Democratic socialist Melat Kiros upset incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) in the primary for Colorado&#8217;s 1st congressional district on Tuesday night as the far-Left continues its hot streak in Democratic contests.
With 93% of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning, Kiros <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/colorado-us-house-district-1-results">holds</a> 51.3% to DeGette&#8217;s 41.7%, with Wanda James, another candidate in the race, taking 7%.
DeGette, who has held the House seat for as long as 29-year-old Kiros has been alive, will likely be replaced by Kiros after the general election. Kiros will be heavily favored over Republican nominee Christy Peterson in the general election in a district that last elected a Republican in 1970.
Kiros, endorsed by democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), <a href="https://www.kirosforco.com/priorities-2#">wants</a> to increase publicly owned housing, make college tuition free, hike the corporate tax rate from 21% to 50%, end at-will employment, create an AI moratorium, abolish ICE, allow gender-affirming care for all ages, and invest in &#8220;community-based&#8221; emergency response teams over police.
Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia and immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was an infant, also <a href="https://x.com/EYakoby/status/2072145312743915590">proposed</a> giving immediate citizenship to all illegal immigrants in the United States.
&#8220;Abolishing ICE is just one step &#8230; I think there has to be an immediate pathway for every single undocumented immigrant that&#8217;s here in this country today that doesn&#8217;t require them to shell out thousands of dollars to go through the process,&#8221; she said.
The leftist Democrat has also faced criticism over recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/october-7-comments-put-dsa-backed-candidate-under-scrutiny?author=Leona+Salinas&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=October+7+Comments+Put+DSA-Backed+Candidate+Under+Scrutiny">comments</a> she made on the 9/11 and October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, arguing that 9/11 was the result of American foreign policy and October 7 was “the inevitable consequence of apartheid.”
Kiros has spent the majority of the last decade in school, obtaining an economics and political science degree from Washington College, a law degree from Notre Dame, and is currently pursuing her PhD in public affairs at the University of Colorado. She currently works as a barista while running for Congress. 
She was an attorney for about 15 months before she was fired after criticizing her own law firm and other firms for signing a <a href="https://aboutblaw.com/bbju">statement</a> that pushed for deans to address antisemitic language and protests on college campuses after Hamas&#8217; October 7 attack on Israel. In her own letter in November 2023, Kiros <a href="https://medium.com/@melatakiros/dear-us-law-firms-77ec63e838af">claimed</a> she was confused why calls for the elimination of the Israeli state were seen as antisemitic. 
Kiros is the latest democratic socialist to cruise to a primary victory after three radical leftists won their primaries in New York last week. Some sitting Democrats are embracing the radical newcomers. 
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/influential-dem-doubles-down-on-partys-hard-left-turn-after-socialist-primary-sweeps?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Influential+Dem+Doubles+Down+on+Party%E2%80%99s+Hard-Left+Turn+After+Socialist+Primary+Sweeps">said</a> after New York&#8217;s wins there is &#8220;a new, strong, and bold Democratic party.&#8221; On Tuesday, New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed socialists &#8220;not only understood economics&#8221; but they can right the so-called wrongs created by capitalism. 
Kiros told SiriusXM radio, &#8220;People are seeing that capitalism is responsible for a lot of the degradation that we&#8217;re seeing in our economy, in our democracy, in our climate.&#8221; She attributes socialism&#8217;s rise to people &#8220;demanding a new way to organize our economy, our government and making sure that&#8217;s all centered on working families and protecting basic needs.&#8221;

