Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) trails Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) by 22 points in the state’s Republican Senate primary, according to a new poll released on Tuesday.

The survey, which was conducted by pollster Robert Blizzard on behalf of the Educational Freedom Institute and first obtained by Punchbowl News, showed Paxton leading Cornyn 50 percent to 28 percent among Republican primary voters.

Paxton expanded his lead among voters described as “very conservative GOP primary voters,” leading Cornyn 60 percent to 22 percent. Among voters described as “high propensity 3/3 GOP primary voters,” Paxton leads Cornyn by 30 points. The poll also showed Paxton leading Cornyn by 35 points among “MAGA voters” and by 12 points among senior voters.

The poll is the latest in a string of data points showing the incumbent senator trailing the conservative primary challenger. Last week, a poll from the Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research and Survey Center at Texas Southern University showed Paxton leading in a hypothetical two-way contest with 43 percent to Cornyn’s 34 percent, and 23 percent unsure.

Republican Support for Same-Sex Marriage Drops to 10-Year Low– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

A new poll is showing that support for same-sex marriage has dropped to a 10-year low among Republicans but spiked to a record high among Democrats.

According to Gallup, 68% of Americans overall support same-sex marriage, barely down from 69% last year. However, that “steady” level of support—approval for same-sex marriage has hovered between 67% and 71% over the past five years and has not fallen below 50% since 2011—belies a stark and rapidly growing political division.

Gallup reports that support for same-sex marriage among Republicans has fallen to 41%, down from an all-time high of 55% in 2021 and 2022 and the lowest point since May of 2016, when support stood at 40%.

Among Democrats, however, support for same-sex marriage has peaked at 88%, the highest point recorded by Gallup among any faction. That’s up from 83% last year. Support for same-sex marriage has not fallen below 70% among Democrats since 2013, when it stood at 69%.

Independent voters generally track more closely with Democrats on the issue but are still lagging 12 points behind at 76%, up from 74% last year but down from an all-time high of 77% in 2023. Support for same-sex marriage has not fallen below 50% among independents since 2010, when it stood at 49%.

Despite statistics on support for same-sex marriage, fewer Americans of all political stripes consider same-sex relationships morally acceptable. According to Gallup, only 38% of Republicans consider same-sex relationships morally acceptable, compared to 69% of independent voters and 86% among Democrats.

Dems Are Getting Way Out Over Their Skis About 2026 Midterms – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Here’s a prime example from something that Matt wrote yesterday:

Democrats aren’t even pretending anymore. If they retake the House, they’re coming for Trump—again. On Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) openly admitted she would “absolutely” launch an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump if given the gavel on the House Oversight Committee. No pretense, no evidence—just raw political vengeance. From Elon Musk’s role in cutting government waste to Trump’s legal fights with Harvard and high-powered law firms, Crockett is already laying the groundwork to turn routine policy and legal disputes into impeachable offenses. Her comments make one thing unmistakably clear: Democrats are gearing up to use the power of Congress not for oversight, but for retaliation.

 

I’m still not convinced that this “We still super-duper hate Trump!” approach is a winner for bringing the Democrats back to any semblance of political relevance. Sure, it gets the coastal and Illinois Democrats frothing even more than usual, but it can’t have much — if any — play at all with the traditional voters that they have been losing.

As far as long-term planning goes, the 24/7 Trump Derangement Syndrome shtick is really going to leave their tank empty come January of 2029. They’ll try to brand JD Vance, Ron DeSantis, or whomever emerges as the GOP frontrunner as the next Satan, but it’s not going have that same zing for their base that “ORANGE MAN BAD!” does.

Supreme Court Takes Up Key Election Law Case– townhall.com

The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hear an election case from Illinois, which promises to clarify the legal standards federal election candidates must meet to challenge state election laws in federal court, according to Judicial Watch.

The case is known as Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, where Representative Mike Bost (R-IL) and two other Republican presidential elector nominees filed a lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Elections. The suit challenged a state law authorizing the acceptance of mail-in ballots up to two weeks after election day. A district court dismissed the case due to a lack of standing, and the ruling was upheld by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Standing has been a contentious issue since 2020. The plaintiff must meet three requirements to have standing in a federal lawsuit as established by the Supreme Court case Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992). They must show a concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent injury, there has to be a causal connection between the injury and the issue brought before the court, and it must be likely that the court’s ruling will redress the injury. The lower courts argued that because Rep. Bost had won the election, he failed to show a personal injury caused by the state election law.

A shock new poll has revealed that Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) could be in with a chance of defeating Democrat incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in deep blue New York’s gubernatorial election.

In a hypothetical match-up, Stefanik and Hochul are neck-and-neck, the poll found.

