Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) responded to a question on Democratic U.S. House nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier’s prior calls for eliminating borders, prisons, and police and whether Democratic candidates should hold those sentiments by saying that “I don’t know her, I’m not familiar with what she’s written.” Host Kaitlan Collins asked, “We’ve talked a lot about candidate quality in these races and what this has looked like. We’ve talked about Mamdani’s success last night and the candidates that he backed. But are Democrats also overlooking some unsavory things that their own candidates have done?…

Benoit, who was speaking at a conference hosted by the American Water Works Association on Monday, added that Georgia residents are unfamiliar with AI data centers and oppose them based on the facilities’ water…

On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” Democratic strategist James Carville argued that if Democratic U.S. House nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier is elected, “they should not seat her in the caucus.

It’s three seats in New York City.” He continued, “And, by the way, two of them, I don’t think are even Democrats. This Chevalier lady, I don’t — they should not seat her…
