Avi Lewis, widely considered the frontrunner since the beginning of the race, clinched the NDP leadership on the first ballot with 56 percent of the vote.

The labor of this kind of organizing was invisible and deeply exhausting. In a precarious workplace, where a so-called 'performance review' could amount to job loss, organizing meant building a bridge while standing on it.

When child care can cost more than your rent or a mortgage, or you have to sacrifice a paycheck in order to be able to take care of a loved one, that can motivate how people vote. Each election cycle, we see candidates recognizing that more and more.

Three recent appointments demonstrate Mamdani's commitment to that long-cited political adage that personnel is policy. He and his team are drawing qualified, visionary, sometimes unconventional talent from the best of previous administrations-all deployed to pull on as many levers as possible to make New York a more just and affordable city.

In perhaps a vain attempt to prove themselves moderate, the Democratic lawmakers helped override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's vetoes. Voters responded with the kind of ballot-box fury that should serve as a lesson to other incumbents. It wasn't just a case that the incumbents lost. They were buried, with several of them getting trounced by margins of 40 points or more.

We need someone who has new ideas, new energy and a new perspective to be an advocate for our community. I'm not running against a person, I'm running against the problem, and the problem is the status quo.

In California, the top two vote-getters in the governor's race, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the November general election. That means if too many Democratic candidates split the vote, it could create a situation where two Republicans end up in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the primary election, thus locking Democrats out of the November runoff.

Rogers insisted he was a very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections, but my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful! I really do promise. He added, I have great respect and admiration for Rep. Crockett, and I regret that my words suggested otherwise. I just want us to win and I will be better at finding ways to help.

Just weeks before early voting began, the North Carolina State Board of Elections sent letters to more than 241,000 registered voters notifying them that they did not have a driver's license number or partial Social Security number in their voter registration file that was validated when matched to government databases. The board acknowledged that mismatches were frequently caused by minor discrepancies - hyphens, apostrophes, name changes, typos - with no bearing on voter eligibility.

The Liberal Party announced Saturday afternoon that family physician Dr. Danielle Martin will be their candidate for the upcoming federal byelection in University-Rosedale, the downtown Toronto riding Chrystia Freeland held until she stepped down earlier this month. Martin is the chair of the department of family and community medicine at the University of Toronto. In 2014, she defended Canada's health care system before a partisan U.S. Senate committee an act that received widespread attention at the time.

The first 2028 presidential primaries are just two years away. And for the first time since 2016, both parties are expected to have serious competition for their nominations. While Vice-President J.D. Vance is likely to enter the cycle as a formidable front-runner for the GOP nod, recent history suggests there will be lots of other candidates. After all, Donald Trump drew 12 challengers in 2024.

Ten months is an eternity in political time, but from today's vantage point, Democrats have to feel pretty good about their chances of delivering an electoral shellacking to President Donald Trump and his congressional allies in November. To be clear, this has very little to do with any change in the campaign strategy, policy thinking, or moral imagination of national Democrats.
