Yes, that has happened because the two most popular candidates make it to the general.

This happens the other way too … I had two GOP choices for my state rep and refused to vote for either. Sometimes there are too many Dems and they split the blue vote.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

Which CA Republican could possibly win? Their candidates (like Garvey) have been awful.

It will definitely be two Dems 😁 that’s why her response to the reporter was strange and overly aggressive.

She will most likely be running against a Dem so relying just on blue voters is not smart.

I’ve always liked Katie but do not agree with her attitude at all.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Trump's tariffs: "It's bumpy. I'm talking to major manufacturing companies that are saying...'We're having problems with these tariffs. And now we're having problems, we can't get supplies'...There's problems."

The Murdoch Settlement reminds me of my favorite thing in the family's battle: the transcript of Rupert's attorney trying to undermine son James' ability to run Fox News by pointing out that he didn't understand Fox News' business model was telling viewers what they wanted to hear, not the truth.

A dozen Korean projects in the US already on the chopping block.

This insult will outlast Americans' fleeting memory for a generation of Koreans at least.

We get to call Donald Trump a rapist and when he lost the judgment in E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald Trump he has to let you do it.
