Socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker is back in the 2026 midterm conversation, hitting the campaign trail in Minnesota and spiking nerves among Democrats as he publicly appears just over one week out from Election Day.

Piker is set to appear at a live podcast taping in Minneapolis on Monday, Oct. 26, with Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Democratic state Sen. Omar Fateh. The event comes after a heated election season for Piker, as his controversial statements have drawn accusations of antisemitism while many national Democrats have distanced themselves from him.
