Biden appointee crushes comeback bid by billionaire wine mogul David Trone

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Rep. David Trone, D-Md., fell short in his comeback bid to return to Congress after pouring millions of his personal fortune into the race to unseat an incumbent Democrat.
Rep. April McClain Delaney, D-Md., defeated Trone on Tuesday in a bruising primary battle for a gerrymandered House seat in western Maryland, according to The Associated Press.
The intraparty contest was one of the costliest primaries of the 2026 cycle, with more than $32 million spent between both candidates, who had considerable wealth at their disposal to boost their respective campaigns.
It is unclear whether total spending eclipsed the Kentucky primary battle that resulted in the defeat of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., which recently earned the title of the nation’s most expensive House primary.

DHS FIRES BACK AFTER DEM BILLIONAIRE DAVID TRONE CLAIMS ICE IS ‘EXECUTING PEOPLE’
Trone, the billionaire founder of the alcohol retailer Total Wine & More, put more than $25 million of his wealth into the race. Delaney, a freshman lawmaker who served in the Biden administration, spent at least $7 million of her own money to fend off Trone’s primary challenge for a second House term.
She previously served in the Biden administration as a political appointee in the Commerce Department.
Though both candidates had few policy differences, Trone sharply criticized Delaney for voting for the GOP-authored Laken Riley Act in early 2025. Delaney later said she regretted supporting the law, which requires the detention of illegal immigrants accused or convicted of certain crimes.
Delaney also denounced Trone for touting support from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an advertisement focused on his defense of abortion rights, despite not receiving a formal endorsement.
Trone, who represented the district for three terms, previously bankrolled a failed 2024 Senate bid with more than $60 million of his fortune, losing to now-Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md. He notably endorsed Delaney to succeed him in Congress.

FROM WASSERMAN SCHULTZ TO GOLDMAN, DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL
Maryland’s Democratic establishment rallied around Delaney’s campaign in a notable display of unity against Trone’s insurgent campaign. Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., Sens. Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md., Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and former House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., endorsed Delaney’s re-election campaign.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also backed Delaney’s campaign.
Meanwhile, Trone touted the endorsement of the state’s largest teachers union.

Neither Delaney nor Trone reside in the district, which stretches from the rural, Republican-leaning northwestern corner of the state to the heavily Democratic and suburban Montgomery and Frederick counties. Both Democrats live in the affluent Potomac, Md., suburb near Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump came within six points of winning the Democratic-leaning district in 2024, but national Republicans do not view the seat as a top pickup opportunity.
Delaney’s husband, John Delaney, previously represented the seat from 2013 to 2019 before launching a failed campaign for president in 2020.

Un fallo en el sistema de comunicaciones obligó a detener todos los trenes de Alemania durante la noche del martes

Un fallo en el sistema de comunicaciones obligó a la red ferroviaria alemana a detener todos los trenes -municipales, regionales y de larga distancia- en la noche del martes. El incidente dejó a pasajeros varados en diversas estaciones del país. Los servicios permanecieron paralizados mientras los usuarios formaban largas filas en los mostradores de información intentando averiguar alternativas para llegar a sus destinos.
El principal operador nacional, Deutsche Bahn, anunció poco antes de la 1 de la madrugada del miércoles que el problema se había resuelto y que el servicio comenzaba a reanudarse “paso a paso”.
La compañía explicó que la interrupción se debió a un problema nacional con el sistema de comunicación digital GSM-R, utilizado para la coordinación interna de la red ferroviaria. Aunque se identificó la causa, no se ofrecieron detalles al respecto.
La directora ejecutiva de empresa, Evelyn Palla, declaró al diario Bild que “lograron estabilizar la situación con un sistema de emergencia”. Durante la interrupción, la empresa ofreció vales de taxi y hotel a los afectados y mantuvo trenes en estaciones para facilitar el traslado de los pasajeros. Deutsche Bahn pidió disculpas por los inconvenientes.
En la estación central de Berlín, pasajeros como Reyna Ghoshal, de Atlanta, intentaban regresar a Múnich y describieron la escena como llena de “caras tristes”. Ghoshal señaló: “El revisor del tren fue muy amable, pero simplemente dijo: ‘No sabemos’”. También comentó que reservaron un autobús para la mañana siguiente ante la falta de información clara.
Las quejas por retrasos e interrupciones en los trenes alemanes han aumentado en los últimos años. Deutsche Bahn, empresa estatal, inició reformas profundas en sus principales rutas para mejorar su rendimiento tras años de escasa inversión. El sistema ferroviario solo se había visto obligado a detener la totalidad de sus trenes en ocasiones anteriores debido a tormentas, pero no por fallos técnicos.
En el norte de Alemania, los trenes quedaron “completamente paralizados, porque la radio ferroviaria está fuera de servicio a gran escala”, informó la compañía regional privada Metropol. Metronom, que opera líneas regionales en los alrededores de Hamburgo, Bremen y Hannover y transporta a más de 120.000 pasajeros diarios, comunicó a sus clientes que “no realizaran más viajes en tren hoy” y recomendó buscar medios de transporte alternativos.
El sistema GSM-R (Sistema Global para Comunicaciones Móviles – Ferrocarril) es esencial para el funcionamiento ferroviario, ya que proporciona servicios de voz y datos, incluyendo la comunicación entre maquinistas y centros de control. Según la Agencia Ferroviaria de la Unión Europea, esta tecnología se utiliza en toda Europa como estándar desde el año 2000.
Este incidente se sumó al que sufrió Deutsche Bahn en febrero de este año. El sistema ferroviario alemán sufrió un ciberataque que dejó fuera de servicio durante varias horas los sistemas de información y reserva de billetes de la empresa estatal.
El caso afectó tanto a la aplicación móvil DB Navigator como a la página web oficial bahn.de e impidió a miles de usuarios consultar horarios, adquirir boletos y acceder a información en tiempo real sobre el servicio de trenes.
Deutsche Bahn confirmó que el incidente fue provocado por una serie de ataques distribuidos de denegación de servicio (DDoS), modalidad en la que miles de dispositivos infectados saturan los servidores con solicitudes simultáneas, causando la caída o inaccesibilidad de los sistemas.
Un portavoz de la empresa indicó que “nuestros mecanismos de defensa fueron efectivos para minimizar el impacto en nuestros clientes” y aseguró que los datos personales de los usuarios no se vieron comprometidos durante el ataque.

