Rebecca Bennett, a Democrat nominee for Congress in New Jersey, was caught on audio claiming she stopped going to church specifically because she could not stand sitting in the same pews as people who voted for President Donald Trump.
The Washington Free Beacon reported that it obtained audio from a February campaign event of Bennett, a Navy veteran and healthcare executive running against Republican incumbent Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. for the state’s 7th Congressional District. In the clip, Bennett answers a question about how she deals with invocations of her patriotism being considered a “right-coded way of presenting yourself.”
“I will say I use that word intentionally, and the reason that I do it is because, so, I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, and after Trump got elected, I stopped going to church for the first time in my life because I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this room of people,’” she responded. “At the time, I was stationed somewhere that was pretty conservative. I was still in the military at the time. I was like, ‘I cannot sit in this church full of people who voted for Trump.’ And then, ultimately, I decided they do not get to decide what Christianity looks like, and to me, it’s the same thing about (how) they do not get to decide what patriotism is. You do not get to wrap yourself in the flag while you are literally murdering Americans in broad daylight.” (The audio ends before Bennett elaborates on which Americans were “murdered in broad daylight.”)

David Flippo, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who earned President Donald Trump’s support, won the GOP primary to replace retiring Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei.
The race in Nevada’s 2nd District was a proxy war between Trump and prominent state Republicans, many of whom backed former state Sen. James Settelmeyer, including Amodei and GOP Gov. Joe Lombardo. Flippo ended up emerging victorious on Wednesday from a crowded, 13-person Republican field.
The victory continues Trump’s 2026 hot streak in GOP primary endorsements, marred only by a hiccup in last week’s Iowa gubernatorial primary. Trump backed Flippo in a Truth Social post in late May, less than two weeks before Election Day.
Flippo campaigned as a hardliner on immigration and transgender issues, and he slammed Settelmeyer as a “woke liberal” in ads. But Settelmeyer’s opponents took issue with Flippo, a longtime Las Vegas resident who only recently purchased property in Reno, attempting to run the state’s lone safely Republican district.

Democrat Rep. and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) has held her congressional seat in California for 39 years. Once Pelosi announced in November 2025 that she planned to retire from the House of Representatives, several people scrambled to run for the District 11 seat. As the votes in California are still being counted, three Democrats are vying for the Top 2 spots that will move to the November general election: the Pelosi-endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, State Sen. Scott Wiener, and former chief of staff for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Saikat Chakrabarti.

With the midterms looming as summer kicks off, the recent victory of Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb in the Democrat primary election for the 3rd Congressional District suggests that socialism remains strong on the left.
In the May 19th primary, Rabb defeated the so-called establishment candidate, state Sen. Sharif Street, a former Democrat Party Chair and proud partner of the Philadelphia political machine.
During the campaign, Rabb openly criticized the Democrat Party, blasted the status quo, earned endorsements from progressive groups like the Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America and Our Revolution, received shout-outs from socialist superstars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), praised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and boldly ran as a democratic socialist.

At the ripe old age of 95, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is finally leaving congress. She has served in congress since 1987. She has served as Speaker of the House not once, but twice. Her role in undermining Americanism while advancing Progmericanism is laudable for Progmericans but treason to Americans. She made the official announcement while appearing to groom her daughter, Christine Pelosi, to take her place.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) retirement will open up her San Francisco-based House seat for the first time in decades, with eyes already turning to state Democrats to see who will jump into the jungle primary to replace the political powerhouse.
Pelosi, who announced her retirement on Thursday, is the latest in a handful of old guard establishment Democrats making their exit in the wake of the 2024 election — especially as younger, progressive candidates are launching primary bids against elder lawmakers.
The Democratic titan entered Congress in 1987 and is in her 20th term. Considered one of the most powerful women in U.S. political history, she steadily rose through the ranks of the House Democratic Caucus after arriving on Capitol Hill and was elected House minority whip in 2001 and became House minority leader a year later. She stepped down as party leader in 2022.
Is Nancy Pelosi going to just hand her Congressional Seat over to her daughter to continue the Pelosi dynasty now that she’s stepping down?
It might not be quite that easy, but some believe that’s exactly what they’ll try to do.
On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi announced she will retire and not seek re-election after being in office for over 40 years.
Pelosi announced on Thursday morning she would not seek re-election in 2027.
The world of politics never stops, so shortly after she announced she was retiring, many people have speculated that her daughter Christine Pelosi would take her mother’s seat.
The Hill had more details to add on Pelosi’s possible replacements.
The race is on to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after she announced on Thursday she wouldn’t be running for reelection, opening up her San Francisco-based House seat for the first time in decades.
A handful of Democrats have been floated as potential successors. Unlikely other states, California has a “jungle primary,” meaning all candidates are listed on the same ballot, regardless of party. The top two vote-getters then proceed to the general election, meaning two Democrats could square off next November for her seat.
Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York has assumed Pelosi’s former role as House Democratic leader, while Senator Chuck Schumer, 74, continues as the party leader in that chamber.
While there are tensions between Jeffries, 55, and more liberal Democrats, he is expected to be the likely choice for speaker if the party does capture control of the House.
“Nancy Pelosi is an iconic, legendary, transformational figure who has done so many things over so many years to make life better for so many people,” Jeffries said at a press conference on Monday when asked about Pelosi’s 2026 intentions.
During her tenure, Pelosi gained a reputation as a defender of human rights and an early advocate of gay rights at a time when AIDS swept through the world and especially her hometown of San Francisco in the 1980s and beyond.
Far-left California State Senator Scott Wiener has already launched his bid to replace Pelosi.
NBC News reporter Scott Wong posted on Monday that “Multiple Democratic elected officials and top aides in CA and Washington tell @NBCNews they believe NANCY PELOSI will choose not to seek re-election in 2026, after nearly four decades representing her San Francisco-based district.”
Far-left California State Senator Scott Wiener has already launched his bid to replace Pelosi. “It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco! I’ll fight Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress,” he said in late October.
