Politico poll | May 2026 Should Chuck Schumer be replaced as leader of the Democratic caucus in the US Senate? (Democratic voters surveyed) ✅Yes: 47% ❌No: 28%

When an out-of-state senator comes to Brooklyn to help DSA-backed candidates defeat incumbent Democrats—steps from the home turf of the Senate and House Democratic leaders—it’s not a local fight. It’s a declaration that the socialist wing intends to take over the Democratic Party

Yeah I'll be honest I don't get the logic behind this non-endorsement. Does AOC have some kind of prior alliance with Reynoso? Or does she just think Valdez doesn't need her support?

SACRAMENTO, California — The California Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Xavier Becerra, only the second candidate and first Democrat it has ever supported in a gubernatorial race. The third house stalwart’s board of directors made the decision after Becerra and Republican rival Steve Hilton spoke at its quarterly meeting in Sacramento on Thursday. “California needs collaboration, not conflict. Secretary Becerra represents the best candidate to embrace that style of leadership,” CalChamber President & CEO Jennifer Barrera said in a statement. Business groups spent heavily during the primary to boost Becerra and attack his leading progressive rival, billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer.

The Democrats path back to the majority in the Senate is through @MaryPeltola in Alaska @RoyCooperNC in North Carolina @turek4iowa in Iowa @SherrodBrown in Ohio @jamestalarico in Texas They deserve your time money and support if a dem majority is your goal. There is no need to support the nazi tattoo having, pathologically lying, alcoholic domestic abuser in Maine. If you choose to support him, don’t pretend it’s about winning the Senate majority.

NY-7 Debate on Pix 11: “Who should be the Democratic nominee in 2028?” Antonio Reynoso: AOC Claire Valdez: AOC Julie Won: AOC

Okay, but are you @AOC going to endorse progressive primary candidates like Claire Valdez, who running in your own backyard?

'when Tom Steyer’s California gubernatorial campaign ran an attack ad against Xavier Becerra’s handling of immigrant children that featured her without a heads-up, the ad was recut so she no longer appeared after some quiet outreach from outside Ocasio-Cortez allies.'

Barf. I wonder how Tina Smith, the incumbent Democrat who’s backing Peggy Flanagan to succeed her, feels about Slotkin stepping on toes to back a below replacement lukewarm candidate.

CNN: AOC is ramping up her role as a key Democratic campaigner this fall — with a major tour in the works to test her national appeal ahead of a potential 2028 campaign. She's also been strategic and selective: notably, she has not endorsed Graham Platner in Maine’s Senate race — even as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have rallied for him — while distancing herself from other controversial or risky associations cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/…

Bernie and AOC need to jump in and endorse Gonzales for Senate. Hickenlooper is a top 10 worst Dem Senator who opposes M4A and voted to fund ICE

Looks callable at this point but I can’t quite do it yet. This would be a huge win for the Democratic Tea Party against an establishment AIPAC Democrat.
