Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the Democratic Senate race a month before the primary, endorsed Abdul El-Sayed as he maintained a narrow advantage over Rep. Haley Stevens early Wednesday morning. “I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party,” she said in a statement. El-Sayed led Stevens by roughly two points at the time of McMorrow’s endorsement. Both candidates said early Wednesday morning the race would likely be decided later in the day. McMorrow urged Democrats to unite behind El-Sayed after a bruising primary that…

Credit: Cori Bush For Congress As the Gateway Pundit has previously reported, Cori Bush, the former Missouri rep. who was voted out of office in 2024 has been attempting a return to office. Bush saw the rise of the DSA and thought that she could ride that wave back into the halls of Congress. Tonight, Missouri voters responded by telling her ‘no.’ It wasn’t even that close.

The foreign ministry of Qatar said on Tuesday that diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran are “ongoing,” but no direct talks between the two are currently scheduled. “We can confirm that efforts are ongoing with all parties. We are looking towards diplomatic resolution as we are speaking right now,” Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said. “Everybody in the region is working in tandem in order to avoid escalation. The mediators, Qatar, Pakistan, and now Oman, are all working together on that issue,” he said. Ansari said Qatar’s priorities included “avoiding escalation,” reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and…

Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville does not want to share his political party with far-left commentator and Marxist Hasan Piker. While speaking during an interview on the Sunday Briefing, Carville said, “I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker, I can tell you that right now. If he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I’m out of here,” Fox News reported. “I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with that guy. I think an overwhelming majority of Democrats agree with me, but this idea that we’re going to seize…

As results continue to come in in Michigan’s hotly contested Senate race, there are clear divides emerging based on class. Former public health official Abdul El-Sayed is performing best in the state’s wealthiest and most highly educated areas — while Rep. Haley Stevens is doing better in places with lower average incomes and where fewer voters have college degrees. Among the nearly two dozen counties where at least 95 percent of expected ballots are in, El-Sayed is winning 58.4 percent of the vote in counties where at least 30 percent of adults have a bachelor’s degree, according to a POLITICO…

Belgium relied entirely on imports of the fuel from Russia in July, according to Bloomberg The EU has been importing record volumes of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) despite a push to fully stop imports from Russia, Bloomberg has reported. Plans exist to end long-term imports of Russian LNG from next year after the EU already banned purchases under new short-term contracts. Yet its latest watered-down sanctions package carved out exemptions for European companies to continue transporting Russian LNG to third-country markets after some member states balked at measures they said would damage their own economies. Belgium relied entirely on Russian LNG…

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Hasan Piker, the far-left influencer who has praised Mao Zedong and promoted multiple DSA candidates in this election season, was campaigning with Francesca Hong in Wisconsin this week. While speaking to a crowd, he said that when their movement is done, “a Republican will never be elected in this state ever again.” He repeatedly invokes the ‘working class’ which is ironic considering that the DSA has hardly any working class members and promotes policies that would harm working people more than anyone else. The Daily Wire reports: The frontrunner to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for…

Cuba’s derelict and barely-functional power grid completely failed twice between Sunday and Monday, marking the fourth and fifth nationwide blackouts that have struck the island nation in less than a month. Over the past six decades, the communist Castro regime’s mismanagement of the nation’s power grid and power plants has forced Cubans to live through recurring blackouts — making it one of the longest-standing consequences of communism in Cuba after late murderous dictator Fidel Castro violently took control of the country in 1959. Cuba’s dysfunctional power generation largely relies on seven obsolete thermal power plants, some of which are over four…

In a rural Virginia county that votes roughly 70 percent Republican, a long and fierce political battle for control is approaching its climax as a Catholic conservative candidate and accused RINO (Republican In Name Only) favored by Democrats have a final showdown for the chairmanship of the local GOP. The results of this election, which is a culmination of several months of back-and-forth about who should be the rightful leader of the Warren County Republican Committee (WCRC), will determine whether the most conservative bastion in Northern Virginia will be held down by an America First leader or not.  David Silek…

Incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Barrett says he won’t underestimate progressive Sunrise Movement co-founder William Lawrence as they battle for Michigan’s pivotal 7th District. “The two other candidates that ran just really didn’t take him seriously the entire time, we’re not going to make that same mistake,” Barrett told POLITICO after Lawrence secured the Democratic nomination. “We are not in any way going to be taking this for granted or taking it lightly.” Lawrence won his primary Tuesday after the two more moderate candidates split the vote, teeing up a test of progressive potency in a district that went for President…
