurance costs through a state-backed catastrophe fund, expanding Medicaid, increasing funding for public schools and protecting abortion rights.
Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, traveled to Omaha, Nebraska, on Saturday to rally support for Democratic candidates Lynne Walz and Denise Powell at a “Pumpkins, Pies, and Politics” fundraiser.

Asked how she would address Democrats who feel their votes no longer matter, Clinton pointed to a series of national crises that have contributed to voter frustration — including her 2016 election loss.
“And you could kind of understand that, for people who feel like they’ve had a series of hard times. If you look back on the last 25 years in our country, I was a senator from New York on 9/11. That was a trauma. The terrible financial crisis of 2008 was horrific for people. We had an election in 2016 that, you know, raised a lot of questions that we’re still trying to find answers for about what, what kind of really went on, and then we had COVID,” she said during the Nebraska event.
Clinton teamed up with journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher for a six-week limited series titled “High Stakes,” which debuted Oct. 14 and will air weekly through mid-November, focusing on the 2026 midterm elections, key congressional races and issues.
The first episode, which aired Wednesday, centered on rising costs for gas, groceries and healthcare, Elon Musk’s political spending and how Democrats can make affordability a winning message, while also examining key Senate races in Michigan and Maine.

“If the former president can help Democrats compete in a challenging state like Florida, and Secretary Clinton’s podcast can contribute to a substantive national conversation that motivates my party, that’s certainly a positive,” said Walling.
The Clintons’ increased visibility comes as Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have scored primary victories against incumbent or establishment-backed Democrats in states including Colorado, New York and Michigan.
“The challenge for Democrats is drawing on the wisdom and experience of the party’s past without overshadowing the next generation of leaders who will define its future,” he added.
