The nation's old guard of Black leaders is still a key force for Democrats, but this year's primaries have revealed the rising influence of Black Gen Z voters who aren't swayed by their elders' seniority, civil rights credentials or endorsements. Driving the news: Michigan's Democratic primary for Senate offered a snapshot of the growing generational divide among Black voters in particular. - U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn , 86, a civil rights icon from South Carolina, campaigned for establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens. But Abdul El-Sayed , 41, overcame Stevens — and the more than $60 million in outside spending backing her — to win by less than 1 percentage point. - A Washington Post analysis found Stevens had an eight-point edge in…

A private examination of records associated with the 2025 New York City mayoral election has raised serious questions about the accuracy of the city’s voter rolls, but it has not established that 228,000 fraudulent ballots were cast or that Zohran Mamdani was improperly installed as mayor. That distinction is important. Election officials should not be permitted to hide behind procedural jargon when confronted with substantial anomalies, but election critics should also avoid presenting disputed data as a final verdict before the underlying records have been independently examined. Mamdani defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the November 2025 general election. The certified results credited Mamdani with approximately…Open

The socialists endured defeat in 2024, but their cause did not die out. For decades, the Democratic Party exploited—but also restrained—its more liberal, anti-American activists. However, as they have become outrageously progressive, communistic, and violent, they have lost control of themselves, and now they are taking over. Democratic Party operatives thought they could maintain control, and for a while, they succeeded. The efforts of aggressive progressive partisans succeeded in taking over the DNC in 1972. They promoted progressive George McGovern for president, and the Democratic National Committee embraced some of the most radical left-wing positions. Thankfully, such communistic madness was duly punished that same year. A…Open

Politics Ben Shapiro Blames ‘Useless White People’ for Socialism The Daily Wire podcaster supported policies that boosted the hard left in New York. The Democratic Socialists of America won big in New York’s Democratic primaries last Tuesday. By the time the ballots were tallied, conservative media had identified a scapegoat: white people. Specifically, “overeducated, useless white people,” in the words of the Daily Wire podcaster Ben Shapiro. Batya Ungar-Sargon—a pro-Trump leftist—wrote a Substack essay with this imperious headline: “Stop Calling Them ‘Socialists.’ They’re Over-Credentialed White Gentrifiers…Open
Their successes follow the most prominent DSA election victory in recent history: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani last summer defeated establishment Democrat Andrew Cuomo for the party’s nomination before again defeating the former New York governor, who reentered the general election as an independent.
Campaign ads featuring AI-generated clips and images once sounded like a laughable concept. Now they're everywhere, with attack ads that place candidates in a wide variety of compromising — and fictitious — situations. Why it matters: This largely unregulated practice is warping the unspoken norms of political campaigns and blurring the line between truth and fiction. - Some campaigns voluntarily disclose this AI use, but it's not required. - Democrats want to change that if they retake control of Congress in November. Driving the news: The latest spot to push the envelope is an attack ad against Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico from a President Trump-aligned group called Citizens for Sanity. - The ad depicts…
