Will Marni von Wilpert Pass the Democrat Purity Test?
The left flank of the Democrat party is already coming for high-tax Marni von Wilpert. In a recently released statement, retread loser Ammar Campa-Najjar said he'd only support von Wilpert if she embraced radical progressive priorities, including abolishing ICE and ending U.S. aid to Israel.
This isn't a fringe candidate trying to make a name for himself. This is the modern Democrat party: radical leftists who are completely out of touch

This isn't a fringe candidate trying to make a name for himself. This is the modern Democrat party: radical leftists who are completely out of touchwith the American people.
So, Marni, will you cave to your base? Or will you risk losing the nearly 20,000 Californians who supported Campa-Najjar in the primary? The clock's ticking.
"High-tax Marni von Wilpert must face the Democrat party's purity test and tell voters where she stands. Von Wilpert is in an impossible position with her radical base, and the noise is only going to get louder." - NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez

MAGA Primary Chaos: New Polling Shows Toss-Up GOP Race for Governor
With 50 days to go until the August 4th primary, new polling from Mitchell Research and Communications shows a wide-open, three-way race between two-time statewide loser John James, self-funder Perry Johnson, and 2010 failed gubernatorial candidate Mike Cox.
The new Mitchell polling has James at 28%, Cox at 27%, and Johnson at 23%. Irrelevant Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt barely registers at 4%.
"Thispolling confirms the Republican race for governor is wide-open and only getting messier," said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Derrick Honeyman. "As they fight it out for Donald Trump's endorsement, John James, Perry Johnson, and Mike Cox have made themselves inseparable from the toxic, corrupt, and cost-raising president. Michigan Democrats look forward to defeating whichever extreme Republican that emerges from this bruising primary."
Johnson has poured more than $20 million into the race so far, while James' campaign has spent $1.2 million and the DeVos-funded pro-James PAC Mission Michigan has spent $3 million so far. Last month, Cox launched a $1 million ad buy.
With Donald Trump not yet endorsing in the primary, the candidates have been embracing Trump and his cost-raising policies--even as Trump's polling is deeply underwater in the state and two-thirds of Michiganders say that prices have risen because of Trump. The Detroit Free Press recently reported that Trump's endorsement is the "800-pound gorilla" in the wide-open race.

"The Michigan Democratic Party congratulates the members of UAW Local 2093 on their successful efforts to secure a new, strong contract. In 2008, these workers took massive concessions to help save American Axle. Since then, the companyrebounded and sent millions to the pockets of its executives -- this contract was more than overdue.
The UAW's fight for better wages and benefits is one all workers share. Their example is one that demonstrates the power of a union and collective action. That's why Michigan Democrats were proud to stand with members of Local 2093 on the picket line during their strike, and why we will always stand with workers."

"On this day in 2012, President Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, bringing young immigrants out of the shadows and protecting them from being deported from the only nation they've ever called home.
"Fourteen years later, many DACA recipients have graduated from school, started their own families, and contributed to our economy in countless ways. They've dedicated themselves to improving their communities and ourcountry, but under the Trump administration, more than 170 of them have been deported. All while Donald Trump and Republicans continue to relentlessly spread fear, attack immigrants, and brutalize our streets with masked federal agents.
"While Trump intentionally delays processing DACA renewals and Republicans shovel billions of dollars with no strings attached to out-of-control agencies like ICE and CBP, Democrats will defend law-abiding Dreamers and immigrants being scapegoated for cheap political purposes.
"We will continue fighting to restore sanity and security to our immigration system by building pathways to citizenship, delivering on border security, and ensuring that America's immigration system upholds our highest values."

MS NOW: Aaron Ford Discusses Nevada Gubernatorial Race on MS NOW with Al Sharpton
Watch the full interview HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isPtSNA64ak), with key excerpts below:
"We are suffering from what is called the Lombardo-Trump economy. We have a governor who has ignored the circumstances of regular Nevadans on every single day basis. This Lombardo Trump economy has led to higher housing prices, our gas prices, higher grocery prices, our health care system... prices are going higher and higher on a daily basis, and what we have, instead of a governor who's looking out for what I call the entirety of the Nevada family, is someone who cow tows and kisses up to Donald Trump. He is becoming Donald Trump's doormat, always lying down, afraid to stand up for the football, Nevadans, and Nevadans deserve an individual who's going to be a champion, looking out for Nevada families, and that's going to be me."
"When these tariffs were put out, you should have, you should have seen Joe Lombardo, who knows that our economy runs on tourism, stand up against those tariffs and tell the president that it was a bad idea and that it would be detrimental to our state. He didn't. Instead, he said we, as Nevadans, should, and I quote, feel a little pain. We don't need pain, we need leadership."
"Our state is going to have an attorney, a governor, and me, who is going to pass bills that are going to improve opportunities to purchase homes... We're going to tackle health care by looking at the prescription drug prices and capping some of those at the Medicare negotiated price..."
"Anyone who was hurting Nevadans, I stand up against. I've beaten Donald Trump in court dozens of times, and that's just this term. His first term, I beat him upwards of 100 times, working with other colleagues of mine."
"I was a single parent in college, living on food stamps that kept my son and me fed, Medicaid kept us [healthy], and so when I see those things under attack, I stand up and fight back, and I sued to get the 500,000 Nevadans their SNAP benefits, while Joe Lombardo was in Washington, DC, kissing up to Donald Trump to get an endorsement. That's the kind of fighter that we need, someone like me who's going to be able to stand up and push back against nonsense and defend Nevadans."
