Republicans MOCK Democrat leader after devastating losses to Mamdani-backed socialist candidates
The National Republican Congressional Committee mocked the establishment wing of the Democratic Party after the far-left socialist victories in New York City elections.Three socialist candidates backed by Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani crushed their centrist opposition and tipped the scales in the party toward more extremism.'How can he defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts?'The NRCC sent flowers and a card expressing condolences to the Washington, D.C., office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)."Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called 'Leader' Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party," said NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella in a statement to Fox News.The card read "With heartfelt sympathy," according to a photo posted by Bill Melugin of Fox.Jeffries' Republican counterpart, Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, reiterated how bad the losses were in a media briefing where he pointed out that many Democrat voters booed Jeffries and chanted that he was next."These are socialists. These are Marxists in their ideology," said Johnson."Hakeem Jeffries has a tall task ahead of him right now, he's gotta go out and somehow make a credible pitch to Democrat establishment donors that that's a good national investment right now, that's a tough one to make," he added."He has just proven that he cannot even hold the line in his own back yard," Johnson said. "How can he possibly defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts? This is not your father's Democratic Party, as we see all the time."RELATED: Hunter Biden wants Democrats to learn EXTREME lesson from NYC elections "The Democrat Party — the socialists, the Marxists — have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they're running for Congress. The insurgent left is on the rise."Others, like Hunter Biden, say the results of the elections show that Democrats need to veer to the far left and be far more socialist and far more extremist. "The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led," Biden said. President Donald Trump, on the other hand, replied: "America the Beautiful will NEVER be a communist Country!"Like Blaze News?

James Carville warns 'earthquake' in red state runoff could determine Trump's fate
Veteran political strategist James Carville flagged an upcoming runoff as a potential "earthquake" on Trump's grip on his base.During an episode of the Politics War Room, Carville said that the June 27 runoff for a Senate seat in his home state of Louisiana "is a potential huge earthquake" for Trump.The runoff is part of the race to replace Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who lost in May after Trump endorsed an opposing GOP candidate. Cassidy drew Trump's ire after voting to convict him at his second impeachment trial.The Trump-endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) is running against Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming. Carville argued that a Fleming victory would be a huge blow to Trump's command of the GOP."If Fleming were to win, which most people I talked to think is a possibility, that's an earthquake," Carville said. "That's an earthquake. That's in Louisiana. That's a hardcore red state, as you can imagine. That's Trump going all out for one candidate and getting beaten in his own base."Carville described Fleming as "a real, real right-winger for a long time," and predicted that Fleming would attract "all the people that voted for Clay Higgins (R-LA)," referring to the hardline MAGA congressman."All of them, the most intense Clay Higgins people are all going to be for John Fleming, I can tell you," Carville predicted. "Just watch the race Saturday, and if Fleming wins that, I don't know how else you could interpret that but that Trump's just losing his grip on his base."
