Swing state suburban voters often reject far-left socialist platforms, as demonstrated by the 2024 Arizona Democratic primary where progressive candidate Kai Newerk lost to incumbent Greg Stanton despite socialist victories in New York and Colorado, suggesting that Democrats may struggle to win swing states if they nominate socialist candidates for president in 2028.

Liberal Media PANICS After Trump SWEEPS Swing State While Socialists Suffer DEVASTATING DEFEAT!
Added:One of the biggest headlines of the evening was on the race to become Arizona's governor. Congressman Andy Biggs, who's backed by President Trump, easily won the Republican nomination, clinching about 72% of the vote. He will now face Democrat Katie Hobbs in November. Republicans see the contest as one of their biggest opportunities to pick up a gubernatorial seat.
>> I have every bit of confidence that we're going to win. Uh we're going to get our message out, our message of restoring the American dream to [music] to Arizona and let's make this the year that we turn Arizona red again. I commit to you just so you know that the work begins, the real work begins tomorrow.
>> Another Trump backed candidate, former NFL kicker Jay Feelely, won the GOP nomination for the state's first congressional district. Republicans are aiming to defend this seat, which political experts have deemed a tossup.
And in the state's fourth congressional district, a progressive candidate fell short. Kai Newkerk lost to incumbent Congressman Greg Stanton in the Democratic primary unable to follow the footsteps of other left-wing candidates in New York and Colorado. As Democrats look to regain control of the House, Fox News power rankings show the Senate is a coin flip as well. There are four tossup seats which could determine the majority. Alaska, Iowa, Maine, and Ohio.
And like it has been in previous years, the economy will likely define the election with cost of living topping voters concerns. That's why we're seeing the president in Georgia today where he will talk about the Trump accounts as part of what he says are his administration's efforts to address affordability.
>> Boy, boy.
So, we got to talk about another sweeping primary victory for President Trump, okay? who has been a man on a mission when it comes to endorsing primary candidates. Uh they're winning all over the place. And in Arizona, the primaries, Representative Andy Biggs, topped the Republican field for governor, while Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs cruised to renomination unopposed.
So Andy Biggs is going to take on Katie Hobbs. And again, this is just one of many victories President Trump has accumulated during this primary election cycle.

>> Maline Rivera is live in Washington with the results. Mattie, what happened?
>> Yeah, first in a cubernatorial race, guys. Republican Congressman Andy Bigg's win sets up what could be one of the most competitive races for governor this November. He is set to face Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who's running for another term. Republicans feel bullish about their chances of picking up this seat in a state that President Trump won in 2024. It is toss-up territory though as voters had picked a Democratic governor two years before that. As a hardline conservative, Biggs was asked about his ability to work with folks across the aisle. Here's what he said.
>> I am a conservative. I'm a principled conservative, but I work with people that don't necessarily agree with me on every issue because you're not going to find someone who agrees with you on every issue. In other words, you can work across the aisle. And that's where I'm that's what I've always done is try to find points of agreement.
>> Another Trump back candidate, former NFL kicker Jay Feelely won the GOP nomination for the state's first congressional district. This is a closely watched race that could help determine control of the House. feel his Democratic opponent is unclear as that contest has not yet been called. Dems are also hoping to flip a seat in the sixth congressional district. Incumbent Republican Congressman Juan Cisco will be going head-to-head with Democrat Joanna Mendoza, who ran unopposed. She's come under scrutiny after reports that she followed several Only Fans models and self-described witches on her official campaign Instagram account.
>> Yeah. So, you seen that, you heard that?
Great night for President Trump. And because it was a great night, we already know that the mainstream liberal media and Democrats are currently panicking, right? They're already trying to smear Andy Biggs as a quote unquote election denier.
>> Good to see you.
>> Good to be here. Thanks.
>> Thanks. What's your message for Arizona voters tonight?
>> Look, there is a lot at stake in this election. It's a choice between Arizona first leadership and Washington style chaos. And my very likely opponent after tonight is going to be Andy Biggs, who, as you've already described, is an election denier, who not only is an ally of Trump and refuses to acknowledge the results of the 2020 election, but he went so far as to help plan January 6th.