Socialist Hot Streak Continues As Radical Leftist Unseats 15-Term Democrat

Election

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed states to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, rejecting a lawsuit brought by the Republican National Committee that would&#8217;ve upended voting rules in more than a dozen states ahead of the November midterm elections.
In a 5-4 ruling, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the high court held that nothing in federal election-day statutes prohibits states from counting late-arriving mail-in ballots. 
&#8220;The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt, and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,&#8221; Barrett wrote in the opinion. Chief Justice John Roberts also joined the court&#8217;s liberal wing to form a majority.
&#8220;This is not a case about the Constitution. We do not consider the scope of Congress’s authority to regulate federal elections,&#8221; Barrett added. &#8220;The sole question before us is whether counting ballots postmarked by election day, but received up to five days later, violates the federal election-day statutes.&#8221;
It’s a stinging defeat for election-security advocates, including President Donald Trump, who has long criticized the practice. <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116834002761429397">On Truth Social</a>, Trump called the ruling a &#8220;tremendous loss&#8221; and renewed calls for Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act. 
&#8220;If we want fair and secure elections, Election Day should mean exactly what it says, which is why this decision makes it even more imperative that Congress pass the SAVE America Act,&#8221; RNC Chairman Joe Gruters said in a statement to The Daily Wire. &#8220;Democrats are inviting chaos at the ballot box by allowing elections to drag on for days and weeks after voters cast their ballots. Republicans are not going to be deterred by this decision, and the RNC will keep fighting to have elections end on Election Day as Americans want.”
 Mail-in ballots have become a key target for conservatives following California’s recent primary, where leftist Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman advanced to the November mayoral election after nearly a week of counting late-arriving ballots, locking Republican Spencer Pratt out of the race. 
The Supreme Court case centered on a challenge to a Mississippi law that allowed a grace period for mail-in ballots. 
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented. 
&#8220;It opens up and fails to resolve a host of questions for state election officials and courts,&#8221; Alito wrote in a scathing dissent. &#8220;And it creates a serious risk of further undermining public confidence in our elections and our system of self-government.&#8221;
Before the case reached the Supreme Court, the Mississippi Republican Party and the Republican National Committee (RNC) sued the state, arguing that its law violated <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/1">federal statutes</a> enacted by Congress in 1845 establishing the Tuesday after the first Monday in November as “Election Day.” <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/2/7">In 1872</a>, Congress extended that requirement to congressional elections as well, <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/03/court-appears-ready-to-overturn-state-law-allowing-for-late-arriving-mail-in-ballots/">according to SCOTUSblog</a>.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Mississippi, saying that federal law preempted state law and required all ballots to be received by Election Day. 
Trying to overturn the 5th Circuit, Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson asked the Supreme Court to weigh in. Watson argued to the court that the 5th Circuit’s decision “defies statutory text, conflicts with this Court’s precedent, and — if left to stand — will have destabilizing nationwide ramifications,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-to-hear-critical-challenge-to-mail-in-ballots">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. 
He said that as long as the ballots had been filled out by Election Day, they should be counted. Nineteen mostly blue states and the District of Columbia are supporting Mississippi in its efforts to reverse the lower court’s decision. 
The RNC disagreed, noting that accepting ballots after Election Day could delay election results for weeks. 
“Many States can’t conclude their elections for weeks after election day because they’re still receiving ballots from voters. Weeks after the ‘day for the election’ has come and gone, the elections in those States continue,” they wrote in a brief. 
In executive orders, President Trump has <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/preserving-and-protecting-the-integrity-of-american-elections/">called</a> for an end to mail-in voting, alleging the practice opens the door to election fraud.

President Donald Trump took a shot at the far-Left wing of the Democratic Party on Thursday and sent a message to &#8220;communists&#8221; after radical candidates won multiple elections in New York earlier this week.
Trump suggested that he wasn&#8217;t surprised to see far-Left candidates, such as Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Brad Lander, win their primaries for the U.S. House. Valdez, Chevalier, and Lander are all backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — and Chevalier and Lander defeated Democratic incumbents.
&#8220;The Communists are finally making their move,&#8221; Trump wrote on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116813173401388945">Truth Social</a>. &#8220;I’ve been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. It’s easy to be a Communist — All you have to do is say, &#8216;I’ll give you everything,&#8217; but that means you’re taking it away from others that have earned it. Over thousands of years, that Ideology has not worked once. The game is on. Enjoy watching!&#8221;
While the New York radicals who won their primaries identify as &#8220;democratic socialists,&#8221; they have been accused of pushing ideas that are indistinguishable from communist talking points. Chevalier was even asked recently to respond to people describing her as a communist, and she refused to address it.
&#8220;You know, I think that framing is one that I&#8217;ve been very proud to say that I don&#8217;t respond to, one in which I have been very intentional to say I won&#8217;t be reactive,&#8221; Chevalier told MS NOW anchor Ali Velshi. &#8220;We are presenting a vision of what we&#8217;re fighting for, and I think that for far too long, we have had politics that is reactive to what Republicans are doing. What we need is Democrats who are actually going to present a positive vision, one that sets the tone for what we should be talking about, which is the issue of affordability.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Along with calling for the government to seize private property, Chevalier has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-newest-pick-is-their-most-radical-yet">called</a> to abolish police and borders, disparaged the American flag, and refused to condemn Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel.
Valdez and Lander have also pushed leftist economic views, such as rent freezes, a policy being actively pursued by Mayor Mamdani in NYC. Valdez, meanwhile, has called for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, expanding universal healthcare, increasing taxes on higher earners, and strengthening labor unions.
Shortly after New York democratic socialists won on Tuesday night, Trump said, “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!”

