Socialist tenant organizer who blasted ‘sell-out Democrats’ loses Midwest primary
Democrats pressed on socialist candidates after series of primary wins
Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson speaks on recent Democratic socialist wins in primary elections. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., also joins ‘Fox News Sunday’ to address controversial comments made by socialist candidates and weigh in on why young Americans are open to embracing socialism.

Jordan Herrera, an attorney, Air Force veteran and former Missouri assistant attorney general, won the Democratic nomination Tuesday in Missouri’s newly redrawn 4th Congressional District, defeating better-funded democratic socialist Hartzell Gray in a seven-way primary.
Herrera prevailed over Gray, the 33-year-old former Kansas City radio host and tenant organizer who drew national attention after appearing on Hasan Piker’s Twitch livestream and blasting «sell-out Democrats.»
The result puts a more conventional Democrat on the November ballot against Republican Rep. Mark Alford in the GOP-leaning district, rather than Gray, who had framed his campaign as a left-wing challenge to the party establishment.

The new 4th District takes in part of Kansas City before extending south through a broad swath of suburban and rural Missouri. While the map made Alford’s district less Republican than it had been, it remains a solidly GOP seat.
Gray emerged as the clear financial leader in the Democratic field. FEC records showed his campaign had raised about $250,000 through mid-July — more than six times the roughly $40,000 raised by Herrera and far more than Cass, the 2024 Democratic nominee who again sought the seat.
The Kansas City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said its backing of Gray marked its first endorsement in a federal race. The group praised Gray’s refusal to take money from corporations, developers and lobbying groups, while pointing to his support for universal health care, tenant protections and more progressive taxation.

Gray, who has also called for rent controls, Medicare for All and ending the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, has framed his campaign as a rebuke of a Democratic Party he argues has become too closely tied to wealthy donors and corporate interests. The 2010 ruling allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited sums independently to influence elections.
His appearance on Piker’s show helped turn an otherwise low-profile Missouri primary into a small test case for the party’s socialist left, which has increasingly relied on social media personalities, small-dollar donors and activist networks to build support outside traditional party structures.

Gray’s campaign said viewers gave more than $30,000 after the Piker appearance. He later appeared on The Majority Report , another left-leaning online program, as his campaign sought to translate national attention into turnout in Kansas City.

The primary also included former Democratic nominee Jeanette Cass, attorney and Air Force veteran Herrera, radio host Randy Miller, Ashleigh Rogers, Wayne Russell and G. Rick.
Gray’s nomination is a win for a local Democratic Socialists of America chapter that had not previously backed a federal candidate. But the general election will test whether the kind of coalition that powered him through a fractured Democratic primary can compete in a district intentionally drawn to favor Republicans.

Rusia lanzó un nuevo ataque masivo con drones y misiles contra Ucrania: al menos 15 muertos y 44 heridos
Una nueva ola de ataques con misiles y drones lanzados por Rusia causó la muerte de al menos 15 personas y dejó heridas a otras 24 en la capital ucraniana, Kiev, y su región durante la noche del martes y la madrugada de este miércoles. Este bombardeo se suma a los más reciente en una serie de ofensivas mortales del Kremlin contra territorio ucraniano.
Periodistas en la ciudad reportaron explosiones poco después de la medianoche, luego de que la fuerza aérea ucraniana advirtiera sobre la llegada de misiles balísticos. Uno de ellos describió la presencia de humo negro y el persistente olor a quemado en el aire horas después del ataque.
La administración militar de Kiev confirmó que los misiles y drones impactaron edificios residenciales y almacenes. “El enemigo está atacando una vez más deliberadamente a personas e infraestructura civil”, señaló la institución en un comunicado difundido en Telegram. En Kiev, el ataque provocó incendios en cuatro distritos, y dejó una mujer muerta y al menos 24 personas heridas.
En la región de la capital, las autoridades informaron de 14 fallecidos y más de 20 heridos en las zonas aledañas. “La región de Kiev ha sufrido esta noche uno de sus ataques enemigos más trágicos”, escribió Tymur Tkachenko, jefe de la administración militar regional.
La nueva ola de ataques se suma a otras incursiones nocturnas recientes: el sábado, bombardeos rusos sobre Kiev y sus suburbios dejaron 10 muertos y más de 30 heridos, mientras que drones ucranianos hundieron un buque portacontenedores ruso en el Mar Negro. En los últimos meses, Ucrania solicitó a sus aliados el suministro de más interceptores Patriot de fabricación estadounidense, a medida que Rusia incrementa el uso de misiles balísticos más de cuatro años después del inicio de la invasión a gran escala.
Un análisis de la agencia AFP indicó que tanto Rusia como Ucrania intensificaron sus ataques de largo alcance en las últimas semanas, con Rusia duplicando el uso de misiles en julio. El empleo de drones se volvió habitual y Ucrania incrementó sus bombardeos contra infraestructuras, incluidas instalaciones de petróleo, gas y logística en territorio ruso.
Cinco personas murieron y otras diez resultaron heridas el martes por la mañana en la región de Moscú, en una ofensiva de Kiev dirigida a almacenes del gigante ruso de comercio electrónico Wildberries. El alcalde de Moscú informó que las defensas aéreas rusas interceptaron y destruyeron al menos diez drones que se dirigían hacia la capital. El gobernador de Tula, al sur de la capital, reportó que las defensas destruyeron 107 drones ucranianos durante la noche, con daños en dos edificios de apartamentos y un incendio en una instalación logística de Wildberries.
La empresa, a la que Ucrania acusa de almacenar piezas de drones y colaborar con el Ejército ruso, ordenó una “evacuación preventiva”. Mientras tanto, Kiev expresó indignación por un vídeo que muestra a un hombre perseguido por un dron en Kherson, hecho al que calificó como una “caza” deliberada de civiles.
Los observadores de derechos humanos de la ONU alertaron por el aumento de víctimas civiles, que alcanzó su nivel más alto desde el inicio de la invasión rusa en febrero de 2022. El presidente ucraniano, Volodimir Zelensky, afirmó que la falta de interceptores de misiles balísticos “solo anima a Rusia a lanzar ataques que cuestan vidas humanas”. La semana pasada, Zelensky se reunió con el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, para solicitar licencias que permitan la producción de sistemas Patriot en Ucrania.
Rusia declaró que el ataque del sábado tenía como objetivo industrias del complejo militar-industrial y centros logísticos. Entre los edificios dañados en Kiev se encuentran la embajada de Lituania y un edificio residencial de cinco plantas.

