The massive victory of abortion rights!
Kansas was one of the first tests of the potency of abortion rights at the ballot box. In Arizona, local officials counted votes to determine a slate of statewide candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The 10 House Republicans voted to impeach Trump was ousted in Michigan. The political comeback of a former governor was shut down in Missouri.
Kansas maintains the constitutional right to abortion!
Kansas has recognized a right to abortion
under the state constitution. On Tuesday, Kansas voters sent a dramatic message to their state constitution to maintain the right to an abortion. As per polls, voters overwhelmingly support protecting abortion rights.
On Tuesday night, 78% of the vote, nearly 700,000 people have cast ballots in the primary, which already dwarfs the 2020 presidential primary election turnout. America supports abortion rights, and an organization looks to elect women who support abortion rights.Add Block
Greitens attempted comeback falls flat!
In 2018, Greitens resigned amid a sex scandal and accusation of campaign misconduct. Two members of congress, Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long emerged from a crowded field. President Donald Trump was out of the race, leaving it to voters' interpretation of Schmitt or Greitens.
Impeachment 10 is defeated!
Rep. Peter Meijer was the second of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump, losing to Trump endorsed conservative challenger John Gibbs. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee eying the seat for an opportunity to pick $300,000 on television ads seeking to bolster Gibbs is portraying him as a Trump-aligned conservative.Add Block

Dixon victory in Michigan governor’s race!
The clash in Michigan is one of the nation’s most competitive governor’s races. On Tuesday night, Dixon framed the race in her victory speech as a referendum on restrictions Whitmer imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic. She is the mother of four, is backed by former Education Secretary Besty DeVos's family, and is an advocate of school choice.
Progressives suffer another defeat in Michigan!
Rep. Haley Stevens had the Democratic primary victory in Michigan's newly drawn 11th Congressional District, and Andy Levin is another blow against progressive’s mostly disappointing primary seasons. Stevens and Levin support Israel, but Levin is Jewish, more willing to criticize its government's treatment of Palestinians, and the lead sponsor of the Two-state Solution Act. J Street, a liberal pro-Israel group that clashed with AIAC, tried to boost Levin with $700,000 in July ad buy and more than $4 million spent by UDP.
