(Photos: Mark Schiefelbein and Jeff Chiu) President Donald Trump vented it’s “not possible” for Spencer Pratt (R) to have lost his runner-up status in the Los Angeles mayoral race legitimately — before warning Democrats are now pushing to screw Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton next. The president went off on California’s elections in a Truth Social post on Monday. Trump said the Golden State’s long elections resemble a “3rd World Nation” where the ballot counting is clearly “Rigged.” He posted: Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had. 3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections! Now they’ll be working on great guy Steve Hilton. Won’t have results for, possibly, TWO WEEKS, according to officials. President DJT Trump’s post comes the day after Pratt’s seemingly cozy lead evaporated. Democratic socialist and LA city council member Nithya Raman (D) jumped ahead of Pratt after the latest batch of votes were counted on Sunday night, helping her erase a 40,000 vote edge that Pratt had after Election Night last week. It appeared Pratt — whose campaign focused on the limp response from Mayor Karen Bass (D) to the wildfires that burned down his home and 12,000 others in early 2025 — was poised to finish in the top two after Election Night. The party got pretty lively as the margaritas were flowing at Pratt HQ last week. Even Raman seemed pessimistic about her odds when she teared up while addressing her supporters. But the late-arriving ballots that have been counted in the days since then have largely favored her. Decision Desk HQ projected Raman will now advance in the race and face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D) in November. As for Hilton, he is in second place in the CA gubernatorial race. He has received 25.9% of the votes, compared to Tom Steyer (D) in third place with 21.5% of the votes so far; California has counted 72% of its votes by Monday afternoon, according to The New York Times. Trump gave his “COMPLETE & TOTAL ENDORSEMENT” to Hilton in April. If the ex-Fox News host can hold onto second place, he will advance to face former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra (D) in November’s general election. But there is still a ways to go to see who will replace Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). California’s elections routinely take weeks to finalize — which has led to criticism from more than just Trump; journalist Nate… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Ex-Biden Honcho Ron Klain Advising Ro Khanna as He Mulls 2028 White House Bid: R...
(Meg Kinnard/Susan Walsh/AP photos) Ron Klain, the former chief of staff to President Joe Biden, has reportedly been advising Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who may be eyeing a 2028 presidential run. Klain, who now works in the private sector as Airbnb’s chief legal officer, has been moonlighting as an adviser to several Democratic candidates, including Khanna, Politico reported on Monday. Klain has served in multiple high-profile political roles, first under Vice President Al Gore and then-VP Biden, before becoming President Barack Obama’s Ebola response coordinator in 2014. Shortly after winning the 2020 election, Biden appointed Klain as his chief of staff, where he was a driving force in the administration until stepping down in 2023. At the time, Klain reportedly told colleagues that he needed to “move on.” Now, Klain has reportedly been advising candidates such as New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), along with Kennedy scion and congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg, among others. When reached by Politico, Klain declined an interview, saying he wanted his political work to stay “low-key.” While Klain was a staunch defender of Biden while at the White House, he stabbed his former boss in the back last year as questions mounted over the former president’s cognitive state while he ran for reelection. Klain told author Craig Whipple that during a disastrous 2024 debate with Donald Trump, Biden “didn’t know what Trump had been saying and couldn’t grasp what the back and forth was.” With numerous Democratic names now being floated as potential White House contenders against whoever Trump anoints as his political successor, Klain’s choice to help out Khanna is a significant one. Khanna has gained notoriety over the past year as a face behind the push to release the Epstein files and one of the few Democrats to make frequent appearances on Fox News. On betting site Kalshi, Khanna (2.8%) sits in 11th place among likely Democratic 2028 contenders behind Gavin Newsom (21%), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (9.8%), and Pete Buttigieg (5.4%).The post Ex-Biden Honcho Ron Klain Advising Ro Khanna as He Mulls 2028 White House Bid: Report first appeared on Mediaite.

