Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), battling a runoff challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), is touting support for his Senate campaign from pastors who are signatories of the Evangelical Immigration Table, a group linked to George and Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundations, and which has a record of backing amnesty for illegal aliens living in the United States.

This week, Cornyn rolled out his campaign’s Faith Advisory Council, which comprises five pastors across Texas. Among those pastors are Max Lucado of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Dr. Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, and Dr. Gus Reyes of Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission in Dallas.

GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno Outlines Why John Thune Struggles To Move SAVE America Act Forward– dailycaller.com

Blurb:

Republican Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno on Tuesday listed reasons why Senate Majority Leader John Thune faces difficulty moving the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act through the chamber.

The Republican-controlled House passed the SAVE America Act in February 2026 by a 218–213 vote, requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections. Thune said the bill faces an uncertain path in the Senate because Republicans currently lack the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Moreno said on “The Ingraham Angle” that Thune has limited leverage over several Republican members who are pushing their own priorities instead of coordinating with party leadership.

DNC Sues Trump Over a Plan That May Not Even Exist – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

The Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit on Mar. 10, 2026, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, targeting several federal agencies within the Trump Administration, naming the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Department of Defense as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that the DNC sent close to a dozen FOIA requests to the Justice Department (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense Department (DOD) in October “concerning potential deployment of federal agents and troops to polling places, drop boxes, and election offices.” 

“Nearly five months later, the DNC has received neither substantive responses nor responsive documents, not even a list of documents withheld under statutory exemptions,” the suit added. 

Politico Buries Republicans Who Could ‘Upset’ California Gubernatorial Primary– www.newsbusters.org

It’s  the Great Fear that is just eating away at the poor folks at Politico. It was first expressed by that periodical in December when they suddenly realized that with so many Democrats (and none clearly in the lead) that in the open primary for governor of California that it was possible that with only  two Republicans in that race, that both of them could end up in first and second place due to the Democrats splitting up the rest of the votes among themselves.

A couple of months later in February that fear not only did not go away but intensified with poor Politico going full delusional to the extent of pretending that if they only concentrated on the top two Democrat candidates while absurdly ignoring the two GOP candidates whom many polls are showing in the first and second spot, thus qualifying to run against each other in the general election, that maybe the problem would just go away. The result of completely ignoring the Republican candidates who could both qualify for the general election earned Politico some well deserved mockery.

DORAL, Florida — President Donald Trump told House Republicans Monday he had one overriding legislative priority for 2026. Then they spent Tuesday talking about just about anything else.

Trump’s demand for passage of an updated SAVE America Act — a GOP elections bill that the House has advanced two versions of already — was met with less than complete enthusiasm from leaders gathered for the annual Republican policy retreat.

Speaker Mike Johnson and other senior lawmakers gave the unmistakable impression they now consider that bill to be a Senate problem — even after Trump insisted the House take it up a third time and add on more controversial provisions, such as a near-total ban on mail voting.

Trump-backed Republican candidate Clayton Fuller soundly defeated a crowded GOP field to advance to a runoff against Democrat challenger Shawn Harris in  Georgia’s 14th Congressional District on Tuesday evening. The election is being held to fill the seat formerly held by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned from Congress earlier this year after a falling out with President Trump.

With no candidate achieving a majority of the votes, the two will compete in a runoff election scheduled for April 7. Under Georgia election law, a runoff is required if neither of the top two finishers in the initial primary contest receives more than 50 percent of the vote.

Cali Voter ID Measure Offers Roadmap For GOP In Blue States– thefederalist.com

pgnewser March 10, 2026 0

Blurb:

Sometimes, a news item’s symbolic meaning far exceeds its immediate effects. For instance, a new voter identification measure in California has implications far beyond the issue of election integrity or even the Golden State’s borders.

Particularly if it succeeds on the November midterm election ballot, this measure can demonstrate to conservatives how they can influence policy outcomes even in the bluest of states. It’s a formula that the movement can and should attempt to replicate in other states and on other issues.

