The Western Journal asked readers again this week: If the 2028 Republican primary were held today, who would you support?

Vice President J.D. Vance continues to dominate the field, though his lead has narrowed again compared to last week’s poll.

Vance received 50.1 percent of the vote in this week’s straw poll, which was conducted Oct. 13 to 19 and drew 14,952 responses.

That marks a slight dip from the 53.5 percent total he recorded the week before, continuing a two-week decline following his high of 62.1 percent earlier this month.

President Donald Trump finished second once again, earning the support of 13.4 percent of the respondents while being term-limited.

The trend of the late night hosts devolving from comedians into DNC talking heads continued on Monday as they gushed over the weekend’s No Kings protestors. According to them, the size of the crowds should discredit the idea they were actually quite radical.

On The Late Show, CBS’s Stephen Colbert excitedly wondered, “Do you feel that? Do you feel the vibe? It’s electric in here. You can feel the energy in this room because these folks are still high from the No Kings rally this weekend. That was beautiful! It’s a beautiful sight to see. On Saturday, 7 million people turned out in over 2,700 events in all 50 states.”

More than eight in 10 Americans support policies that would require documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections, according to a Gallup poll conducted just two weeks before the 2024 presidential election. But a well-funded campaign by leftist “voter rights” groups is lobbying hard to mute the voices of the 83 percent.

The Election Assistance Commission’s comment period on a petition asking the agency to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote is in its final hours. Comments are due by the end of Monday. Visit the federal rulemaking portal here to comment.

New York City is on the cusp of voting in Zohran Mamdani, a young democratic socialist and New York State Assembly member, as its next mayor. As of now, he is the clear front-runner. Recent polls show him leading with about 45% support, far ahead of rivals like independent Andrew Cuomo at 25%.

The promise of “free” everything has blinded many struggling New Yorkers into pledging their support for the Muslim communist, but Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” warns that this is bound to end in a far bigger disaster than most of us realize.

House Republicans are raking in record cash as the government shutdown drags on — pulling in nearly $24 million between July and September, according to new fundraising numbers.

More than half of that haul — about $13.95 million — came in September alone, just as the GOP prepared for a bruising political battle over federal spending. The fight has since escalated into a full-blown standoff that has left Washington paralyzed and the government shuttered for 20 days.

The National Republican Congressional Committee’s (NRCC) September windfall marks its best non-election-year September ever, up roughly 50% from the same month last year. The group now boasts $46 million in cash on hand and has raised a staggering $93 million in 2025 so far, a Fox News report has revealed.

If you performed a simple Google search for the names of mainstream journalists and thought leaders, you would expect to get a link to their profile or a link to their website or news outlet. But Google has served up something far more sinister.

The search giant fed its users dossiers from the disgraced left-wing activist group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which is attempting to brand supporters of President Donald Trump as “extremists,” “white supremacists” and “bigots.” The group has smeared Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik, podcast host and veteran Navy intelligence officer Jack Posobiec and The Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, to name a few, and it seems Google is more than willing to help push that narrative. Google promoted leftist Wikipedia — which repeatedly cited SPLC — and provided direct links to the SPLC website in search results.

Despite the USNA’s honor code, the congresswoman said she was barred because she would not “rat out” classmates involved in the scandal.

… as RedState reported on Sunday, as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas became a reality, the radical terrorist group faced violent clashes with rival Palestinian militias inside Gaza. Saleh al-Jafarawi, a pro-Hamas, antisemitic social media influencer with more than three million followers, was reportedly killed in one of those clashes.

And on Monday, Rama Duwaji publicly grieved al-Jafarawi’s death on Instagram, posting four broken-heart emojis, and mourning “Beloved Jafarawi,” as she called the radical antisemite.

How fitting for Mamdani, likely the next mayor of New York City, huh? You know — to have a no-doubt loving wife who is apparently at least as radical as he is.

The Palestinian Influencer who was known for his viral social media videos, was killed by an anti-Hamas militia in Gaza.

The term-limited Mills, who is serving her second consecutive term as governor, boosts Democrats’ longtime hopes of picking off one of the Senate’s most centrist Republicans in the battleground seat.

“I’ve never backed down from a bully, and I never will,” Mills said in her launch video, which focused heavily on President Donald Trump. “Honestly, if this President and this Congress were doing things that were even remotely acceptable, I wouldn’t be running for the U.S. Senate.

Democrats love to portray themselves as the “Party of Women.” They will tell voters breathlessly that they are the only thing standing between our mothers, aunts, sisters, and daughters from being forced into Handmaid’s Tale outfits.

But, as with all things Democratic, don’t look at what they say, look at what they do. Time and again, Democrats betray women when it really matters. Democrats put the desires of “trans identifying” men over the rights and safety of women, including women in prison and girls in locker rooms. The Biden administration rewrote Title IX to force men into women’s sports and punish the women who spoke out against it. They lie about abortion and the abortion pill, harming women.

And now we’ve learned that Zohran Mamdani, New York’s frontrunner for mayor, refused to step in and stop a rape on the grounds of cultural relativism.

The Dead Still Live On Michigan’s Dirty Voter Rolls– thefederalist.com

pgnewser October 9, 2025 0

Blurb:

An elections integrity watchdog is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on leftist-led Michigan’s dirty voter rolls, apparently filled with tens of thousands of dead registrants.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has filed a petition seeking review of the landmark Public Interest Legal Foundation v. Jocelyn Benson, which challenges the Wolverine State’s refusal to clean up its voter rolls — a requirement under the National Voter Registration Act.