He also helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme that went on here in Arizona. He has sought a presidential pardon for his role and uh ultimately defied a a congressional subpoena. Now, here is what that means. Arizona is one of seven swing states uh that will decide the presidential election. And as you described, in 2020, we had a free and fair election because as Secretary of State, I defended the will of the voters. If Andy Biggs is governor, Arizona is the first swing state with an election denier in charge. And the time to stop that is not 2028. It is right now. And folks can help me do that by going to katyhobs.org.
>> All right. Joining me now is the Arizona Secretary of State Adrien Fontes who has just learned uh that the Associated Press has called Alexander Caladin as his opponent, his Republican opponent in the race in November. Uh Secretary of State, good to see you again. Thank you for being with us.
>> Always good to talk to you, Ally. How you doing tonight?
>> I'm [clears throat] good. It was a clean sweep of election deniers tonight in uh your state, which is really complicated and interesting because what it does do is it splits up Republicans in your state, some of whom supported you, a Democrat, in your election, because they didn't really buy into this election denial nonsense. So, the Republicans in your state continue to not have a clear path forward.
>> Well, look, election denialism, as I've always indicated, is bad for business. I mean, who wants to invest in a community or a state that is run by folks who who don't want to handle facts, uh, who are unpredictable and operate on the whim of somebody in Washington DC. That's not what folks want to invest in. Whether you're in business or education, uh, whether you're in science or technology and and Arizona's, you know, the Silicon Desert is growing. So folks want folks that uh to govern who are going to do it well, who are going to be reasonable and uh who aren't going to be, you know, a little bit offkilter and and and that's what [snorts] uh this race is going to be about. You know, Mr. Colladin uh in the legislature has repeatedly wanted to absolutely decimate ballot by mail voting and force Arizonans to stand in long lines to vote. And when you think about that, we're talking about rural Arizona's veterans, older Americans, some of whom, many of whom live in assisted living homes, may not have the transportation, and they may not be able to stand in long lines. So, this is just an anti- voter candidate uh for Secretary of State. And I don't think Arizona's going to buy off on it. Um, you know, and and if for folks want to support me, they can go to electontis.com. We're going to we're going to win this race against this election denier just like we did four years ago against that other one.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, you seen that? You heard that, right? It is the same old same old smear. Oh, you're election denier. Oh, you're a right-wing conspiracy theorist.
Oh, you're a Trumper. Oh, you're MAGA.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, we're going to see how it works out in Arizona this time. Right. I I just got a gut feeling that uh the Republicans are going to perform better in Arizona than they have been before in the past. I think that the candidates before in the past uh were not as strong as some of the candidates this time around. Uh, I think that Andy Begs is going to give Katie Hobbs a run for her money, right, in the general. Okay, but we're going to see, right? We're ultimately going to see. Katie Hobbs, in my opinion, has not done a great job. She's been terrible out there. Uh, but something else that Democrats really should worry about is the fact that you have socialist getting absolutely destroyed out in Arizona. Uh, Arizona being a swing state. Um, you have one race in particular that I think is very very very scary for Democrats at the national level. Okay. The Democrat primary in which you had a so-called moderate Democrat, which means a Democrat does not as far left as the furthest left litics in the Democrat party, but still pretty left. Uh this guy uh actually won his primary pretty handily over a socialist again out in a more moderateish suburb in Arizona, which I think is a big deal when you talk about the national elections and the current direction of the Democrat party. Take a look. Socialist wave [music] taking over America falling short in Arizona as modern Congressman Greg Stan was able to fend off progressive DSA challenger Kai Newerk in the state's Democratic primary. But this comes after major socialist victories in states like New York and Colorado. Byron York, a Fox News contributor, joins us now. Good morning, Byron. Why did the socialist candidate fall short in Arizona, but why are they seeing success elsewhere in the country?
Well, I think we saw that the suburbs of Phoenix are not quite as radically blue as some other uh areas of the country.