At this early phase of the process, the proposed amendment to the California Constitution requiring the submission of ID for in-person and mail-in voting has a decent chance of enactment. Supporters claim they have collected 1.3 million signatures, or nearly 50 percent more than the 875,000 they need to get the measure on the ballot.

Assuming the measure makes it to the ballot, it appears to have support from a broad swath of the Golden State’s electorate. A poll taken last May found that a whopping 71 percent of California registered voters, including nearly 6 in 10 Democrats, support “requiring proof of U.S. citizenship when people register to vote for the first time.” The support erodes slightly when voters are asked about “requiring proof of U.S. citizenship each time a voter casts a ballot in an election” (emphasis mine), but even here, a majority of California voters (54 percent) approve strongly or somewhat.

New Poll Shows Democrat Senate Candidate Graham Platner Crushing Republican Susan Collins– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Blurb:

A new statewide poll suggests Maine’s 2026 U.S. Senate race could take a dramatically different shape depending on which Democrat emerges from the primary, with Democratic candidate Graham Platner posting the strongest early numbers against Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

The poll from Quantus Insights offers an early snapshot of the political landscape as Democrats begin sorting out their nominee. While Collins remains competitive against Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, the numbers shift noticeably when the matchup includes Platner, suggesting the race could take on a different dynamic depending on who ultimately secures the Democratic nomination.

In a hypothetical matchup between Collins and Mills, the race appears extremely close. The poll shows Collins receiving 44.6 percent of the vote compared with 43.0 percent for Mills.

Third-party candidates account for 5.6 percent, while another 5.6 percent remain undecided. An additional 1.1 percent said they would not vote. The numbers reflect the familiar political pattern that has defined Maine’s statewide contests for years, with Collins maintaining a durable base of Republican support while continuing to attract some independents and moderate Democrats.

The special election for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) seat is all but guaranteed to head to a runoff election, with nearly 20 candidates vying to win the race.

Seventeen active competitors will fight for the chance to represent Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, which is expected to remain in Republican hands, being a safe red seat. The winner will finish out Greene’s term until the November midterm elections.

Greene resigned from her seat after a major public fallout with President Donald Trump over rising healthcare costs and her support for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Georgia special elections do not hold primaries, meaning that every candidate will be on the ballot on Tuesday. The race will head into a runoff if none of the 17 candidates receive 50% of the votes.

Hours after an Oliver Darcy underling screeched Sunday about CBS News’s social media platforms as having gone full MAGA for covering unsavory stories such as a Jewish Insider investigation into the radical social media history of New York City’s first lady, Monday’s CBS Mornings showed the liberal media are unsurprisingly not living in reality as the newscast welcomed far-left Texas senatorial candidate James Talarico (D) for an embarrassingly soft interview.

In just over six minutes, the co-hosts never offered an adversarial question to Talarico and strayed from the network’s own role in arguably endorsing Talarico’s primary campaign or any mention of the litany of radical statements over the course of his young life, such as these compiled in one convenient mash-up by our friends at Conservative War Machine:

If President Donald Trump is looking for a senator who embodies the spirit and action of “Republican in Name Only,” he couldn’t find no better man than milquetoast Texas Sen. John Cornyn.

The four-term RINO locked in a contentious GOP primary run-off battle against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton boasts a storied Senate career of genuflecting at the altar of the Swamp. Cornyn has been begging for Trump’s platinum endorsement more shamelessly than he’s prostituted himself for establishment cash.

And it’s looking like he might get the president’s seal of approval, if you can believe the Trump-hating Atlantic and other Pravda Press publications.

“President Trump’s political advisers expect him to endorse Senator John Cornyn in Texas’s May 26 Republican-primary runoff election following the incumbent’s better-than-expected finish against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the first round of voting [Tuesday] three people briefed on the deliberations told us,” The Atlantic’s Michael Scherer and Ashley Parker write.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would consider dropping his senatorial bid if Congress would lift the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE America Act.

Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn are headed to a runoff in May after neither candidate secured a majority of the vote during Tuesday’s primary.

The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to register and voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. The legislation is overwhelmingly popular, with polling showing roughly 80 percent of Americans — including a large number of Democrats — support voter ID and citizenship requirements.

