Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) shot up in a poll that asked about the 2028 Democratic presidential primary after his recent record-breaking Senate speech. Booker placed second in a hypothetical primary behind former Vice President Kamala Harris in an Echelon Insights poll released this week, drawing support from 11 percent of respondents. In the same poll last month, Booker drew 2 percent support among party respondents — putting him in line with roughly a dozen other Democratic figures with low single-digit support. Booker, who is serving in his second term, set a record for the longest Senate speech in history in early

Comments:

Kams at 28% and Spartacus creeping up behind her. Can even one poll respondent tell us what Cory said in his long-winded speech?

A United States Senator can never be elected president when running against a governor. SENATOR Kennedy beat Nixon 65 years ago. Before that....I can't think of anyone going back to the 1800s. Vice-presidents don't fare much better. Vance will have a tough row to hoe if he tries to run. Abbor or DeSantis are better seasoned.

I'm going to venture a guess that the 'Rats that the Media is polling just give a name of a 'Rat politician that they have heard of. Nothing to do with policy or what they would do if in charge of the Executive Branch. Just a name that they heard recently on the Lamestream news. The Lamestreams all covered Booker's 'Speech to NoWhere', so Booker's name has been recently blared across the Lamestream media. More 'Rats have heard his name recently, so it gets regurgitated more, and as a result his 'numbers' are up.

NEW YORK — Affordability was at the center of Zohran Mamdani’s winning primary campaign for New York City mayor. President Donald Trump has become the focus of his general election bid. The Democratic nominee launched a five-borough tour “against Trump” on Monday to amplify how he believes the president will harm New York City — and why Mamdani thinks he should be elected to lead the vanguard. He’s also tying opponents Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa closely to Trump, adopting a classic Democratic general election playbook by casting two fellow Democrats and the GOP nominee as the president’s

As Sen. Ruben Gallego heads to Iowa this weekend openly musing about a possible presidential run, he does so from near the back of the potential Democratic pack. He ranks among the worst-funded and rarest names mentioned in the mix for the White House. But going to Iowa, a state with a history of outsized importance in picking presidential nominees, can raise Gallego’s national profile and kindle interest in a place where it might matter if he does run. Later this month, the freshman senator from Arizona is planning a swing through New Hampshire, historically home to the nation’s first

It’s the heart of summer, and the days are long and toasty. Beaches on the coasts (or Lake Michigan, closer to where I live) are packed and clothing is minimal. Some people look good showing extra skin. Most of them don’t.

CANBERRA - Several towns in eastern Australia were blanketed with their thickest layer of snow in decades as wild weather swept the area this weekend, causing floods, stranding vehicles and cutting power to thousands of homes, authorities said. A cold air front dropped as much as 40 cm (16 inches) of snow on parts of northern New South Wales on Saturday, the most since the mid-1980s, said Miriam Bradbury, a meteorologist at Australia's weather bureau. Snow also settled in areas of the neighbouring state of Queensland for the first time in 10 years, she said. Bradbury said climate change has made

By all accounts, even those of liberal media outlets, the Democratic National Committee is broke. Under the leadership of chairman Ken Martin, the DNC is facing a full-blown financial crisis. But how did it come to this? Well, donor flight is one part of the answer. Since President Trump and J.D. Vance took office in a historic victory, the DNC's once-reliable donor class has slammed the brakes on contributions. But the bigger story, and one the mainstream press won't touch, is that a critical pipeline of cash has been shut off: the massive taxpayer-funded slush fund known as USAID.

They worry they’re using too much water to brush their teeth, they can’t take a vacation because the emissions from the car or plane will cause the demise of us all, and the CO2 they emit with each breath spells disaster. They constantly fret over the consumption of meat, the use of everyday household appliances that make our lives better, and any other progress that has brought our civilization into the 21st Century.

President Donald Trump has delegated federal agents to assist in fighting crime in D.C. as part of his move to help clean up the city. They've been involved, showing themselves around D.C., and that's good policing — to discourage bad actors. However, there was one man who was apparently upset with their presence in the city. The man allegedly hurled a footlong sandwich into the chest of the CBP agent, then found out that was unwise, as he turned and fled, but then was immediately chased down by the agents.
