🇺🇸⚡️- Nancy Pelosi will retire from Congress after almost 40 years in power. She had been the leader of the House Democrats from 2003 to 2023 only recently taking a step back.

🇺🇸🗳⚡️- Election Day in the US tomorrow. What to Expect?

Tomorrow November 4th is election day, mainly for local races and a few statewide contests across the country. Namely the statewide general elections for New Jersey and Virginia, dozens of Mayoral elections including New York City, alongside ballot proposals across the nation most importantly a redistricting referendum in California, and some court elections in Pennsylvania.

The most important races which have garnered the most attention are the New York Mayoral race alongside the 2 Gubernatorial contests.

New York's Mayoral campaign between Democrat Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, is seen as a major blow to the Democratic establishment and a big test for the electoral viability of the Democratic Socialists of America after Mamdani defeated Cuomo in the primary earlier this year.

Former Governor Cuomo has failed to offer Curtis Sliwa any type of deal to drop out and endorse him despite many New York Republican officials endorsing Cuomo against Mamdani. There are rumors that zionist billionaires such as Bill Ackman have even offered Sliwa bribes or job offers in order to get him to drop out yet he has refused.

Polling has Mamdani comfortably winning the 3 way race yet will potentially be the worst electoral performing Democrat in recent city history. The RCP average currently has him at 46% of the vote with Cuomo following at a distant 32% and Sliwa at 16%. However polling severely underestimated Mamdani in the primary, it is likely he will receive anywhere between 50-58% of the final vote.

New Jersey's election between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli has been much closer than anticipated. New Jersey has been a solid blue state in the 21st century however last year President Trump only lost the state by 5 points, a major swing to the right compared to 2020 when Joe Biden won the state by almost 1 million votes. Ciattarelli has run a strong campaign but is against the headwinds of an increasingly unpopular Trump Administration. It is expected that Sherrill will win by around 3-5 points although an upset is not out of the question.

Virginia's statewide elections are expected to be the highlight of the night for the Democratic party as Republican Winsome Earle-Sears is, to put it mildly, really stupid compared to Democrat Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger, a former CIA agent who was elected to congress in the 2018 midterms, is seen as a moderate establishment figure in the Democratic party. She famously criticized AOC and the progressive wing of the party after 2020 blaming them for the House losses that year. She is expected to win comfortably by anywhere between 8-11 points for a much needed boost to Democratic morale at a time when the party is being demolished by the GOP and leftists.

The Attorney Generals race, which entered the spotlight following Democrat Jay Jones texts being revealed showing he fantasized about a GOP politicians White kids dying for "being little fascists" is the only possible victory for the GOP in the state. The current Attorney General Jason Miyares is the only incumbent able to run for re-election this year and has hammered away endlessly at this scandal while attaching himself to the popular Governor Youngkin. However with the government shutdown and the top of the ticket dragging the GOP down its likely Jay Jones will win in the end. The race is a true tossup but its expected Jones will eek out a win by 1-3 points. However Miyares has a very decent chance of winning.

A Jones victory would also open the gates to the Virginia Democrats redrawing the House of Representatives districts in the state which would follow in California and Texas's footsteps in drawing blatant partisan gerrymanders, further complicating the GOP's ability to retain the house in 2026.

California's ballot proposal allowing the state to gerrymander out most California Republicans from the House of Representatives is expected to pass by huge margins.

Nick Fuentes Was Charlie Kirk’s Bitter Enemy. Now He’s Becoming His Successor.

Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated in September, and Nick Fuentes, the young Hitler-loving white nationalist at the center of a growing schism on the right, were bitter enemies.

Fuentes despised Kirk for his support of Israel, and, more broadly, for his efforts to marginalize Fuentes’s gleefully racist and fascist brand of politics. In 2019, seeking to expose Kirk as “anti-white” and a “fake patriot,” Fuentes organized his army of young fans — known as Groypers, after a variant on the alt-right Pepe the Frog meme — to flood events held by Kirk’s organization, Turning Point, and ask hostile questions. At one, they drove Donald Trump Jr. off the stage.

After Kirk was murdered, Fuentes, perhaps fearing he’d be blamed, disavowed violence. But he continued his attacks on Turning Point and accused Kirk’s widow, Erika, of being happy her husband was dead. “I am getting this vibe from her that she’s very fake,” he said.

Even as Fuentes defamed Kirk’s widow, powerful conservatives were engaged in a nationwide campaign to canonize Kirk and destroy progressives who maligned him. Guest-hosting Kirk’s podcast, JD Vance urged listeners to report anyone celebrating Kirk’s death to their employers. In such an atmosphere, one might think that Fuentes’s stock on the right would have fallen. Instead, it’s risen higher than ever, revealing a seemingly unstoppable ratchet of radicalization on the right.

If you’re not familiar with Fuentes’s ideology, he helpfully distilled it on his streaming show, “America First,” in March. “Jews are running society, women need to shut up,” he said, using an obscenity. “Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part.” His sneering, proudly transgressive attitude has made him a hero to legions of mostly young men who resent all forms of political gatekeeping. The conservative writer Rod Dreher, a close friend of Vance, warned, “I am told by someone in a position to know that something like 30 to 40 percent of D.C. G.O.P. staffers under the age of 30 are Groypers.” The figure is impossible to check, but it captures a widespread sense that Fuentes’s politics are ascendant.

Plenty of conservatives, especially Jewish ones, abhor Fuentes’s growing clout. But by cheering on Donald Trump as he promoted conspiracy theories and systematically destroyed bulwarks against nativism and bigotry in the Republican Party, they helped make Fuentes’s rise possible.

Fuentes reached a career high last week when he was invited onto Tucker Carlson’s podcast, one of the most popular shows in the country. Carlson gently took issue with a few things Fuentes has said, especially the idea that Jews as a whole are responsible for the sins of Israel and neoconservatism. “I feel like going on about ‘the Jews’ helps the neocons,” Carlson said at one point. But their two-hour conversation was overwhelmingly friendly. Carlson seemed to presume that they were on the same side; his disagreements with Fuentes were mostly about means, not ends.

Conservatives who detest antisemitism were shaken by the interview. They were even more alarmed when Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation — long a bastion of the conservative establishment — defended Carlson. “The Heritage Foundation didn’t become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians,” he said in a video, describing Carlson’s critics as a “venomous coalition” who are “sowing division.”

These comments led to an uproar among some of Heritage’s donors, staff members and supporters, and Roberts attempted to quell it by denouncing Fuentes. But he still seems to think that Carlson was right to give him a hearing. In a message to the Heritage staff obtained by National Review, Roberts rejected “censorship and purity tests,” writing, “Canceling one person today guarantees the purge of many tomorrow.”