Socialist candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier is likely to become Congress’ most radical member after she won the Democratic primary in New York&#8217;s 13th congressional district, which has not elected a Republican under its current redistricting lines.  
Chevalier has called to abolish police, disparaged the American flag, and refused to condemn Hamas&#8217; October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. She also does not support any form of deportation — including of illegal immigrants who are convicted of murder, rape, and battery.
“The reason I say that is because we have a criminal system. It is imperfect. But it exists,” she said. “We need to make sure it is one that isn’t also discriminatory on the basis of where people were born, right?” She went further to explain that deporting someone and having them serve time in jail is “double punishment.” 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
I asked DSA congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13) about several of her previously deleted tweets, including one that read that “all deportations are wrong.”

The topic came up as Chevalier was grilled about her controversial X posts. The 32-year-old Democratic nominee has also <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/01/politics/kfile-ny-13-darializa-avila-chevalier-deleted-tweets-defund-abolish-police-prisons-deportations">called</a> for abolishing the police and seizing private property. During the primary debate against incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Chevalier said she believes the best way to curb crime is through alleviating poverty via social safety net funding, affordable housing, after-school programs and addressing the opioid crisis rather than “militarized police.” Chevalier unseated Espaillat on Tuesday.
She also <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/06/16/us-news/mamdani-backed-foe-of-espaillat-apologizes-for-nasty-tweets-in-feisty-debate/">criticized</a> former Vice President Kamala Harris posting on X, “F*ck Kamala Harris.” For that she said, “I sincerely apologize. I would love to see a black woman president.” 
She told MS NOW’s Jen Psaki that the issue of affordability ultimately motivated her to run because she is “someone who has had to live with the question of whether I can afford to stay in the city I love.”
Chevalier has walked back another one of her posts that <a href="https://x.com/foxandfriends/status/2069818658910519452">read</a>, “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.” However, in an interview on Tuesday, she abruptly left in the middle of questions into her past statements, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/06/16/us-news/mamdani-backed-foe-of-espaillat-apologizes-for-nasty-tweets-in-feisty-debate/">saying</a> she felt regret for some of her past posts, but added that it was time to “fight for the things that are necessary for the community.”

Chevalier has spent the majority of her career in higher education. She served as an administrative assistant and research assistant at Columbia University. Before starting a seven-year PhD program at City University of New York, she served as a community organizer and activist. As an organizer, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mamdanis-socialists-upset-incumbent-dems-in-house-primary-sweep?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Mamdani%E2%80%99s+Socialists+Upset+Incumbent+Dems+In+House+Primary+Sweep">questioned</a> Israel&#8217;s legitimacy and helped orchestrate pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University after the October 7 Hamas attacks. 
In her first interview since her election, Chevalier proudly <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=darializa+avila+chevalier+student+debt&amp;sca_esv=d8ad4d1a78452d8c&amp;sxsrf=APpeQnsa9Vicu3eevjS0tvaheX4DT1Jb4Q%3A1782316075500&amp;ei=K_w7apb3Hajk5NoPk6jq-Ak&amp;biw=1093&amp;bih=775&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjWuLrknKCVAxUoMlkFHROUGp8Q4dUDCBI&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=darializa+avila+chevalier+student+debt&amp;gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiJmRhcmlhbGl6YSBhdmlsYSBjaGV2YWxpZXIgc3R1ZGVudCBkZWJ0MgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKsCMgUQIRirAkjCDVCgAli-DHABeAGQAQGYAaMBoAHNCaoBBDEwLjO4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgmgAv0GwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwHCAgQQABgDwgIQEAAYgAQYigUYQxixAxiDAZgDAIgGAZIHAzcuMqAH6DWyBwM3LjK4B_0GwgcFMC42LjPIBxaACAE&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&amp;vld=cid:074b82a7,vid:_a4KrN9FFp4,st:0">touted</a> that she has been “organizing my entire adult life around immigration injustice, mass incarceration, and around Palestine.” 
Chevalier was elected alongside two other socialist candidates who were also backed by New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“It will take a new generation of leadership to ensure that the heartbeat of this party is once again the struggles of the working class,&#8221; Mamdani said when he <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mamdani+endorses+chevalier+psaki+&amp;sca_esv=d5a5f35ee25e06b2&amp;udm=7&amp;biw=755&amp;bih=775&amp;sxsrf=APpeQntgcl70TIpQz8YWdLaM8U5tjkGpYw%3A1782313746974&amp;ei=EvM7avWCO7Cl5NoP4M3XgAs&amp;ved=0ahUKEwj105COlKCVAxWwElkFHeDmFbAQ4dUDCBI&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=mamdani+endorses+chevalier+psaki+&amp;gs_lp=EhZnd3Mtd2l6LW1vZGVsZXNzLXZpZGVvIiFtYW1kYW5pIGVuZG9yc2VzIGNoZXZhbGllciBwc2FraSAyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUigT1CZBFjfQ3ADeACQAQCYAYsBoAGvBqoBAzcuMrgBA8gBAPgBAZgCCqACjAbCAgUQIRirApgDAIgGAZIHAzguMqAHwCOyBwM2LjK4B4UGwgcFMC45LjHIBxOACAE&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-modeless-video#fpstate=ive&amp;vld=cid:a2508b1f,vid:470EuZ2UIqM,st:0">endorsed</a> Chevalier last month.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Holds Get Out The Vote Rally Ahead Of Primary Election

