Dems Keep Winning - July 1, 2026

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros stunned the political establishment by defeating longtime Denver Rep. Diana DeGette after running a campaign that sharply criticized Democratic support for Israel and the war in Gaza, signaling the growing strength of pro-Palestinian voices within the party. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is reportedly reaching out to Zohran Mamdani and pro-Palestinian activists as she eyes a 2028 campaign, while a Republican congressman sparked backlash by suggesting Americans who can't afford steak and lobster for the Fourth of July simply "don't work as hard." Meanwhile Sen. John Kennedy grovels to Israel in a new sitdown with Theo Von.