The polling was revealed in a recent survey by data analytics firm co/efficient.

The results of the survey, obtained by the New York Post, show Stefanik, a close ally of President Donald Trump, as the strongest contender to unseat Hochul.

The independent poll revealed that Hochul, who is up for reelection next year, would have 43 percent of the vote.

Stefanik, meanwhile, is just a hair behind with 42 percent.

About 15 percent of New Yorkers are still undecided, the poll noted.

Excerpt:

Internal polling shows Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) leading as he campaigns for the governorship of his state, Florida Politics reported on Monday.

The news comes after President Donald Trump endorsed Donalds for the 2026 gubernatorial race, calling him a “TOTAL WINNER,” Breitbart News reported on February 20.

According to the Politics article, Donalds is pulling out ahead of two other Republicans who could possibly run for governor:

Fort Lauderdale-based survey, research and strategic consulting firm Fabrizio Lee & Associates, which Donalds hired for his campaign, polled 600 likely Republican Primary voters in Florida from Feb. 26-27. The poll had a 5-percentage-point margin of error.

Pollsters found that 34% of respondents prefer Donalds as Florida’s next Governor, while 30% like First Lady Casey DeSantis for the job.

Three percent said they plan to vote for Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who is also rumored to be gearing up for a run. The remainder were undecided.

The Politics report noted that as voters learn Donalds is Trump’s pick, his potential for victory grows.

Excerpt:

No one ever said the attacks on President Trump had any originality, but three prominent Democratic Senators were caught on Tuesday basically plagiarizing each other.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump will be delivering the first address of his second term to Congress, which the administration is promising will be a must-see TV event.

The theme of the speech is titled “The Renewal of the American Dream,” and will feature four sections according to Fox News: accomplishments from Trump’s second term thus far at home and abroad, what the Trump administration has done for the economy, the president’s renewed push for Congress to pass additional funding for border security, and the president’s plans for peace around the globe.

Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, and Cory Booker (D-NJ) all delivered a ‘preview’ rebuttal of sorts to Trump this morning that has backfired.

As one will see, they have posted a silly video where they copy each other nearly word-for-word. It opens with Trump vowing to bring down prices starting on Day One before cutting to the Democrats launching tired attacks on him.

Disgraced Former Governor Andrew Cuomo Launches Campaign To Lead ‘Threatening, Out Of Control’ New York City– dailycaller.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Former Democratic New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday the launch of his bid to become the next mayor of New York City.

Cuomo, who resigned from office in 2021 after being accused of sexually harassing more than a dozen women — including some of his staff members — began considering entering the mayoral race a week prior to the announcement, CBS News reported. He joins the race involving several opponents including the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, who was indicted on federal corruption charges Sept. 26, 2024.

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice dropped bribery charges levied against Adams on Feb. 10, 2025. In addition to a leadership crisis involving top Adams administration officials, the city faces issues such as high rent, crime and providing migrants with resources.

Cuomo called the city “out of control” in his 17-minute announcement posted online.

“We know that today our New York City is in trouble. You feel it when you walk down the street and try not to make eye contact with a mentally ill homeless person or when the anxiety rises up in your chest as you’re walking down into the subway. You see it in the empty storefronts, the graffiti, the grime, the migrant influx, the random violence,” he said. “The city just feels threatening, out of control and in crisis.”

GOP Rep. Mike Lawler vowed Monday to request a federal racketeering probe against New York over Albany Democrats’ plot to keep an Empire State congressional seat open – and hobble the Republican majority.

Lawler joined a growing chorus of high-profile Republicans who condemned Dems for considering changing state election laws to keep the deep-red upstate District 21 seat held by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) open well after her expected resignation.

“I am going to be requesting that the Department of Justice open up a RICO investigation into New York State, because this is as corrupt a state as we have seen,” Lawler said.

Little has enraged football fans quite like the most recent AFC Championship game, in which a pair of questionable calls propelled the Kansas City Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl. Conspiracy theories and jokes about a rigged NFL abound after years of suspicion that the league orders its referees to give the Chiefs every call.

This is nonsense, of course, but imagine if an email inviting high-profile Chiefs fans to a secret meeting with head coach Andy Reid, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, his head of officiating, and Taylor Swift was uncovered. And imagine if the subject line of that email was “Chance to put the Super Bowl in play in 2025.”

Now imagine that email was real, and it wasn’t about rigging football games, but congressional elections. That’s exactly what’s going on in Wisconsin, where the state Democrat Party is brazenly using this April’s State Supreme Court race to gerrymander Republican Wisconsin Representatives Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden right out of their seats in the 2026 midterms.