Democrats’ Newest Pick Is Their Most Radical Yet

Congress

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), one of Congress&#8217;s most outspoken supporters of Israel, easily defeated a Left-wing primary challenger Tuesday night, surviving an effort by leftist activists to unseat him and drawing an angry response from anti-Israel communist commentator Hasan Piker.
Torres cruised to victory in New York&#8217;s 15th congressional district, defeating former state Assemblyman Michael Blake by a wide margin. With nearly all votes counted, Torres captured roughly 72% of the vote compared to Blake&#8217;s 22%.
The result represents a significant victory for one of the Democratic Party&#8217;s most prominent pro-Israel voices at a time when leftist activists have increasingly targeted lawmakers who support the Jewish state. Among those reacting furiously to the outcome was Left-wing streamer Piker, who has frequently clashed with Torres over Israel, antisemitism, and foreign policy.
&#8220;Ritchie Torres I know you won tonight … I was coming for you but you got lucky this time … I&#8217;ll see you in two, motherf*ck*r … Ritchie! I&#8217;m coming for you, Richie,&#8221; Piker said after the results became clear. &#8220;Sit on that f*ckin seat for the next two years … I hope you remember that.&#8221;

Piker continued by warning Torres that he would continue scrutinizing the congressman&#8217;s pro-Israel positions. &#8220;Every day, every time there&#8217;s a decision that you can make where you are pro-Israel, I hope you remember. … You better act right, Ritchie.&#8221;
The remarks highlight a years-long feud between the congressman and one of the internet&#8217;s most influential leftist commentators.
Torres has repeatedly accused Piker of spreading antisemitic rhetoric and promoting anti-American extremism. In 2024, Torres sent a <a href="https://ritchietorres.house.gov/congressman-ritchie-torres-writes-to-executives-at-twitch-and-amazon-hasan-piker-is-dangerous">letter</a> to Twitch and Amazon executives condemning Piker, whom he described as a major source of antisemitic content online.
The congressman&#8217;s letter cited a series of controversial statements from Piker, including comments minimizing the significance of sexual violence committed during Hamas&#8217;s October 7 attack on Israel, remarks sympathetic to Hezbollah, and his infamous claim that &#8220;America deserved 9/11.&#8221;
Torres also accused Piker of platforming extremists and helping fuel the rise of antisemitism on social media.
Despite becoming a frequent target of attacks from his left flank, Torres has continued to carve out a unique position within the Democratic Party. The Bronx congressman formally broke with the Congressional Progressive Caucus in 2024 and has become one of the most forceful Democratic critics of anti-Israel activism.
Blake attempted to capitalize on growing dissatisfaction with Israel among Democratic voters and had previously aligned himself politically with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during last year&#8217;s mayoral race.
However, Mamdani notably stayed out of the congressional contest, depriving Blake of the endorsement many on the Left of Torres hoped would help unite the anti-Torres vote.
Torres also enjoyed a massive fundraising advantage throughout the campaign. Federal filings showed the congressman raising nearly $6.7 million compared to roughly $412,000 for Blake.
The decisive victory suggests that while socialist and leftist candidates scored several victories elsewhere in New York on Tuesday, efforts to oust Torres failed to gain meaningful traction among Democratic voters in the Bronx.
Instead, voters handed Torres another overwhelming primary victory and rejected one of the highest-profile attempts by the Democratic Party&#8217;s activists to punish a lawmaker for his support of Israel.
For Piker and other anti-Israel activists who have spent years attacking Torres online, Tuesday night&#8217;s results amounted to a clear setback. For Torres, they served as another demonstration that his brand of unapologetic support for Israel remains politically viable even as much of his party continues moving Left on the issue.