‘Party of Zohran’: Mamdani emerges as Democratic kingmaker after socialist allies sweep NYC primaries

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani cemented his status as a political kingmaker after all three Democratic Socialist candidates he backed won their primary races.
Major upsets unfolded in New York City on Tuesday night as Mamdani-backed candidates Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated incumbent Reps. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., and Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., respectively.
And in the open 7th Congressional District, Democratic Socialist Claire Valdez won in spite of outgoing incumbent Rep. Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y., endorsing another candidate.
The victories for the Mamdani-backed candidates have sparked questions about where the Democratic Party is headed is headed and whether the traditional party establishment’s influence is waning.

MAMDANI DISCOURAGES HAKEEM JEFFRIES PRIMARY CHALLENGER, TELLS CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TO ‘FOCUS’ ON NYC
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., alleged that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., cut a deal with Zohran Mamdani to ensure New York City Council member Chi Ossé did not challenge him, claiming Jeffries feared he would lose if Ossé entered the race.
«Tonight’s results in New York City prove one thing, @RepJeffries cut a deal with @ZohranKMamdani to save himself and threw everyone else under the bus,» Lawler wrote on X, alleging that Ossé would have primaried Jeffries.
«The Democrat party has officially become the party of Zohran, AOC, & Bernie,» Lawler continued.

Bad Hombre, a conservative social media account on X, claimed that the Democratic Party now belonged to Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., pointing to far-left progressive pickups also in New Jersey and in Pennsylvania primary races.
«If you’re John Fetterman, switching to the GOP never looked better,» Bad Hombre wrote. If you’re Chuck Schumer, you’re drafting your retirement speech and learning how to grill a burger. AOC is coming for that Senate seat.
Jeremy Carl, a senior fellow at Claremont Institute, argued that the outcomes reflected broader ideological and demographic shifts within New York City, warning that the city had become a «post-American city» and predicting similar changes nationwide.
REPUBLICANS RELENTLESSLY USE MAMDANI AS SOCIALIST CUDGEL TO BASH VULNERABLE DEMOCRATS
«The radicalism of these soon-to-be Congressmen is going to be a headache for Democrat leadership in the House and a gift to the GOP,» Carl wrote.
«The future of the Democrat party is radical and post-American in it’s (sic) orientation. Since all of these candidates are in the world’s media capital, they are going to get tons of attention,» Carl continued. «That isn’t going to play well for the Dems in 2026 and 2028.»

Jason Rantz said that the wins for Mamdani Tuesday could work in Republicans’ favor as they work to paint the Democratic Socialists as the new direction of the Democratic Party.

«Republicans are very obviously going to take advantage of this, and it’s going to hurt the Democrats nationwide,» Rantz said on CNN. «You could win in New York, you could win in Seattle, you can win in Portland, in Los Angeles. But that’s where you’re going to win.
«And if we’re able to define the Democrats who have tried to run away from this label of being socialist, being open borders, being, you know, pro-crime or anti-Israel, if that’s the goal of the Democratic Party to run from that. Yeah, you’re not going to be able to do that anymore,» Rantz continued.