So, the DSA, it would have been a huge story uh if the DSA had knocked off another Democratic incumbent, but they didn't do that. Still, you know, in the past couple of weeks, we have seen we've learned a lot about the DSA because they've told us, they have released their platform for 2026, and it's really shown us how radical uh the the uh party is, how they would, if they had their way, they would eliminate the US Senate.
They would uh get rid of the presidency and make it subordinate to a a giant House of Representatives. They do the same for the Supreme Court. And of course they would have everything uh in the economy under the control of the government. It would really be a huge radical change.
>> Yeah. So this story is very very very fascinating. Even though it's flying under the radar, this is probably one of the biggest election stories that we've covered in a while because it really shows that hey this socialism stuff, this far-left socialist stuff may play well in deep blue areas of New York and other places, right? But when you talk about the states that actually really determine the outcome of the presidential election, okay, you talk about states like Arizona, okay, the suburbs of Arizona, right? Apparently that socialist stuff doesn't play well.
Okay, this guy got blown out. The socialist candidate got absolutely demolished. And again, this is a big deal because it appears as if it is very likely that the top of the Democrat ticket in 2028 is going to be one of those socialist types, right? In fact, uh we have a shock poll here showing AOC who has jumped out to a strong lead in early presidential poll while Kla Harris barely registered. Yeah. So, this is a a really big deal, okay? because it basically shows that even though you have these swing districts and these swing states that are saying, "Nah, we're not on board with the far-left socialist stuff, at the national level, um the socialists are polling, uh the best, okay, which suggests that if Democrats put forward a socialist at the top of the ticket, right, in 2028, that again, they're going to struggle in the states they actually need in order to win the general election."
Representative Alexandria Casiocortez jumped to the top of a new 2028 presidential poll while former Vice President Kla Harris barely registered.
The University of New Hampshire released the poll on Wednesday showing Akassiocortez leading the field of potential 2028 Democratic presidential nominees followed by former transportation secretary Pete Buddha Judge. According to the data, Akassio Cortez leads the pack with 22% support while Buddhaj closely follows with 21%.
Harris only scored 5% support while California Governor Gavin Nusup and Senator Mark Kelly and Bernie Sanders trail with less than 10% each. Wow. Wow.
Uh I think that this is really bad for Gavin Newsome, right? Gavin Newsome uh his 2028 campaign is uh is taking, right? Is taking. It seems as if his uh his socialist stick here, right, isn't sticking with the people that he's desperately trying to appeal to. Akassio Cortez's support comes mostly from quote unquote self-described socialists and progressives. UNH's survey center noted while Buddhaj's backing is more evenly spaced out among progressives, liberals, and moderates.
No other Democratic candidate earned more than 2% in UNH's poll. New Hampshire is an early and key primary state and can serve as a strong indicator for potential nominees. On the Republican side, Vice President JD Vance leads the pack with 36% support, followed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio with 26% support. Other GOP candidates all scored less than 10% led by Ran Paul who garnered 8%.
Okay, so again, this is um pretty fascinating. Uh here is AOC and her response to this shock poll showing that she's basically the front runner for Democrats in 2028. Second of all, I don't know if you saw there's a new University of New Hampshire poll showing you leading in the presidential race in New Hampshire. What are your thoughts about that?
>> Um, you know, I think there's two things. One is that, you know, polls are po polls and a horse race is a horse race. I am of course I think uh very deeply uh humbled and and grateful um uh to you know folks who who participate and convey that confidence. Um and you know it's I'm honestly I think my main focus is is really genuinely just the midterms right now. We have to make sure that we win this majority. Second of all, on uh when it comes to ICE, I was just wondering if Democrats win back the majority, how do and should they claw should Democrats claw back the money in OBBBA and reconciliation? What are your thoughts about that?
>> 100%. You know, I think that we need to figure out a way if it's, you know, there's a uh 100 ways to skin a cat around here. So, it could be through the literal clawback of those funds. It could be through the withholding of other appropriations to force them to spend down what's gone out. There's a lot of different ways to look at it, but um we can't allow we we cannot allow this genuinely unacceptable and irresponsible deployment of resources with no accountability to become a new floor.
