Tuesday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) said he welcomed Democratic candidates who were members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) because it makes the party debate ideas. Host Peter Alexander said, “There’s a conversation happening among Democrats, and I’m sure a lot of people sitting listening to this conversation right now, who have these real concerns about the sort of divide they’re experiencing within the party between the more progressive candidates and the more moderate, more centrist candidates. The fear is that ultimately it may cost the party some seats, some governors’…

From the power of President Donald Trump’s endorsement to whether the progressive left can win in statewide battleground races, here’s what POLITICO is watching tonight. 1. Wisconsin governor — Democrats’ ideological war If democratic socialist Francesca Hong triumphs against Milwaukee County executive David Crowley, it would be a major victory for the left. But she’d still have to convince Democrats — and even some top progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.), who’ve stayed out of the race — that she is electable in a general election. Many Democrats are already warning that Hong could drag…

The material raised questions about alleged Biden family influence-peddling weeks before the 2020 US election US journalist Tucker Carlson has said that people linked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approached him with material from Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 US presidential election.The laptop belonging to the son of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden became the focus of a major controversy weeks before the vote after the New York Post published material from it pointing to alleged influence-peddling involving the Biden family. The story was widely questioned by US media at the time, while dozens of former intelligence officials…

Ever since the America-hating Dearborn Muslim Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed became the Democratic Party’s Socialist candidate for U.S. Senate, videos have been popping up across X revealing how deeply he hates whites, American history, ICE, law enforcement, the 2nd Amendment, and Capitalism. One of the videos that’s been resurrected and posted by anti-Muslim invasion of America advocate Amy Mek shows a speech that he gave at an event sponsored by CAIR. CAIR has been designated/labeled a terrorist organization by the UAE and certain U.S. state governments, like Texas and Florida. Watch: ALERT MICHIGAN – THIS IS THE REAL ABDUL EL-SAYED –…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said that while President Donald Trump’s strategy to rely on economic pressure with Iran could take a while, there has been a lot of damage done to their military, and “the President understands that, when you continually weaken them economically, then you create the atmosphere in which maybe their people decide, that’s enough, this regime has tortured us enough, and they overcome the regime themselves from within.” Host Rob Schmitt asked, “The President has indicated they’re low-keying this war, that he wants to just —…

The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen claimed responsibility for a murderous “double tap” strike on a ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Tuesday, using three ballistic missiles to set the ship on fire — and then launching another missile in a deliberate attack on rescue teams, killing at least six people. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency (UKMTO), the incident began when the Houthis launched three ballistic missiles at a stationary ship in the Bab el-Mandeb strait — which, like the now-infamous Strait of Hormuz, is a chokepoint for a major trade route. The missile attack caused…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is arguing that Democratic candidates should be judged by what they say today rather than rhetoric from the coronavirus era, even as her own political rise was closely tied to many of the policies and movements associated with the progressive left. Ocasio-Cortez was asked Sunday by ABC News’s Jonathan Karl about Wisconsin Democrat gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong’s past positions, including Hong’s call to “cancel Thanksgiving.” Ocasio-Cortez said Hong has “moved away from it” before invoking a phrase used by New York City Council member Chi Ossé. “And I have a local city councilman that has this…

Wisconsin Democrats are planning a unity tour with their new ticket immediately after today’s primary, as they try to turn the page on a chaotic governor’s primary — and brace to potentially defend a democratic socialist in November. The plans include a breakfast with the nominees for governor and lieutenant governor Wednesday morning in Middleton and a unity rally in Milwaukee in the evening that will include state party leaders and some of the congressional delegation, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter, granted anonymity to share not-yet-public plans. The tour will then hit stops across the…

Election meddling does not happen. At least, that’s what top Democratic Party officials believe, but it’s possible they just have a short memory or were not paying attention. Former Chief Strategist and Senior Advisor to the Obama Administration David Axelrod either forgot, did not remember, or played dumb on CNN Tuesday evening when faced with the reality of such a case in Indiana. Axelrod found himself hearing it from former White House spokesman and political commentator Pete Seat on “Anderson Cooper 360” and looked completely dumbfounded when Seat reminded him that Democrat officials in Indiana — Seat’s home state —…

Britain’s left-wing Burnham government unveiled plans to spread boat migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees across the country because middle-class communities haven’t taken their “fair share” yet. Planting migrants in working-class areas — because housing there is cheap — has caused “a huge burden on local communities and created real civil unrest”, so the logical next step is to spread that to middle-class areas next, which haven’t yet taken “their fair share”, the British government has communicated. The extraordinary series of public relations flubs began on Monday when Prime Minister Andy Burnham was offered the opportunity to meet with locals from…