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) said on Monday that he would support replacing Senate candidate Graham Platner on the ballot in Maine, claiming that the Democratic Party needed to be “consistent.” Quigley joined CNN’s Kate Bolduan to discuss Platner’s upcoming primary election on Tuesday. Platner’s would-be opponent, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, suspended her campaign in April, though a source told CNN last week that she was gaining renewed support after a recent The New York Times report alleging that Platner demeaned women he had previously dated and was occasionally physically threatening. Platner denied the allegations to MS NOW host Chris Hayes on Thursday, calling them “simply not true.” Boldaun highlighted some Democrats’ continued support for Platner, asking Quigley whether the candidate was “a good representation” of the party. “You know, he isn’t,” said Quigley. He continued: And I’ve been part of the impeachment investigation, the Russia investigation, talked about the problems I’ve had with President [Donald] Trump now, into my second term with him. We have to try to be consistent here. And for all the reasons we have problems with many of our Republicans, especially this president, we can’t just turn our minds and say, “No, it’s different with this guy,” just because he’s got a D next to his name. So that’s just my opinion. If there’s a way to replace him on the ballot, I’d be all for it. But as Rahm [Emanuel] said, at this point, I guess it’s up to the voters in Maine. Quigley’s colleague, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA), made a similar claim on Friday, telling CNN that Platner had “disqualified” himself due to his string of scandals. “I think it’s so distressing all of the stories that are coming out, and they’re more and more it seems by the hour,” she said. “I’m not a voter in Maine, but he has disqualified himself in my eyes. He is not qualified to be a representative, a senator. We’ll see what Maine does about it, and I know Governor Mills remains on the ballot, but he has disqualified himself.” Watch above via CNN.The post Democratic Congressman Says He Would Support Replacing Graham Platner: ‘I’d Be All for It’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Video showed terrified students from the Deped Mahayahay Elementary School, located in Malita, Davao Occidental, just starting the school year screaming and scrambling to escape a collapsing roof. Additional video showed plaster crumbling off of swaying buildings. School officials reported that all students and teachers were safely evacuated, and no one was injured. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that the 7.8 magnitude quake struck off the island of Mindanao, the major island in the southern Philippines that more than 25 million people call home. “The earthquake had a depth of about 22 miles, a relatively shallow depth,” Fox Weather reported. “According to the USGS, the initial earthquake was severe and had an estimated intensity of VIII on the Mercalli intensity scale, meaning the shaking was intense, felt by everyone in the area and caused widespread alarm among residents.” The Filipino government says it has mobilized disaster response teams. At least 32 people have been killed as rescuers sift through the rubble searching for survivors. Reports say several multistory buildings collapsed in General Santos, which is the closest major city to the epicenter. Aftershocks continue to hit the area with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 4.0. Philippine disaster officials have recorded more than 150 aftershocks so far. The quake triggered tsunami warnings in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported that waves up to 10 feet were possible along the coasts of the Philippines. Waves up to 3 feet were predicted for Indonesia and Malaysia. Taiwan, Japan, Guam, Papua New Guinea and other nearby islands were placed under tsunami advisories, although some are starting to be lifted. “The Philippines is one of the most seismically active countries in the world due to its location on the active Pacific Ring of Fire — the massive, 25,000-mile ring of volcanoes and tectonic plate boundaries where 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes occur,” Fox Weather reported.

- ‘Stolen Before Our Eyes’: MAGA World Erupts as Trump Claims LA Race ‘Rigge...
Screenshot via NBCLA MAGA influencers and pundits have rallied behind President Donald Trump’s claims that California’s vote count is “CROOKED” and “rigged,” rallying behind allegations that the Los Angeles mayoral race is being unfairly tilted against Republican candidate Spencer Pratt. The backlash came after Pratt, a Trump-backed Republican, slipped from second to third place in the contest as additional ballots were counted. Progressive City Council member Nithya Raman (D) moved ahead of Pratt on Sunday, putting her in position to face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass (D) in a November runoff if current trends hold. California officials say the shift reflects the state’s lengthy ballot-counting process, which includes mail ballots arriving close to Election Day. Trump, however, has asserted that the changing margins are proof that the election was “rigged” and “crooked,” although has offered no evidence to support allegations of fraud. The president’s stance has quickly spread through conservative social media, where allies and high-profile MAGA figures echoed his allegations, casting doubt on the updated results. What followed was a chorus of outrage from some of MAGA’s most influential pundits, like Benny Johnson, who said the shift “defies all mathematical probability”: They want you to believe this happened in the LA Mayors race… 3rd place jumps to 1st in *every* ballot drop *after* Election Day Defies all mathematical probability, the law of averages and has never happened in US election history No one with a functional brain believes this pic.twitter.com/dytiUmW6zI — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) June 8, 2026 OutKick founder Clay Travis quipped that “no one with a functional brain believes these results”: Five days after the LA election, Spencer Pratt falls to third place and a woman who hardly anyone voted for in person, Nithya Raman, totally dominated in mail voting to come in second. No one with a functional brain believes these results. — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 8, 2026 Fox News Digital columnist David Marcus said the election was being “stolen before our eyes”: We just watched 2 major California elections stolen before our eyes, and cowardly John Thune still won’t pass the Save America Act. He’s worse than Pence. — David Marcus (@BlueBoxDave) June 7, 2026 Others piled on: A woman with absolutely zero following, no groundswell of support, and no name ID absolutely killed it in mail-in voting in Los Angeles.
