- Fetterman Warns Dems Senate Seat Now ‘In Play’ After Far-Left Candidate’s ...
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) warned Democrats they’re facing a “real situation” in Michigan following progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate primary win against centrist Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI). Fetterman joined Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s The Situation Room on Wednesday, following a number of primary elections on Tuesday. Fetterman joined Blitzer just as El-Sayed’s race was called, making him the latest progressive liberal to enjoy a primary victory. Fetterman, who has publicly feuded with El-Sayed, said that Senate seat is now “in play” for Republicans, arguing El-Sayed’s victory only shows a divided base that Republicans can take advantage of. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers, whom Fetterman warned is a “strong candidate.” The Pennsylvania congressman noted that Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) previously only beat Rogers by a thin margin. The senator also called out El-Sayed for associating and campaigning with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who has a history of controversial statements about the United States, communism, the terror group Hamas, and more. Fetterman said: Well, I think it definitely puts the seat in play. Michigan typically doesn’t really elect a Republican in the Senate for a while. And now Rogers was a very strong candidate, objectively. He barely lost to Slotkin and she is a very strong candidate, and she just barely won back then. And now if you see some of the polling, El-Sayed is under five or maybe more points against him. And now some real money is going to flood into that state. And a lot of the things that he has done and said during the primary are going to come back to haunt [him], like campaigning with a guy that loves Hamas and is very proud to stand with communist regimes. Fetterman, who has been threatening to leave the Democratic Party if they go too far on Israel, called out El-Sayed’s campaign as “very arrogant” and warned he presents a “real situation” for the party. “He had a very arrogant campaign and now today he just discovered that less than a majority of your state’s only Democrats didn’t even want you and vote for you. You came in around 48%, so you have a real situation as Democrats. Now that puts that seat in play,” he said. El-Sayed’s race was called after he received roughly 48% of the vote, or 740,950. Stevens meanwhile brought in about 47% of the vote, or 726,057 votes.

Hurt joined fellow Fox & Friends hosts Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt in breaking down some of Tuesday’s races, including losses by progressive candidates like Cori Bush in a primary with Rep. Wesley Ball (D-MO). Jones argued that voters largely reject far-left ideas and “nonsense” and candidates associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, while Hurt argued there are races that show some hope for the Democratic Party. “It’s kind of funny because obviously we’ve been focusing a lot on a lot of these where the craziest socialists are — because that’s the most important story because if the socialists take over the Democrat Party, the party is doomed,” Hurt said. “But, you know, there have been a number of cases around the country where Democrat voters have decided, like, we’re out of here.” He then cited Bush’s race, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) losing his primary race back in May, and progressive candidate and sex therapist Maureen Galindo’s doomed campaign in a Texas congressional runoff primary. Some far-left and DSA candidates, however, have found success, including open democratic socialist and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), who successfully propped up other candidates through his endorsements. “Al Green lost his seat to a less crazy person, perhaps maybe even a slightly sane person. Cori Bush, they’re like, yeah, we’re not doing this,” Hurt said. “And of course, remember the candidate in Texas, the sex therapist… who wanted to imprison zionists, and she lost. So obviously the most important, biggest story are all socialists who are taking over the Democratic Party, but there are a lot of sane Democrat voters who are also being like, we’re off this crazy train.” Progressive liberal Abdul El-Sayed found success among far-left candidates. He saw his race called on Wednesday by several outlets after he held a thin lead over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) overnight.

- James Talarico May Have Violated the Very State Voting Laws He’s Accused His G...
(Photo Credit: James Talarico on YouTube) Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico accused his Republican opponent of voter fraud — all while being guilty of the same violations himself, according to two new reports on Wednesday. The reports — from The Texas Tribune and ProPublica — found Talarico “may have violated state voting laws” by voting in five elections using his parents’ address instead of the one where he actually resides. At minimum, it would be hypocritical, given what he said about Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton last month. Talarico accused his GOP rival of going on a “voter fraud witch hunt” while “committing voter fraud the whole time, voting illegally in six elections in a row from the wrong address.” But Talarico reportedly broke state law in a similar fashion, multiple times. The Tribune explained : Piecing together Talarico’s voting history is more difficult than it is for Paxton. Talarico, unlike the attorney general, redacts his address on the Travis County voter rolls under a state law that allows some public officials to shield personal information for safety reasons. But unredacted records Talarico’s campaign provided the newsrooms show that he listed his parents’ address on his voter registration in November 2021. He purchased a home in June 2022 but did not change his voter registration address until September 2024, the news organizations’ review of Travis County records shows. The new address is redacted, but Talarico’s campaign previously told the newsrooms that he currently lives and is registered to vote at the north Austin home he owns. Texas law requires residents to register to vote where they live, the outlet added. Talarico last week bragged to MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell, “When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away.” But not all tough questions, apparently. His campaign declined to answer questions from The Tribune and ProPublica about his residency and voting history, including questions about when he started living at the home he bought. Talarico campaign spokesperson JT Ennis told The Tribune the focus on the liberal state lawmaker’s voting history is “a lame attempt by Ken Paxton to deflect from his own hypocrisy and career of corruption.” Watch Talarico on O’Donnell’s show above.The post James Talarico May Have Violated the Very State Voting Laws He’s Accused His GOP Opponent of Breaking: Reports first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot Social media influencer Hasan Piker firmly