All three socialist candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York on Tuesday night, including two far-Left candidates who knocked out incumbent Democrats. 
In New York&#8217;s 10th congressional district, former New York City comptroller Brad Lander handily defeated his opponent, incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, receiving approximately <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/new-york-us-house-district-10-results">66%</a> of the vote. In New York’s 7th district, New York State Assemblymember Claire Valdez won her race with about <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/new-york-us-house-district-7-results">56%</a> of the vote, and in the 13th district, leftist community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/new-york-us-house-district-13-results">defeated</a> incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat by less than four percentage points, according to the results as of Wednesday morning. 
The results highlight the growing popularity of democratic socialist candidates in New York, sparked by Mamdani&#8217;s victory last November. 
“When Zohran won, it was a sign of what could happen and what was possible,&#8221; the Sunrise Movement, a Left-wing activist group, said in response to Tuesday night&#8217;s results. &#8220;Young people have taken over New York City and we are going to Congress. Young people, who are unapologetically Democratic-Socialist. Tonight marks the end of the bought out, boomer establishment Democrats.&#8221;
In a social media post, the group added, “WATCH OUT CHUCK SCHUMER!! YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN OVER THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!” 
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not endorse Mamdani for mayor. 
Valdez and Chevalier are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, while Lander previously belonged to the organization before leaving following disagreements over its response to the October 7 Hamas attacks.
Valdez has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mamdani-backed-socialist-prevails-crowded-primary-replace-retiring-rep">called</a> for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, expanding universal healthcare, increasing taxes on higher earners, and strengthening labor unions. Chevalier has advocated abolishing police, prisons, and national borders.
Mamdani&#8217;s endorsement of Chevalier drew scrutiny after several of Chevalier&#8217;s past social media posts resurfaced. In one post, she wrote, &#8220;I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.&#8221; Her former X biography also listed her location as &#8220;Lenapehoking (NYC),&#8221; a reference to the ancestral homeland of the Lenape people.
Mamdani said he had not seen the controversial posts before endorsing Chevalier but stood by his decision after they became public. Defending his endorsement, he told CNN, &#8220;In Congress, she&#8217;ll take on corporate greed, bad landlords, and D.C.&#8217;s broken political system. At a time when power is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, Darializa will fight in Congress for New York City&#8217;s working families. She&#8217;s the champion we need for a city New Yorkers can actually afford.&#8221;
Mamdani&#8217;s wife, Rama Duwaji, also publicly encouraged her Instagram followers to support Valdez and Chevalier, but she did not post an endorsement of Lander. Resurfaced social media activity from Duwaji has drawn criticism, including posts in which she questioned Israel’s legitimacy and <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/nyc-first-lady-liked-post-oct-7-rape-hoax">liked</a> an Instagram post that described allegations of sexual violence on October 7 as a “mass rape hoax.”

President Donald Trump and his son appear to be rooting for different candidates to be the next governor of Georgia ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s runoff election.
Trump endorsed Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, but on Monday, Donald Trump Jr. put out a statement praising Jones’ rival, Rick Jackson. Trump Jr. clarified that his post was not an endorsement.
&#8220;Regardless of what happens in the Georgia Governor’s race tomorrow, we should celebrate the patriots building up MAGA and an America First economy like Rick Jackson has,&#8221; Trump Jr. <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/2066590785756418413">wrote</a>. 
&#8220;When China threatened our amoxicillin supply, Rick saved the last amoxicillin manufacturing facility in America because he knows we can’t let China control our entire supply of antibiotics,&#8221; he added. &#8220;When the U.S. faced an oil refining shortage and the woke banks wouldn’t finance a new one, Rick stepped up again and became the largest outside investor. This has been a hard-fought race with a lot of mudslinging, but I know Rick Jackson to be a good man and that counts for a lot.&#8221;
Trump Jr. added that either outcome would be a win for conservatives. &#8220;By the way, this is not an endorsement of Rick and I think Burt Jones is a great guy too. My only point is that no matter who wins tomorrow, it’s a victory for MAGA.&#8221;
President Trump endorsed Jones last summer and then reaffirmed his endorsement in a post on Truth Social in March.
&#8220;Hello Georgia. I am thrilled to give my complete and total endorsement to my good friend and your next Governor Burt Jones. He is fantastic. He&#8217;s done a great job,&#8221; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/burtjonesforga/videos/a-message-from-president-trump/1514950866924504/">said</a> Trump in a video endorsement.
President Trump and Georgia’s current Republican governor, Brian Kemp, have had a tumultuous relationship. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kemp was the first governor to reopen the state in late April of 2020, just weeks after the emergency lockdown was called.
At the time, Trump had urged Kemp to wait, but Kemp diverged from the president and reopened Georgia. It would not be the last time Kemp went against Trump’s wishes. The governor also certified the 2020 presidential election results from Georgia despite Trump&#8217;s objections, securing 16 electoral votes for then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Kemp, who is term-limited, also endorsed Jones.
The Kalshi prediction market favors Jones over Jackson in the runoff. The winner will face Democratic nominee and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Jones, once a prominent oil executive, has served as the state’s lieutenant governor for the last three years. Jackson, like the president himself, is a self-made billionaire. Jackson grew up in foster care and founded his first healthcare company in the Atlanta area in 1978. He has spent over $100 million of his own money on his race.

