Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin has publicly endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the New York City mayoral race, highlighting Mamdani’s campaign to make the city more affordable. This endorsement comes despite the fact that some prominent Democrats have been slow to endorse Mamdani, a “democratic socialist.” Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was once the frontrunner, is now running an independent campaign, and has labeled Mamdani a “fringe” candidate. Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have also attacked Mamdani, adding a level of complexity to the upcoming election.

In a surprising turn of events, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has endorsed Graham Platner, an oyster farmer and former U.S. Marine, in his bid to unseat Republican Senator Susan Collins in Maine. Platner’s grassroots campaign, dubbed “the oysterman,” has already garnered significant support, raising $1 million and signing up 3,000 people in just ten days. Sanders’ endorsement, which will include a Labor Day rally, clashes with some Democrats who are reportedly backing Governor Janet Mills to enter the race. Meanwhile, Collins faces declining approval ratings and has been criticized for her actions, particularly by younger Democrats.

According to a recent report, President Donald Trump is actively researching the New York City mayoral race, seeking insights from various sources. He has reportedly consulted with pollsters, fellow politicians, and even had a secret phone call with former governor Andrew Cuomo. While it is uncertain what was discussed, this is notable given the past political clashes between the two. The motivation behind Trump’s interest may be to endorse Cuomo, who is, in the opinion of some, the best chance of defeating Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.

It has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to endorse Kamala Harris for president, and honestly, that’s a little surreal. When I think about the role of a columnist, the first image that springs to mind is not that of a political pundit, but rather a person whose job is to use humor to hold a mirror up to society’s absurdities. Yet here I am, in what feels like a moment that demands serious reflection, navigating the chaotic terrain of the 2024 election. It’s ironic that my endorsement matters so much now that traditional media outlets, like the Washington Post, have opted for silence.… Continue reading
As a devoted fan of Bruce Springsteen, his recent endorsement of Kamala Harris and his scathing criticism of Donald Trump do not come as a surprise to me. Springsteen, known as “The Boss,” is not one to shy away from speaking his mind, especially when it comes to issues of social justice and political leadership. In his endorsement of Harris, he has boldly called out Trump as the “most dangerous candidate in my lifetime.” This statement holds weight, especially coming from a musician who has captured the hearts of millions with his honest and impassioned lyrics over the years.
Springsteen’s endorsement of Harris not only reflects his personal beliefs but also resonates with many who view Trump’s presidency as a threat to the core values of democracy.… Continue reading
Sam Elliott in a pro-Harris ad: ‘Are we really going back down that same f***ing broken road?’ – This sentiment echoed by the legendary actor strikes a chord with me on a deep level. Sam Elliott, known for his rugged masculinity and iconic voice, has always been a symbol of traditional American values. His endorsement of Vice President Harris in a recent ad by The Lincoln Project is not only refreshing but also thought-provoking.
As I watched the ad, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of validation. The way Sam Elliott, with his calm demeanor, calls out the divisiveness and hatred perpetuated by one candidate while championing change and hope with Kamala Harris resonated with me.… Continue reading
As I sit back and ponder the recent news of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsing Donald Trump, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment and betrayal. The Kennedy family has always been associated with values of justice, equality, and progress. To see one of their own stray so far from those ideals is disheartening. RFK Jr.’s decision to support a man like Trump goes against everything the Kennedy name stands for.
It’s clear that RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump was driven by ulterior motives rather than genuine beliefs. The fact that he is willing to sell out his family’s legacy for personal gain is truly disheartening.… Continue reading
