Instead of advancing ‘democracy’ by upholding primary voters’ wishes, Democrats and their allies are suddenly trying to have Biden replaced.Democrats love to talk about democracy almost as much as they love to bring up “Russia! Russia! Russia!” The blue party’s usual talking points about preserving “America’s sacred cause” at whatever cost (literally), however, were suspiciously lacking from their commentary on the first presidential debate.For years, Democrats and their corporate media cronies have gnashed their teeth and stomped their feet about “defending democracy” by smearing election integrity and attacking Republicans who try to protect women and children.Democrats are so dead set...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Sheri Biggs, a nurse practitioner and Air National Guard officer, won the Republican nomination for the U.S. House in South Carolina’s 3rd District on Tuesday, defeating a challenger who called himself former President Donald Trump’s pastor. In November, Biggs will be a heavy favorite in the most Republican district in GOP-dominated South Carolina. She was backed by Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, who she and her husband have been longtime friends and financial backers. Biggs defeated Mark Burns, a Black pastor who has been by Trump’s side for nearly a decade and has unsuccessfully run for Congress...

For all you FOX haters, this is some local Fox affiliate's coverage of tonight's primaries, not the main FOX News.

Virginia will get its chance to influence who is sent to the House of Representatives next year as voters cast their ballot in several high-profile primaries on Tuesday. There are two open seats this fall due to the retirement of Democratic Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Jennifer Wexton (D-VA), the first of which is seen as a key pickup opportunity for Republicans without an incumbent to run against. Meanwhile, Democrats will choose their nominee to challenge Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA) in a Biden-won district. Voters will also have the opportunity to decide the fate of House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob...

More than half a million voters in the Democratic presidential primaries have voted 'uncommitted' rather than cast ballots for President Biden in a move that sets of alarms for the president ahead of what is expected to be an extremely close general election. The movement to get Democrats to vote 'uncommitted' will send at least 36 'uncommitted' delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August from nine states so far, according to tracking by the Associated Press. On Tuesday, New Jersey voters chose to send one uncommitted delegate to the convention from their primary. More than 42,000 voters...

This is the final round of presidential primaries. But local primaries continue until mid-September.

A handful of states saw key primary contests on Tuesday, teeing up November matchups in closely watched House races and underscoring voter frustration with both President Biden and former President Trump. Biden and Trump sailed to wins in their respective presidential primaries in Oregon and Kentucky, but both White House hopefuls saw new iterations of protest votes that have cropped up throughout this cycle. In Kentucky, roughly 6 percent of the GOP primary vote went to Trump’s former rival Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race weeks ago. She’s pulled in sizeable figures in several states as some Republicans...

We are rapidly approaching the most important primaries of our lifetime. Sure, the presidential primary — the one we all slept through — might be behind us, but most states still have not held their primaries for down-the-ballot state and federal offices. Will the unprecedented betrayals of the past few months finally catalyze change among Republican voters and activists? Or will we continue to reflexively nominate every incumbent and the most well-known politician with an “R” next to his name, ensuring we perpetuate dystopian uni-party governance? The reality is, despite the shocking betrayals, not a single House or Senate Republican...

Donald Trump won the Pennsylvania Republican primary with 82.8% of the vote. The Keystone State's primary is closed, meaning only Republicans can vote. But is this cause for worry? Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,000 votes. Biden won the state in 2020 by 80,000. However, former candidate Nikki Haley, who dropped out a month ago, received 16.5% of the vote in this year's primary, or about 156,000 votes. That's a healthy slice of the electorate in a state so evenly divided. We can assume that a significant portion of Haley's votes are going to be "hold your nose and...

The Senate Majority PAC and an affiliated nonprofit have injected themselves into Ohio and Montana Republican primaries this cycle... Groups aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have meddled in several Republican primaries this election cycle, a tactic that has been underway a number of years. The Senate Majority PAC (SMP), which works to elect and keep Democrats in Congress' upper chamber, has targeted Republican primaries in at least two states for the 2024 elections. SMP tends to maneuver using other groups to conceal its involvement until after the primaries. It mainly targets swing states by boosting candidates supported by...

The shockwaves rippled up and down the ballot as incumbent state House members, judges and other state leaders were forced into runoffs or defeated outright. Texas voters on Tuesday handed more power to the insurgent wing of the Republican Party in an expensive and vengeful primary election, punishing GOP lawmakers, judges and a House speaker who defied hard-right state leaders and their supporters in recent years. The shockwaves rippled up and down the ballot. Most notably, Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, was forced into a runoff with a well-funded challenger, David Covey, after being targeted by ultra-conservative donors and activists, who...

In another thread there was an interesting comment in the source story. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4222241/posts“ "They are still voting in a couple of western states, but the voters have spoken from Virginia to Oklahoma and from Maine to Texas, and the outcome is already abundantly clear. Donald Trump won, and Nikki Haley lost.” How can they possibly know the results this quickly? The polls have only been closed two hours. It will surely take weeks before we know the results. Right? I am noticing something strange that has been consistent throughout the primaries and caucuses from both parties. We get results very...

President Biden was projected to lose the Democratic primary in American Samoa to an obscure candidate in a surprising result that comes amid a string of Super Tuesday wins. The race was called Tuesday night by Decision Desk HQ, who confirmed the results with the Democratic Party of American Samoa. Democrat Jason Palmer, a entrepreneur running a long-shot bid against the incumbent, was projected to win the U.S. territory’s Democratic race. Palmer has reportedly qualified for the presidential ballot in just 16 states and territories, according to a release from the campaign through PRNewswire. Since American Samoa is a U.S....

As Nikki Haley stubbornly clings to life ahead of Super Tuesday, warning that nominating Donald Trump for president a third time would mean “suicide for our country,” some of her closest supporters take solace in the fact that the future is unknowable.Perhaps there is a “fatal landmine” that the former president “could step on at any minute” or a lurking controversy that could “land him deep in the bottom of a well,” speculated Michigan State Rep. Mark Tisdal, who served on Haley’s leadership team for that state. “She is an alternative,” added Utah state Sen. Todd Weiler, who campaigned with...

Do you remember the Brad Pitt movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”? The title character suffered from a unique condition in which he was born an old man and then kept getting younger and younger until he died as a newborn baby. Today, we are witnessing the equally curious transformation of a politician from a once reliable Republican conservative to a radical Democrat who seems intent on killing her own presidential political career in the crib. I am talking, of course, about Nikki Haley. [snip] Now, for the last two months, since shortly before the Iowa caucuses, we have...

Nikki Haley knows her campaign is over. It was over a month ago, but she refuses to publicly admit it. With each devastating loss, she speaks triumphantly, as if she's won, pretending that Republican primary voters are sending her the message that she must soldier on. In a campaign memo received by PJ Media, Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles declared that "the end is near" for Nikki Haley and that her campaign will be finished on Saturday in her home state, which they say is "fitting" because those voters "know her the best." The brutal memo continues: Of...