The State of California takes longer than anywhere else count votes thanks to its prioritization of inclusivity over speed in elections. 
California has the largest population of registered voters in America, totaling around 23.2 million, and it makes it as easy as possible for them all to vote, at the expense of timely counting. 
California passed legislation in 2021 to send mail-in ballots to each registered voter in a push for making voting accessible to all Californians.
&#8220;Our priority is trying to maximize participation of actively registered voters,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/why-california-takes-weeks-count-votes-lorida-fasters/">said</a> Democratic Assemblymember Marc Berman, who wrote the bill. &#8220;What that means is things are a little slower. But in a society that wants immediate gratification, I think our democracy is worth taking a little time to get it right and to create a system where everyone can participate.&#8221; 
 
Mail ballots are notorious for slowing down elections, as each ballot needs to be individually opened and each requires extra validation steps.
Although California allows absentee ballots to start to be <a href="https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/upcoming-elections/vote-counting-process">processed</a> 29 days before Election Day, California law <a href="https://law.justia.com/codes/california/code-elec/division-3/chapter-1/section-3020/">accepts</a> mail-in ballots up to seven days after Election Day if they are postmarked or timestamped before or on the day of the election. It can take a whole week for the state to determine how many ballots have been cast in the first place.
California does <a href="https://voteriders.org/states/california/">require</a> ID to register to vote, but it does not require any identification when voting in-person or absentee.
Instead of using ID, California election officials <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/us/politics/california-election-delayed-results.html">compare</a> the ballot’s signature to one on file, which is a process that can take much longer than using an ID. Many of the ballots have errors, which can draw out the election as voters fix their mistakes. 
 
Ballot curing is the process of correcting errors in a ballot. California is one of <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Cure_period_for_absentee_and_mail-in_ballots">24 states</a> that both allow for ballot curing and allow for curing after election day. 
While most states <a href="https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/table-15-states-with-signature-cure-processes">require</a> that the ballot be cured within a week after election Day, California allows voters to wait until two days before election certification to fix their ballots, which could be weeks after election day.
California’s lengthy election process can be seen with the highly-contested <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/one-candidate-advances-in-heated-l-a-mayors-race-second-spot-still-up-for-grabs?row=0&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;rowType=Web+Search+Overlay">Los Angeles mayoral race</a>, with only 63% of the vote counted by the day after the election. The results of the race are not expected to be confirmed for days, if not weeks.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman broke down in tears Tuesday night as early vote returns showed the far-Left city councilmember in third place.  
Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass officially secured a spot in November’s runoff election, while reality television star Spencer Pratt and Raman battle for the second spot. If no one receives a majority of the vote, the top two vote-getters advance to the November election. 
With roughly 63% of the vote counted, Bass led the field with 34.8% support, according to Associated Press results. Pratt is holding the second-place spot with 30.4%, while Raman trails in third at 22.3%.