Thune Fights Harder For Worthless Cornyn Than SAVE Act– thefederalist.com

Blurb:

Texans and MAGA voters’ first instinct if President Donald Trump follows through with his reported endorsement of Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas primary will be anger. The real object of their ire, however, is not Trump but Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who has spent more time campaigning to save another GOP establishment pawn from losing his upper chamber seat than he has saving the country from the clutches of the radical left.

It should not be difficult for a Republican trifecta to pass popular legislation enshrining the GOP’s election integrity agenda — or any other useful conservative policy — in law. Doing so would not only insulate Republicans from some of the shenanigans that have plagued elections all across the country, but it would also prove to Americans that members of the red party have earned reelection come November.

Support For GOP Surges Eight Points Over One Month In Generic Ballot Poll– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Voters are giving President Donald Trump a modest boost on the economy — and Republicans a messaging edge heading into the midterms.

The latest Harvard CAPS / Harris poll shows the GOP has surged 8 points on the generic congressional ballot since January, pulling even at 50-50 after trailing at the start of the year. Among likely voters, Republicans now hold a 4-point edge.

That momentum comes as the February survey found 52% of voters say the economy is better today than it was under President Joe Biden, up 5 points from January. A narrow majority, 51%, now describe the U.S. economy as strong, a 2-point bump from last month and an 8-point jump since November.

CA Is Closer To Voting On Voter ID Laws Than GOP-Led Senate– thefederalist.com

Republicans in the Senate are arguing over the SAVE America Act — common-sense legislation that would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in federal elections. Numerous polls demonstrate that such laws are overwhelmingly popular among American voters. But while some RINOs are reportedly blocking legitimate efforts to advance the legislation, voters in deep blue California are taking matters into their own hands to safeguard their elections against fraud.

After a months-long, grassroots-driven campaign, GOP State Assemblymember Carl DeMaio and other proponents submitted signatures for the California Voter ID Initiative on Monday. The proposal, which DeMaio said garnered more than 1.3 million signatures, would amend the state’s constitution to require voter ID “for all future elections in California.”

On Wednesday, ABC and CBS were nauseatingly in awe on their flagship newscasts of far-left Texas State Representative James Talarico — who believes, among other things, God was non-binary and that Mary would support abortion — as possessing “cross-partisan appeal” in a campaign “emphasizing unity” to pull in “moderates” to deliver Texas the first statewide Democrat win since 1994.

CBS sent senior White House and campaign correspondent Ed O’Keefe to Austin, Texas, who reported back on CBS Mornings that Talarico had “put off his seminary studies in order to launch this campaign, believing he can combine support from Democrats, independents in this state and Republicans upset with the President.”

In a second live-shot that aired in some time zones (due to a CBS News Special Report on a Pentagon briefing), O’Keefe boasted of Talarico’s “cross-partisan appeal” with a “Christian progressive approach, that you can be rooted in your faith” and “make a faith-based argument as to why the country needs to change.”

VA Court Can’t Say If Dem Gerrymander Is Illegal Until After They Try It– thefederalist.com

A Virginia circuit court ruled that a referendum vote enabling Democrats to gerrymander U.S. congressional districts can move ahead, despite leaving open the possibility that the referendum itself could be illegal.

The case involved the City of Lynchburg suing to “pause early voting” or have the court “answer questions about the legality” of the referendum vote, as reported by Cardinal News. If approved by voters, the measure would allow Democrats to redraw the congressional map to gerrymander Virginia’s congressional districts to eliminate four Republican seats, giving Democrats a 10-1 advantage.

As The Federalist reported, Republicans have apparently been relying on untrustworthy courts to stop the referendum, while essentially ignoring a get-out-the-vote effort. They now have two days before early voting starts on March 6, with “Election Day” set for April 21.

In a Monday ruling, Judge Patrick Yeatts of the Lynchburg Circuit Court refused to rule on the substance of a lawsuit aimed at stopping the referendum vote from taking place, leaving the issue in the hands of the Virginia Supreme Court.
