    Furious Democrats are pushing “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he agreed to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, according to reports. Progressives see Schumer’s sudden decision to support the legislation, which would fund the government through September, as “surrendering” to Republicans and as a “huge slap in the face” to them. It is leading many to encourage AOC to run for his seat in 2028, according to reports. Democrats convening for a retreat in Virginia this week are “so mad” that they are “ready to write checks for AOC...

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) faces an unexpected primary challenge from a former aide to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). The challenger, who previously worked closely with the “Squad” member, is positioning himself as a progressive alternative to the long-time Democratic leader, calling for fresh leadership and a stronger push for bold reforms. With Pelosi having held her seat for decades, this challenge signals a potential shift in the district's political landscape and sets the stage for a high-stakes race in the upcoming election. Saikat Chakrabarti announced his bid to challenge Pelosi for her seat, which she has held for...

    Even before officially launching his widely anticipated Ohio gubernatorial bid, former biotech entrepreneur and 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy already enjoys an enormous lead over many of his prospective primary opponents, according to a new survey of Republican primary voters conducted by longtime Trump polling firm Fabrizio, Lee & Associates. Ramaswamy, who recently parted ways with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he was slated to lead with Elon Musk, has the support of more than half of Buckeye State GOP primary voters in a gubernatorial match-up against potential opponents Dave Yost, Robert Sprague, and Jeremiah Workman, according to...

    Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would clobber Mayor Eric Adams even among black voters if the pair ran against each other in the Democratic primary for mayor, according to an independent poll released Wednesday. The survey, conducted by Bold Decision and obtained by The Post, shows that Cuomo is the first choice of 46% of likely black voters compared to the 18% who said they would choose Adams, the second African-American to be elected mayor after David Dinkins a generation ago. Adams, who has been criminally indicted on fraud and bribery charges, is being dragged down by low approval ratings. Nearly three-quarters...

    Regrets, she has a few … Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) continued to work her way through the stages of grief following Vice President Kamala Harris’ election loss — this time blaming President Biden for not ending his bid for a second term earlier. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times in comments published Friday. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.” The 84-year-old went on: “And as I say, Kamala may have,...

    Hollywood star Sally Field is claiming Kamala Harris stands for democracy even though she didn’t receive a single vote in the Democratic primary. Sally Field announced her return to social media over the weekend with two Instagram posts. In one, she trashed former President Donald Trump. In the other, she endorsed Kamala Harris, claiming a vote for the Harris-Walz ticket is a vote for “democracy.” “Hope is here,” the Norma Rae actress wrote, later adding: “Vote for our country, our children and grandchildren. Vote for the earth and women and human rights. Vote for democracy. Vote for @kamalaharris and @timwalz...

    She had the incumbent advantage and was predicted to retain her seat based on recent polling. Now, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has won her primary in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has won the primary for the Democratic nomination for her seat representing Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, almost certainly giving her two more years in the House, Decision Desk HQ projects. Omar fended off a challenge from former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, who nearly upset her two years ago in a primary. In 2022, she won by less than 2,500 votes in a race where...

    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is two days away from learning whether she has won the Democratic primary for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, essentially ensuring her path to reelection. Her challenger, a familiar foe in former Minneapolis Councilman Don Samuels, believes he can unseat the sitting Democrat, arguing while campaigning on Sunday that she has been “divisive.” “The voters have had three terms under Congresswoman Omar’s leadership and service,” Samuels said to FOX 9. “They are dissatisfied.” “She goes hard after one point of view, condemns the other point of view, alienates half of her district, and becomes divisive,” he added.

    Laura Loomer joined War Room to encourage Republicans in Ilhan Omar's district to cross over and vote for her opponent in the upcoming Minnesota primary. Minnesota is one of a handful of states that have open primaries. Omar won her last primary by a mere 2,000 votes so there is a real chance she can be defeated this time.

    Semafor ^ | July 7, 2024 | Morgan Chalfant
    As the Democratic Party convulses over questions about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, a pair of well-connected Democrats is offering an optimistic plan that would involve the president stepping down as the nominee and the party announcing a “blitz primary” process ahead of the August convention. The proposal is the work of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown University law professor who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations and as a volunteer policy adviser to the Biden campaign in 2020, and Ted Dintersmith, a venture capitalist and education philanthropist who has donated to various Democratic campaigns. They want Biden to flip...

    Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that he would support a “mini primary” at the Democratic National Convention because the frontrunner to replace Joe Biden, Kamala Harris needed a “strong running mate.” Clyburn said, “There will definitely be other the candidates. My understanding is they’re 700 and uncommitted delegates and of course their delegates who declared. It would seem to me that any one of these people who aspire to be president who would like to see a contest take place, look at those 700 delegates who are now uncommitted and get into the acton. I do...

    Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) said he did not vote for President Trump in the Georgia presidential primary in late May. Kemp in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday said he didn’t vote for anyone in the state’s primary because the GOP’s presidential race had already been decided. “I voted, but I didn’t vote for anybody. I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,” Kemp told Collins. “Well, it would be, for me, personally, politically, I mean it would be interesting if [I’d] voted for him, it would be interesting if I didn’t, it...

    After Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY)’s primary defeat in New York, a second Squad member could be in trouble, according to a new poll that shows Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)’s opponent, Wesley Bell, pulling ahead. The poll, conducted by Democrat pollster Mark Mellman’s group and published by Politico, showed that Bell has overcome a double-digit deficit to pull ahead of Bush. Bell, St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney, is only one percentage point ahead of Bush, but analysis by the group said Bell’s image is improving, while Bush’s is moving in a negative direction, “leaving him with an underlying image advantage.”

    PROVO, Utah (AP) — A pair of moderate Utah Republicans won primary elections Tuesday for U.S. Senate and governor over far-right candidates who are loyalists to former President Donald Trump, the latest example of how Utah is a rare Republican state that doesn’t fully embrace Trump’s stranglehold on the GOP. U.S. Rep. John Curtis, who won the GOP primary for Mitt Romney’s open U.S. Senate seat, and Gov. Spencer Cox still support Trump and many of his policies but have shown a willingness to stake out different positions on issues where they disagree. Curtis and Cox both defeated candidates who...

    Three high-profile primaries in U.S. House districts will be held tomorrow in South Carolina. In solidly Republican CD-3), seven candidates are vying to replace 7-term conservative Jeff Duncan, who is retiring rather than face a campaign that would feature nasty (and unproven) allegations from his vindictive soon-to-be ex-wife. In solidly Republican CD-4 Trump-supported incumbent William Timmons is facing conservative state legislator Adam Morgan, who is being boosted by outspoken conservative congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida. Timmons had no Democrat opposition in 2022 but he achieved only 52.7% in a four-way primary that year, and this one could be close too....
