📰 Mamdani-mentum: Who are the other socialist candidates soaring among Democrats
Minnesota state Sen. Omar Fateh, a Muslim democratic socialist running for mayor of Minneapolis, is compared to Zohran Mamdani, a fellow Muslim democratic socialist who recently won the Democratic Party mayoral nomination in New York City. Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo and other candidates marked a significant step towards potentially becoming New York City’s first Muslim and millennial mayor. Fateh, the first Somali-American elected to the Minnesota Senate, aims to raise the city’s minimum wage, increase affordable housing, and address police violence if elected mayor. Republicans have targeted both Mamdani and Fateh, with Mamdani’s far-left proposals drawing particular attention. The Minneapolis Democratic Farmer Labor Party is set to decide on endorsing a mayoral candidate, with Fateh likely to receive their support or the party may remain neutral. Other candidates supported by the Democratic Socialists of America are gaining attention in municipal races nationwide.

📰 Longtime Joe Biden aide to appear under subpoena after Jill’s ‘work husband’ pleads Fifth
Former Biden administration staffer Annie Tomasini is set to testify before congressional investigators after being subpoenaed by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. Tomasini, a former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for ex-President Joe Biden, was initially scheduled for a voluntary interview but her counsel requested the subpoena. Comer is investigating allegations that Biden’s former top aides covered up signs of his mental and physical decline and whether executive actions were taken without his full knowledge. Tomasini and another aide, Anthony Bernal, were reported to have loaded a Q&A into a prompter to help Biden during interviews. The book “Original Sin” describes Tomasini and Bernal as close aides to the Bidens, with significant access to the White House living quarters.
The investigation by Comer has raised concerns about potential cover-ups and lack of transparency within the Biden administration. Biden has denied any wrongdoing and stated that he made all decisions independently. The probe has also highlighted the close relationship between Tomasini, Bernal, and the Bidens, with the aides being described as intensely loyal. Critics of the investigation view it as a politically motivated attempt to smear Biden’s team and potentially prosecute political opponents. The involvement of Tomasini and Bernal in key roles within the White House has drawn attention to their loyalty to the Biden family above all else.
📰 SCOOP: House Republican campaign arm anchors Mamdani to potentially vulnerable Democrats
Republicans are using Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who won the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, as a target to criticize Democrats in competitive races for the upcoming midterms. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has launched ads linking Mamdani to House Democrats in New York and New Jersey, aiming to capitalize on his progressive platform and controversial statements. Mamdani’s victory in the mayoral primary has exacerbated existing divides within the Democratic Party, with his proposals for free services and critiques of capitalism drawing attention and criticism. The NRCC’s messaging portrays Mamdani as a dangerous socialist, aligning him with other Democratic politicians and their supposed radical agenda, although Democrats argue that the attacks may not be effective in diverse political landscapes outside of New York City. The article also highlights reactions from targeted Democrats like Reps. Suozzi, Gillen, Riley, and Pou, who distance themselves from Mamdani’s positions while defending their own records and values.
