Maura Healey is going from the basketball court to the Massachusetts governor's house, with a little under 30 years in between. The current Attorney General of Massachusetts is projected to defeat Republican Geoff Diehl, flipping the office back to Democrats after two terms under Charlie Baker. Not only is Healey the first woman to be elected to the office, she's also the first open lesbian to be elected governor in U.S. history.(Emphasis Mine)

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) does not plan to endorse the state’s GOP gubernatorial nominee, who is backed by former President Trump, according to a spokesperson. “The Governor and Lt. Governor [Karyn Polito (R)] said months ago they don’t plan to get involved in the gubernatorial election so they can focus solely on finishing strong,” Baker spokesman Jim Conroy confirmed to The Hill. “That’s still the case.” Former state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who had the endorsement of former President Trump, was projected on Tuesday night to win the Republican primary in the Massachusetts governor’s race, beating out moderate businessman Chris...

Votes still being counted but election has been called

Former state Rep. Geoff Diehl had a phone call with perhaps his most important supporter Monday, the last night before voters head to the primary polls Tuesday morning. “Hello Massachusetts and Happy Labor Day everybody,” Former President Donald Trump said to open a “tele-rally” with the Diehl campaign just after 7 p.m. Trump first endorsed Diehl last October, more than a year before November’s general election, and that support has been enough to keep his name on top of the polls for months despite a severely underfunded campaign, leaving him with a fairly comfortable polling lead heading into Tuesday’s Republican...

Boy, has President Trump got Gov. Charlie Baker’s number. I had POTUS on my radio show Monday and he generally seemed in a pretty mellow mood — he just chuckled when I played for him the soundbite of Dementia Joe Biden last week falsely bragging that “I started the vaccination program.” But when it comes to Baker — and at least one other RINO governor — it appears that Trump is on a revenge tour. Last week he endorsed ex-Rep. Geoff Diehl, Baker’s opponent in the GOP primary, so I asked Trump to expand on how he came to his...

Geoff Diehl has proved that the concerns of the residents of his district as well as the taxpayers throughout the state are paramount among his priorities.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Sunday that she changed her mind recently and took a DNA test proving her heritage because Americans’ trust in government is “at an all-time low” and she wanted to help rebuild it by being transparent. The incumbent Massachusetts senator spoke at her second debate against Republican state Rep. Geoff Diehl in the U.S. Senate race. […] Ultimately, she said, she took a DNA test because she believes one way to rebuild trust in government is by posting her full family history online “so anybody can take a look. … I believe one way that...
