MSNBC host Joe Scarborough unloaded on Democratic leaders for letting extreme voices define their party unchallenged, warning they are repeating the same mistakes that cost them the 2024 presidential election. Scarborough used his MSNBC program to target Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's handling of questions about Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist who once called for abolishing the police, prisons, and Thanksgiving.

A far-left Twitch streamer and a progressive Michigan Senate candidate laughed off longtime Democratic strategist James Carville's warning that he might quit the party over their growing influence, calling the threat a selling point. Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, sat down for a video on Piker's YouTube channel the day before the primary and treated Carville's ultimatum as a punchline. Carville had appeared on Fox News' The Sunday Briefing days earlier and drawn a hard line: he and Piker would not remain in the same political party. One of them, Carville said, was going to leave, and it might be him. Rather than worry about losing a strategist who helped elect Bill…Open
