Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his podcast co-host Al Hunt lamented a recent primary winner in New York as part of a movement they say does not belong in the Democratic Party. Democratic socialist candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier was one of three candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who won shocking primary victories in New York Tuesday. Hunt suggested on Thursday’s episode of “Politics War Room” that they may “complicate the politically existential question of winning in November.” Carville and Hunt agreed that Republicans are overplaying these three candidates as somehow representing the broader Democratic Party...

Normal Americans are gearing up to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday with friends and family. The bitter lunatics who despise this country are already rejoicing for, shall we say, different reasons. Zohran Mamdani had a great week. All three of the terrorist-adjacent, anti-capitalist zealots he endorsed for Congress won their primaries against establishment-backed incumbents or their chosen successors. They won by reiterating the woke nonsense normal Democrats have spent the last several years trying to disavow, and assailing their opponents as fair-weather communists insufficiently devoted to Israel’s destruction. Mamdani’s candidates—Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier—ran up huge margins...

President Trump predicted that New York will “only get worse” after two socialist candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won Democratic congressional primaries in the Big Apple Tuesday night. “Many Communists running in badly failing Blue States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The votes seem to have them doing quite well against each other. The bad news is that history has conclusively shown that the downtrodden States that they will soon be running will ONLY GET WORSE.” In a separate post early Wednesday, Trump vowed: “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” Trump spoke out after state Assemblywoman...

Businessman Zach Lahn’s win in Iowa’s Republican gubernatorial primary over President Donald Trump’s pick, Rep. Randy Feenstra, delivered a rare electoral setback for Trump in a primary season that had handed him back-to-back victories... Members of the MAHA movement...cheered the win as a sign their political message was resonating with voters. “This election is a signal that pro-pesticide does not mean pro-farmer,” said Tony Lyons, president of Kennedy-aligned MAHA PAC, which endorsed Lahn. “Zach Lahn made transitioning away from toxic chemicals the cornerstone of his campaign and won this election decisively with strong farmer support.” “Iowa has the fastest growing...

PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — The South Dakota Legislature’s ranks will look different in 2027. At least 13 Republican incumbents lost primary elections on Tuesday night, and several others were locked in tight battles as vote counting proceeded into early Wednesday morning. At least six of the contests would qualify for recounts if requested by candidates. As of 2:45 a.m., final results hadn’t been posted on the Secretary of State website for districts 2, 9, 10, 11 and 14, each of which includes parts of Minnehaha County.

The battle for control of Congress is on. Republicans hope to maintain and expand their narrow majorities in the fall for the second half of President Donald Trump’s term, while Democrats will aim to win over voters frustrated with Trump on the economy and other issues.

Across California, progressives enter the June 2 primaries with rare chances to score major wins. In the governor’s race, billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer is running as a progressive class traitor. He enjoys the monetary resources necessary to challenge the party establishment-backed Xavier Becerra, a veteran congressman who was secretary of Health and Human Services under the Biden administration. In Los Angeles, City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is an insurgent attempting to unseat Karen Bass, the embattled incumbent mayor endorsed by Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Yet progressives are undermining their own prospects. California’s top-two “jungle primaries,” in which...

Hi all, Just a brief note here---I know many of you get "Today's News" which Lakeside Granny generously posts. Here are a couple of thoughts on "polls" that supposedly have Trump in low 40s or worse. 1) When the first bombing campaign on Iran began just under a year ago, several of "our" reliable pollsters went nuts. Not going to name names. I've known some of them for years, and we have been mutually supportive. But they veered far left mainly driven by animus to Israel, and it has only gotten worse. They did what they always criticized their Hoax-y...

This video, created by Nick Moseder, discusses the recent Georgia primary election results and celebrates the defeat of several prominent establishment politicians whom the host characterizes as opponents of President Trump and the election integrity movement. Key takeaways from the video include: Brad Raffensperger's Defeat: The host highlights that Brad Raffensperger, the Secretary of State, finished in third place (14.5%) in his bid for governor, effectively ending his current political career (1:46 - 4:05). The host criticizes him for his role in the 2020 election certification and his handling of election integrity claims. Gabriel Sterling's Loss: Gabriel Sterling, the Chief...

In 2024, President Donald Trump won the White House buoyed by historic support among Hispanic voters, diversifying the GOP’s coalition and flipping Democratic strongholds like South Texas. Two years later, a crop of Hispanic Republican candidates in Texas will aim to solidify Trump’s gains in defiance of the midterm headwinds facing the GOP this fall. The balance of the U.S. House could turn on whether they succeed... As many as four of the five Democratic seats targeted by GOP redistricting could feature Hispanic GOP nominees, while two of Democrats’ top targets will be defended by Hispanic Republican candidates. In all...

WASHINGTON — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is crisscrossing the country as he lays the groundwork for an increasingly likely 2028 presidential campaign — refining his pitch, building relationships and working to move past his bruising 2024 defeat by President Trump. The term-limited Sunshine State governor, 47, started the week by joining business leaders at the Milken Institute’s global conference in Beverly Hills and will keynote the New York Republican Party’s May 19 annual gala at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. “I’m in my mid-40s. [20]28, you know, maybe beyond that, I think that there’s a lot of runway,” DeSantis said...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a joint motion with the state's GOP leadership to close the Republican primaries. The filing comes after the same leadership sued the Texas Secretary of State for the same purpose. It also comes ahead of the race for U.S. Senate, in which Paxton hopes to unseat longtime Sen. John Cornyn. Ken Paxton wants closed Texas primaries What's new: Paxton filed the motion jointly in a federal court with the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) on Thursday. The RPT sued Secretary of State Jane Nelson at the beginning of September to achieve the same...

He's not exactly a buttoned-down Brooks Brothers suit-wearing — or even a beer-drinking MAGA hat-wearing kind of Trump supporter that you would expect. But he's hellbent on making New Jersey a red state, following his great success in helping President Donald Trump win Pennsylvania. He targeted low propensity voters in Pennsylvania and got them to register and vote. Groups like truckers, hunters and even the Amish were receptive to his message and turned out to vote Republican in the election last year, handing over the important and pivotal state of Pennsylvania to Trump. Presler is in his mid-30s and came...

It’s been almost four years since U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy cast the political dice and diverted from Republican group think. He dared to endorse the impeachment of then-recently replaced President Donald Trump for his incitement of the Jan. 6 insurrectionist attack on the Capitol. “Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty,” Cassidy said at the time. Now Louisiana’s senior senator finds himself an unfavored incumbent, although a well-funded one, among hardcore GOP types ahead of his 2026 reelection bid. Despite an otherwise consistent track record...

Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) expressed deep concerns about facing accountability for her opposition to Trump’s cabinet nominees, during her participation in the controversial No Labels National Meeting. Her remarks, dripping with alarm and self-pity, laid bare her growing fear of primary challenges from conservative voters fed up with RINO lawmakers undermining the MAGA agenda. Senators who attended the event are: Bill Cassidy (R-LA) Susan Collins (R-ME) John Curtis (R-UT) Tim Kaine (D-VA) Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Thom Tillis (R-NC) Todd Young (R-IN) [snip] “My friend Joni Ernst, who is probably one of the more conservative, principled Republican leaders...