PILF argues that the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals erred in its ruling last year affirming a lower court opinion that found the Secretary of State’s office has made “reasonable efforts” to properly remove the names of deceased individuals from Michigan’s voter rolls. The case aims to clarify what a “reasonable effort” in the face of evidence that Michigan’s limited list-maintenance program’s design “virtually guarantees that thousands of deceased voters remain on the rolls.”

“Michigan’s refusal to act on overwhelming evidence of deceased registrants violates federal law,” said Kaylan Phillips, PILF’s legal counsel for the case. “The NVRA requires states to make efforts that keep the rolls accurate.”

PILF’s analysis of Michigan’s voter list identified more than 27,000 likely deceased individuals registered to vote. Some of those former citizens of the living have been dead for decades, according to the complaint. Of the suspect registrants, nearly 4,000 have been dead for at least 20 years, PILF found. Throughout the legal challenges, the foundation sent Michigan’s far-left secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, obituaries and gravestones of many of the deceased registrants.

One individual registered to vote was apparently born in 1823 — some 14 years before Michigan became a state. The person was registered to vote in 2008. It’s either an invalid registration or state elections officials have some trouble entering basic data, the foundation’s investigation mused.

Stefanik Closes Gap in New York Gubernatorial Race as Gov Hochul’s Record Emerges– slaynews.com

Blurb:

New York’s Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul’s once-comfortable lead in the 2026 governor’s race could be slipping away, according to a new poll.

New polling data shows Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) closing the gap to less than a single point after voters learn more about each candidate’s record.

The GrayHouse survey, conducted for Stefanik’s leadership PAC, E-PAC, shows Hochul initially leading Stefanik 48% to 43%.

However, once respondents were informed of Hochul’s record on issues like bail reform, New York’s soaring cost of living, and her endorsement of radical socialist NYC mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, her lead collapsed to 46.4% to Stefanik’s 45.9%.

‘Worst Governor in America’

Stefanik, who launched her campaign in September, wasted no time hammering Hochul’s record in a blistering statement.

“The data is clear that Kathy Hochul, the worst governor in America, is a deeply embattled and historically unpopular failed governor who is struggling to even gain support from her own party,” Stefanik said.

“Kathy Hochul has destroyed New York State, creating an affordability crisis with the highest taxes in the nation, and the highest energy, utility, rent, and grocery bills.

“Her single-party Democrat rule, failed bail reform, and sanctuary state policies have put criminals and illegals first and New Yorkers last.

“It’s a political disaster for Hochul.”

Senate Dems Refuse to Call Jones To Drop Out For Violent Texts– thefederalist.com

In response to a Federalist inquiry, not a single Democrat U.S. Senator called for the Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race in light of his text messages fantasizing about assassinating Republican Todd Gilbert.

“Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones wrote, after running a hypothetical about how to allocate two bullets among Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. The 2022 text messages were first reported by National Review on Friday. According to a source cited by the outlet, Jones also “suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views” in a follow-up phone call with a Republican state lawmaker.

The Federalist reached out to each Senate Democrat, asking if they would call for Jones to drop out of the race in light of his violent comments.

Only Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., addressed The Federalist’s inquiry. Though Kaine criticized Jones’ remarks, he also refused to call for him to drop out. “There is nothing that can justify these indefensible words, and they are contrary to all I’ve known about Jay Jones for decades,” Kaine said. “With hundreds of thousands of Virginians already having voted, it’s up to Virginians to decide.”

‘Momentum’ in New Jersey race with Ciattarelli amid Sherrill bumps– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Washington Examiner Contributing Writer Joe Concha said recent events in New Jersey’s gubernatorial election could tip the scales and give Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli the victory this November.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) is facing several campaign setbacks amid reports on her, including failing to explain how she made $7 million in stock trades after getting elected to Congress and being unable to walk at her Naval Academy graduation in 1994. These two controversies have cast uncertainty on her winning New Jersey, which is reliably a Democratic stronghold.

Concha, a New Jersey resident himself, said the election isn’t about how it starts, but how it ends. He said almost all current polls put Ciattarelli and Sherrill in a “dead heat,” including one that was “the most accurate” on the 2024 election.

“So we have a Mikie Sherrill who, this is a business show, still can’t explain how she tripled her worth and made $7 million in stocks, defense stocks, amazingly that she picked just like [former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband] Paul Pelosi would, while she was on the Armed Services committee in the House,” Concha said on Fox Business’s Varney & Co.

“So, between that, between the fact that she obviously has a cheating scandal on her hands, she couldn’t even walk with her graduating class at the Naval Academy for some reason, yet she won’t explain or at least release the transcript as far as her disciplinary records. Jack Ciattarelli has all the momentum right now,” Concha said.

Excerpt:

“I don’t wish anything with Cuomo. I think he was a horrible governor of New York, obviously New Yorkers feel that way as well because he’s trailing by anywhere 15 to 20 points behind Mamdani even without Eric Adams in the race. We are running out of runway here,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox and Friends First Tuesday.

“You could be looking at the next mayor of New York: a 33-year-old who has never held a real job in his life running the most complex financial capital of the world, go figure,” Concha added.

Current New York City Mayor Eric Adams ended his reelection campaign over a week ago, nearly three weeks after a New York Times/Siena University poll found Adams had just 9% of likely voters’ support. Meanwhile, Mamdani received 46% support from likely voters, and Cuomo trailed with 24%.

That same poll reported that in a hypothetical head-to-head between Cuomo and Mamdani, Cuomo’s numbers would jump up to 44% and Mamdani’s would rise to 48%, closing Mamdani’s lead to only four points. However, Republican candidate Curtis Silwa remains in the race.