rejected the notion that progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has to appeal to moderates to win November’s general election. Early Wednesday morning, the Michigan Democratic primary was called in favor of El-Sayed. A progressive, El-Sayed was backed by the Democratic Socialists of America despite not being a formal member of the organization. He defeated Haley Stevens, whose corporate donors became the subject of intense scrutiny by El-Sayed. AIPAC, the pro-Israel group, reportedly donated tens of millions to Stevens’s campaign. With the win, El-Sayed will now take on Trump-backed Republican Mike Rogers in November for one of Michigan’s U.S. Senate seats. During his livestream late Tuesday night, Piker responded to the narrative that, should El-Sayed win, he would have a lot of work to do to appeal to more moderate voters. He called everyone pushing that sentiment “unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of sh*t,” saying: Here’s the f*cking take nuke for you, OK? You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of sh*t, OK? You literally called the dude a f*cking terrorist for months on end, and called him a sexist, misogynist, terrorist, bad candidate, fake doctor — when he has like two fucking degrees — and now you’re gonna sit there and be like, “Well, you know, you really got to come to me now.” Like, what are you talking about? Do you want to f*cking win or not? Lock the f*ck in, OK? Lock the f*ck in. @hasanthehun popped the fuck off here: "Everyone being like, 'Abdul has a fuck-ton of work to do mending bridges', here's the fucking take nuke for you: You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of shit. You literally called the dude a fucking terrorist for months on end… pic.twitter.com/m3D29EV2nL — adri ♡ (@socialistadri) August 5, 2026 The Michigan race was widely viewed as a litmus test for the progressive movement within the Democratic Party. Months earlier, the political world was stunned by a trio of Democratic Socialist wins in New York; but critics were quick to pour cold water on the excitement by pointing out the fact that the wins came in a blue state. To many, winning in a battleground state like Michigan proved the progressive moment is a legitimate threat to the Democratic establishment.The post Hasan Piker Blows Up at Critics Saying El-Sayed Has to Mend Fences With Moderates: ‘You Are All Unbelievably Islamophobic Pieces of… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Mike Johnson Says Embattled House Republican’s Fate Is ‘an Issue for the Vot...
J. Scott Applewhite/Joe Maiorana, File/AP Photos House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refused to speak out on behalf of embattled House Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), who has been entrenched in an ongoing domestic abuse drama with his ex-wife, Sen. Bernie Moreno’s (R-OH) daughter. Miller has vehemently denied allegations domestic abuse allegations from Emily Moreno, including claims he threw scalding water at her, held a gun to her head, and broke their 2-year-old’s collarbone. Bernie Moreno was publicly drawn into the conflict in recent days, saying his ex-son-in-law has dragged the family through the “seventh level of hell.” Moreno joined CNN’s Jake Tapper Tuesday for what many declared a disastrous interview, in which he claimed Johnson was standing by him. Politico’s Dasha Burns asked Johnson point blank about Miller’s claim in a sit-down interview: DASHA BURNS: Miller’s ex-wife said he poured hot water on her, held a gun to her head broke their daughter’s collarbone. Miller has of course has denied these allegations but today he said on CNN that you are “standing behind him.” Are you? MIKE JOHNSON I haven’t spoken to Max in a few days, I’ve been traveling nonstop haven’t had an opportunity to do that. I think what Max is suggesting there is that I’ve been intellectually consistent always have since before I became speaker and certainly over the last almost three years — this applies equally to Republicans and Democrats — we don’t take disciplinary action against members for allegations. He’s vehemently denying this, its in his own words a nasty divorce proceeding and its gotten ugly and its gotten public, but he’s saying the same things privately to members that he is publicly that he denies all this, and he thinks its a hit job on him. BURNS: Will you tell him to drop out? JOHNSON: No, I will tell Max what I tell everyone: these are serious allegations. I’m the father of two daughters who work in Capitol Hill I mean the allegations are serious. I think Max is taking them seriously. I think our colleagues are, but again we have to allow this process to play out its just begun. BURNS: I mean the president called him — Max Miller said, this that the president called him and told him things aren’t looking good for you. JOHNSON: Well they don’t look good right now of course, but again what should a speaker do… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Trump-Endorsed Candidate Suffers Embarrassing Loss to an Opponent Who Dropped Ou...
AP Photo/Alex Brandon President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate in one of Michigan’s Republican primaries suffered an embarrassing defeat Tuesday night to a rival who dropped out of the race weeks ago but remained on the ballot. Decision Desk projected Thomas Smith as the GOP primary winner for the state’s 8th Congressional District late Tuesday when, with 99% of votes counted, he held 50.4% of the vote. Trump-backed candidate Amir Hassan, meanwhile, was well behind on 33.2%. The winner of the Republican nomination will face Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI) in November. Smith’s victory, however, comes weeks after he suspended his campaign, but remained on the ballot after withdrawing from the contest. Trump repeatedly promoted Hassan in the closing months of the campaign, using Truth Social several times to urge Republican voters to back the former U.S. Navy serviceman and federal law enforcement officer, reiterating his support as recently as Monday. “Amir Hassan has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Michigan’s 8th Congressional District,” Trump wrote, while also attacking McDonald Rivet over her voting record. He claimed the Democratic congresswoman “voted against NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, and NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY and, if she and the Dumocrats ever got in, all of these things would be terminated.” (Screengrab via Truth Social) Following his exit, Smith publicly endorsed fellow Republican Al Lemmo and appeared in a Facebook video wearing a “Lemmo for Congress” hat. Despite receiving Smith’s backing, Lemmo trailed badly, taking just 16.4% of the vote with nearly all ballots counted. The defeat will hardly hurt Trump, whose endorsed candidates elsewhere enjoyed dozens of primary successes across several states this cycle, including districts defeating prominent Republican incumbents. On Tuesday night, he took to Truth Social for a victory lap celebrating several MAGA candidate wins.The post Trump-Endorsed Candidate Suffers Embarrassing Loss to an Opponent Who Dropped Out of the Race first appeared on Mediaite.