Trump-backed candidate lands GOP nod, setting up high-stakes governor showdown
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s kingmaker status in Republican primaries was on the line Tuesday in Michigan’s GOP gubernatorial nomination showdown – and the president passed the test.
Republican Rep. John James, a two-time U.S. Senate nominee in the crucial Great Lakes battleground state who was endorsed by Trump in late June, topped multimillionaire businessman Perry Johnson to win the GOP primary, the Associated Press reported.
The West Point graduate and Army Ranger who served multiple combat tours as an Apache helicopter pilot in the Iraq war will face off in a high-stakes and expensive general election battle with two-term Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Democrats’ gubernatorial nominee, in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

James preached party unity in his victory speech.
«The primary is over now. We come together. One team, one fight, one mission to save Michigan. To those who supported me. Thank you. And for those who did not, I’m going to work every single day to earn your trust,» he told supporters.
The GOP primary between James and Johnson, a former gubernatorial and presidential candidate, turned combative. Johnson, who is White, referred to James, one of the few Black Republicans in Congress, as a «DEI candidate» and in a recent debate accused James of playing the «race card.» James, meanwhile, called Johnson «desperate.»
Johnson, who shelled out millions of his own money into his campaign, dramatically outspent James in the primary showdown.

But James told Fox News on the eve of the primary that «nobody outworks a ranger,» and «money isn’t the only thing. People want someone who resonates with them, someone who has the proven leadership capability to turn the state around.»
James and Johnson were the final two Republican candidates in a nomination race that previously included former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox and state Senate Republican leader Aric Nesbitt. They both suspended their GOP gubernatorial campaigns, but their names remained on the primary ballot.

Trump gave James a boost last month as he campaigned with the congressman at a rally in Michigan.
The brute force of the president’s endorsement power has been on display in GOP primaries this spring and summer, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Kentucky and Texas, as well as the Louisiana primary.
But Trump’s endorsement streak in statewide and congressional Republican primaries was snapped in early June when his last-minute endorsement of Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa in the race to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds wasn’t enough to propel the three-term congressman to victory.
Feenstra was narrowly edged by Zach Lahn, a businessman, farmer and former political strategist who was backed by the political wings of MAHA — the acronym for the Make America Healthy Again movement aligned with Trump’s Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Turning Point USA, the powerful conservative organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
Trump-backed candidates won two of the three top races in key GOP primary runoff elections in Georgia and Alabama in June, with the one setback coming against billionaire businessman Rick Jackson, who shelled out over $100 million of his own money to boost his campaign.

A week later, Trump-backed first-time candidate Anthony Constantino, a businessman and former boxer, defeated Robert Smullen, a retired Marine Corps colonel and New York assemblyman who had the backing of the state party, in the upstate New York race to succeed retiring GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik.
Meanwhile, in South Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial runoff, Trump couldn’t lose.
That’s because, besides backing Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette a few weeks earlier, he also gave a last-minute endorsement to state Attorney General Alan Wilson, who ended up winning the late June showdown in a landslide.
The president also enjoyed victory in Louisiana, where Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump in his 2021 impeachment trial, was ousted as he sought renomination. Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow ended up winning the nomination in the runoff election.
And last month, Trump-backed Rep. Andy Biggs, a former House Freedom Caucus chair, won Arizona’s primary for governor in a landslide.
