📰 Former Elizabeth Warren foe flips script on her alliance with Mamdani: ‘Party of the extreme left’
The New York City mayoral race is influencing other political races, such as the 2026 New Hampshire Senate race, where former Sen. Scott Brown is seeking the Republican nomination. Brown criticized Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Elizabeth Warren for their joint press conference, highlighting their ties to the far left. Brown accused his likely Democratic opponent, Rep. Chris Pappas, of aligning with AOC and Bernie Sanders on key issues, labeling him as “Comrade Chris” in a digital ad. Republicans are aiming to link Mamdani to Democrats across the country, portraying him as a socialist and extremist, which they believe won’t resonate with the people of New Hampshire. Brown emphasized the differences between Warren and Pappas, suggesting that Pappas lacks strong beliefs and tends to follow leadership rather than taking clear stances on issues.

The student, TJ Katz, criticized Mamdani’s perceived lack of support for the Jewish community and worries that his leadership may not adequately address issues of hate and discrimination. Katz highlighted the importance of feeling safe on campus and in the city, especially as Jewish voters are reportedly shifting towards the Republican Party due to concerns about candidates like Mamdani.

📰 California launches redistricting fight to ‘nullify’ Texas GOP plan, with Dems poised to gain 5 seats
California Governor Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a plan for a special election in November to put California’s redistricting proposal on the ballot, aiming to counter Texas’s efforts. Newsom stated that the plan, if adopted, could allow Democrats to gain five additional seats by bypassing the state’s independent redistricting commission. The move is seen as a response to Texas’s redistricting push, with Newsom criticizing Texas Governor Greg Abbott and former President Donald Trump. Texas Democrats have fled the state to prevent a quorum and halt the vote on the redistricting plan, which they argue is unconstitutional and partisan. California would be the first Democratic-led state to actively pursue new congressional district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms in reaction to Texas’s actions.