Raman, who is aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, launched a last-minute challenge to Bass and campaigned to peel away support from the mayor’s Left flank. On Tuesday night, she fought back tears as she addressed supporters in downtown Los Angeles.
“I hope you know that everything every person in this room is fighting for in this campaign has been about building a city that&#8217;s worthy of you and every child in this city,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Fiw800JNM">Raman said.</a>

Raman, who represents Los Angeles City Council District 4 and serves as chair of the council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, has made homelessness a central issue of her campaign. 
Her campaign <a href="https://www.nithyaforthecity.com/homelessness">promised</a> to halve the number of people living in encampments by the 2028 Olympic Games. 
“The most painful crisis facing Los Angeles right now is homelessness,” Raman <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX9n9POuYyy/">said</a> in a campaign ad. “It’s the reason I first decided to run for office. My young children were seeing the crisis on the streets every day. It’s not okay for anyone to be sleeping on the sidewalk in the world’s richest country.”
Raman’s detractors argue her record on homelessness paints a different picture. She has touted efforts to remove 500 people off the streets and into interim housing, which is only 0.7% of Los Angeles’s homeless population, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/far-left-dem-trolled-with-mock-homeless-encampment-outside-her-2m-home">The Daily Wire previously reported</a>.
At a 2024 event, <a href="https://x.com/WellsJorda89710/status/2054540425445216447?s=20">attendees booed Raman</a> after she argued that a 500-foot buffer between homeless encampments and schools would not make children safer.  
Pratt, whose savvy social media-centered campaign has captivated much of the country, struck a more defiant tone. 
“She knows it’s on. I hope she’s ready,” Pratt said Tuesday night when asked about a potential runoff against the incumbent mayor. “I literally could not be more excited.”

Leftist California state Sen. Scott Wiener is one step closer to serving in Congress despite the last-minute decision from longtime Congresswoman and former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to endorse his opponent. 
On Tuesday, San Francisco voters made their picks for Pelosi’s successor, selecting among Wiener, Supervisor Connie Chan, and Saikat Chakrabarti, the former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
With half the vote reported as of Wednesday morning, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/us/elections/results-california-us-house-11-primary.html">Wiener and Chan lead the pack</a> with 41.3% and 28.6% of the vote, respectively. Under California’s “jungle primary” system, the top two vote-getters advance to the general election in November regardless of party.

&nbsp;
The results delivered a slight rebuke to Pelosi’s political clout, who has represented San Francisco&#8217;s 11th Congressional District for 39 years in Congress. 
The liberal firebrand, who is serving her last term in Congress, threw her weight behind Chan. 
“I know and love this district, I know the Congress, and I know Connie. I’m proud to endorse Democrat Connie Chan and ask you to join me in electing her to Congress,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pelosi-shatters-dreams-of-san-franciscos-favorite-gay-liberal?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Pelosi+Shatters+Dreams+Of+San+Francisco%E2%80%99s+Favorite+Gay+Liberal">Pelosi said</a>, appearing alongside Chan in a video endorsement.

Her endorsement threw a wrench into the primary <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/wiener-chan-chakrabarti-congressional-election-22224962.php">as most polls showed</a> Wiener holding a commanding lead. The pro-transgender leftist is considered one of the most radical members of the California State legislature. 
“My family escaped fascism in Europe. I never thought the United States would slip into fascism like we’re seeing today. San Francisco has always been on the right side of history,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-trans-leftist-launches-bid-for-pelosis-seat-before-she-has-a-chance-to-announce-retirement">Wiener said in his announcement video.</a>
In October 2025, Wiener called it “<a href="https://x.com/WomenAreReals/status/1982259108108743044">gross</a>” that San Francisco women turned up at his annual Halloween event to protest his transgender policies. He called the late Charlie Kirk a “vile bigot” <a href="http://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/senator-wiener-responds-governor-newsoms-comments-transgender-women-sports">before</a> and <a href="https://x.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1967604784757940280">after</a> the conservative activist was assassinated. He called Trump-ally Richard Grenell a “<a href="https://x.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1673352593530294273">self-hating gay man.</a>”
“Make him the face of the Democrat Party,” <a href="https://x.com/RichardGrenell/status/2062095869864808735?s=20">Grenell said,</a> responding to the election results. Even Nancy Pelosi ran away from him.”
In California, Wiener has pushed policies like California’s transgender shield laws, creating a sanctuary state for those seeking cross-sex hormones and sex-change surgeries, and mandating that foster families recognize and accommodate trans-identifying children in their care. He was also behind a push to reduce the mandatory sentence guidelines for people who knowingly exposed others to HIV, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pelosi-shatters-dreams-of-san-franciscos-favorite-gay-liberal?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Pelosi+Shatters+Dreams+Of+San+Francisco%E2%80%99s+Favorite+Gay+Liberal">The Daily Wire previously reported</a>. 
Tuesday&#8217;s results allow Pelosi&#8217;s machine to fight another day but shed light on the growing tension between the party&#8217;s old guard and an increasingly restless far-Left base.