>> Yeah. So, I think the AOC's running, right? I think that when you have these polls showing that she's at the top of the ticket, right, that she's the strongest Democrat candidate right now in the primary, right, in the sense that who who has the most support in the primary amongst the potential contenders, the people that are going to run. I mean, we know almost for certain that Gavin Newsome is running. We know for certain that Kla Harris is definitely running again. Uh, I believe Bernie probably not so much. Pete Buddhajed, probably a good chance he's going to run. Uh John Oaf again, they're saying that he's gonna run, right? Um I think in that field, okay, plus maybe others. Yeah, I feel like ALC probably is going to get the most support at least early on until, you know, the establishment forces all of uh the non- socialist to um you know, drop out and have, you know, just one person, right?
One non- socialist against AOC to try to take her own headto head. But I mean, AOC is giving out indications that yes, it is likely that she's going to be preparing for a 2028 run. Uh like for example, she's already working on her her blacks, right? In order to take black voters away from Koba Harris. BUT FEAR NOT, THEY HAVE AOC to lead them to victory and campaigning in Memphis, Tennessee this week. The leftist darling debuted her newest accent aimed AT WINNING OVER SOUTHERN VOTERS. LISTEN, >> we cannot afford to leave Tennessee behind. [cheering] We cannot afford to leave Kentucky behind, Alabama behind, Mississippi behind, GEORGIA BEHIND, SOUTH Carolina behind. About a month or two ago, we're in Montgomery, Alabama.
Sister Presley and I were in Montgomery, Alabama. And one of the things that we said was that it is time for the North to roll up to the south.
>> [cheering] >> WE WILL NOT BE chased out of places anymore. Brothers and sisters, >> Sister Dominic, what do you think about this?
>> Um, is he going to As a child of Jackson, Mississippi, and someone who grew up in South Carolina, two of the places she mentioned, that does not work. That does not work. We catch that immediately. Okay. You cannot code switch like that.
>> Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Sister Presley. [laughter] Sister Presley.
Wow. Wow. Kla Harris should be shaking.
She should be shaking right now, right?
She should be shaking. There should be a contest for who can be faker, right? Who can be the fakest woman in the Democrat primary? Kamla versus AOC. I think that's going to be a fascinating matchup. I really I think that AOC is a huge threat to Kamla's grip on black voters because the thing that Kamla has going for her is that in states like South Carolina, you know, these states with again large black voting population, I think that she's going to she's going to do well in those states, right? Um but AOC is a threat is a huge threat to that to be honest with you because I think that AOC can appeal to the black liberals uh just as well as Kla Harris because I mean let's be real uh Kla's black credibility, right? her street credit is uh is questionable, right?
So, I'm just saying, you know, ALOC can play that role as, hey, I'm a woman of color, too, right? I'm like black adjacent to a certain extent, Puerto Rican, right? She can play that and I think it'll work, right? That's why she's working on her her blacks, right?
Sister Presley, right? [laughter] [gasps] Wow. The Democrat party is so pathetic right now. But like I said, the point of this video is that again, if this race out in Arizona, this recent result, primary result is any indication in swing states, in the suburbs, right, in the places that Democrats actually have to win, the places that actually decide general elections, um, if Democrats can be running on far-left [laughter] socialism, it's not going to play well, right? It's not going to play well at all. Again, Democrats are forgetting that it is swing states, suburbs that decide elections, right? That decide general elections at the national level.
Uh not New York City, not the Californians of the world, not the deep blue districts, not the deep blue areas.
No. Right. Uh you have to be able to win these swing states, >> [snorts] >> uh these swing suburbs, these swing neighborhoods. And I I just don't know if this socialist stuff is going to play well out there, but we're gonna see, right? Again, if that election is any indication, then probably not. But yet, Democrats essentially have a socialist as the top contender. Not good, right?
Not good. But hey, let me know what you guys think. Make sure you like, comment, and subscribe. Most importantly, share a black assorted perspective. Peace.
