Julia Letlow (R-LA) and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming (R) will advance to a 6/27/2026 runoff as no candidate secured 50% of the vote. KY District 4 U.S. House Representative Thomas Massie lost his re-election bid to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein. Georgia 2020 election “finger stickin good” booger, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, lost his bid for governor to Trump-backed Georgia Lt. Governor Burt Jones and billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson who will face-off in a 6/16/2026 runoff election. The revenge games have started in D.C. The U.S. Senate voted 50-47 yesterday to advance a war powers resolution. Senator Cassidy jumped ship and joined the Democrats. Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas U.S. Senate runoff race. Paxton will face incumbent Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn on 5/26/2026.

1. Ohio News. Abortion pills should require an in person office visit to obtain and should not be available with the click of a finger on-line; Ohio has a case validating this point. Ohio is not immune to the healthcare and daycare fraud uncovered in California and Minnesota. It is a shame that the two Ohio brothers sentenced for fraud involving a scheme including posing as Arab Royalty did not use their clever minds for legal financial purposes. These two hooligans would probably be great fraud investigators, which Ohio is in need of now.

B. Virginia.

The court directed that the district maps issued by the court in 2021 remain in place for the upcoming congressional elections.

1. Ohio Republican Primary 5/5/2026 News. Heather Hill, a candidate in the Republican Gubernatorial Primary, has been disqualified from the race because her running mate for Lieutenant Governor, Stuart Moats, withdrew his candidacy last week. Any votes cast for Hill will not be counted in the official tally. The remaining candidates are Vivek Ramaswamy/Robert A. McColley and Casey Putsch/Kimberly C. Georgeton. Melanie Leneghan has been deemed ineligible to run for Member of State Central Committee, Woman, District 19. Mrs. Leneghan was deemed ineligible after a complaint was filed with the Delaware County Board of Elections regarding her Ohio residency status. Mrs. Leneghan has filed a writ of mandamus with the Ohio Supreme Court regarding the issue.

2. The Democratic Party has lost its way. Just last week, U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, during a press conference regarding the gerrymander issue, said in response to a question, “We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.” In addition, last week, 250 journalists signed a letter to the White House Correspondents’ Association urging the organization to use the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to “forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of the press.” Unfortunately, an individual crashed the dinner armed with a long rifle, handgun, and knives in an assassination attempt. White Supremacy is not the nation’s greatest threat – the Democratic Party’s rhetoric, which is stoking the coals of hate and violence, is our Nation’s gravest threat.
