Four states vote Tuesday, with Maine’s key Senate race capturing the most national attention and Trump picking sides in South Carolina’s race for governor.
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt missing out on the general election is the latest example of voters in a large, Democrat-run city flirting with change but then opting to maintain the status quo. This isn’t even the first time this has happened in Los Angeles. Mayor Karen Bass was elected four years ago over […]
Graham Platner and Lindsey Graham are both hoping for comfortably big victories.
Any indication of tepid support for Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, will be seen as a warning sign about his chances against Senator Susan Collins, the Republican incumbent.

The race for California governor is on track for a two-person runoff in November between veteran Democratic politician Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton, a British-born television personality endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Election officials are “crooked just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked," Trump told a reporter.
President Donald Trump's supporters are spreading a flurry of conspiracy theories about mail ballots after MAGA-aligned reality star Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayoral primary race — but he never had a chance, election data analyst Harry Enten told CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Monday evening."Harry, can you tell us what the numbers actually are and what we are looking at in places like L.A.?" asked Collins.Enten started off by acknowledging "we would rather the system be that the votes were counted faster in California." But the fact remains, he continued, "this is ... the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard."For starters, he said, this wasn't even the outcome the Democratic establishment in L.A. wanted. Incumbent mayor Karen Bass "wanted to face Spencer Pratt, for the simple reason that she would easily beat him. You could look at the runoff polls, right? [City Councilwoman] Nithya Raman actually is ahead of Karen Bass. Spencer Pratt was nearly 20 points behind Karen Bass."Indeed, he noted, net favorability polls show Bass "is greatly unpopular," but that Pratt "might be the one person in the [entirety of] Los Angeles who is running for mayor, who is less popular than she was. He would have been a God-given gift to her if she, in fact, faced him in the runoff." This is further underscored, he said, by the fact that Trump, whom Pratt heavily attached himself to, is down around 55 points in the city."What a surprise ... that a Republican is struggling in a city in which just 15 percent of the registered voters in that city are Republican," concluded Enten. "This isn't a conspiracy. It's simple math." - YouTube www.youtube.com