The Associated Press projected Bass would advance to the runoff. As of Wednesday morning, however, the race between Pratt and Raman had not yet been called.

Pratt, however, was already talking like the runoff matchup had been set: Spencer Pratt versus Karen Bass.
&#8220;She knows it&#8217;s on. I hope she&#8217;s ready,&#8221; Pratt said Tuesday night when asked about a potential runoff against the incumbent mayor. &#8220;I literally could not be more excited.&#8221;
A few months ago, Pratt was viewed as a long-shot candidate. Now he appears within striking distance of becoming Bass&#8217; challenger in November.
&#8220;I was going to be happy if I wasn&#8217;t moving forward, but now I feel very confident,&#8221; he said.
The reality television star turned political outsider has built his campaign around voter frustration with homelessness, crime, and Bass&#8217; handling of the wildfire disaster that destroyed thousands of homes. Pratt lost both his own home and his childhood home in the fire.
And while election officials were still counting ballots, Pratt was already talking about what comes next.
&#8220;We have five months to put the best team the city could ever dream of,&#8221; he said.
Pratt argued that voters have rallied behind his campaign because they are tired of politicians and want someone willing to tell them the truth.
&#8220;At the end of the day, what&#8217;s been resonating is that people just want the truth and they want to know somebody&#8217;s heart,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I try to be as true to my authentic self and I just believe a lot of Los Angeles is so excited to hear from a non-politician.&#8221;
Pratt said voters are looking for a fighter.
&#8220;They want somebody to speak the truth for their communities and fight for them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They want a fighter that&#8217;s going to step up when the city fails them or their elected leaders fail them and I&#8217;m ready to be that person for Los Angeles.&#8221;
He also couldn&#8217;t resist taking a shot at Raman, who spent much of the campaign fighting him for second place.
&#8220;The communist already lost,&#8221; Pratt said.
Thousands of ballots remain uncounted, and election officials will continue processing votes in the coming days.
If the current results hold, Los Angeles could be headed toward one of the most unexpected mayoral runoffs in recent memory: Karen Bass versus Spencer Pratt.
Pratt made it clear he&#8217;s ready for that possibility.
&#8220;We can do debates every Friday if she&#8217;d like,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As many debates as Mayor Bass would like.&#8221;

One Candidate Advances In Heated L.A. Mayor’s Race — Second Spot Still Up For Grabs

Karen Bass

Spencer Pratt

The heroic Army veteran at the center of a nasty controversy involving Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner is now speaking out, and he says the Democrats still backing Platner owe his children an explanation.
According to the New York Post, Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels blasted top Democrats for continuing to support Platner after resurfaced Reddit comments showed the candidate mocking Daniels and saying he “didn’t deserve to live” following a brutal firefight in Afghanistan.
The controversy around Platner has only intensified after online critics also resurfaced images allegedly showing the Democrat with a Nazi-linked tattoo, fueling even more backlash surrounding the campaign.
Daniels, whose helmet-cam footage from a 2012 Taliban ambush went massively viral years ago, told the Post he doesn’t even want an apology from Platner anymore because it wouldn’t feel genuine.
Instead, he said he wants liberal lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and Hakeem Jeffries to explain to his kids why they are backing a candidate who mocked the possibility of their father being killed in combat.
Daniels went viral years ago after helmet-cam footage showed him sprinting into open fire during a Taliban ambush while bullets ripped around him.

His team survived the onslaught, but not before Daniels, who drew the enemy fire away from his squad, was hit four times. He earned a Purple Heart for his actions.
Years later, Platner, now the presumptive Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, allegedly mocked Daniels on a burner Reddit account, calling him a “dumb motherf*cker” and saying he should not have survived.

Daniels also criticized Platner over past comments targeting Chris Kyle and Vice President JD Vance over their military service.
“I don’t understand the hatred toward veterans who served honorably,” Daniels told the New York Post. “That part gets me.”
Platner has defended himself by pointing to his own military service, saying accusations that he disrespects veterans are “offensive” and “slanderous.” He has not apologized for the comments.
Despite everything, Daniels said he is not attacking Platner’s military record and still considers him “a brother” because of his service.
But he also suggested it’s a lot easier to trash someone online than say those things face-to-face.

Portnoy blasted Platner in a private exchange. “Yeah I’d be happy to talk to him about that tattoo and him being a Nazi,” Portnoy wrote before later posting screenshots of the exchange online.
