Argentine President Javier Milei suffered a sweeping setback on Sunday in a Buenos Aires provincial election widely viewed as a political test for his libertarian party and a barometer for how it will perform in crucial congressional midterms next month.
Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province,

Milei's party crushed in Argentine local elections
The party of Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei has suffered a sweeping setback in the Buenos Aires provincial election that is viewed as a barometer of the party's performance in congressional midterms next month. Milei’s recently formed La Libertad Avanza party captured just 34% of the vote in Argentina’s biggest province while the left-leaning Peronist opposition secured 47%, with the majority of ballots counted late Sunday. With Milei’s close associates embroiled by a gr…

Jack Ciattarelli, a former state legislator endorsed by Donald Trump won the Republican nomination quickly Tuesday evening. 
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy pilot and federal prosecutor, won on the Democratic side, beating out five competitors.
New Jersey is one of two states, along with Virginia, hosting a high-stakes gubernatorial contest this year.

'Admission of weakness': Trump's latest election moves seen as confession about GOP odds - Raw Story

We are barely 6 months into #TheAmericanFascist Presidency and we already find ourselves with fundamental rights in the American Constitution under direct threat and the power of the judiciary to enforce and check the power of the President being pulled back.
And Democratic Party members seem to be all talk and very very little action or leadership to counter this.
Are they waiting for the midterms to take back Congress?
At this pace, surely they see the risk that there may not BE midterms. Or that the results are negated, disputed or invalidated.
I can’t fathom how they are not removing themselves from Congress now in protest and calling for a general protest/strike of all freedom loving Americans to restore the constitution, force the Trump appointed fascist enabling judges to resign, and force Trump and his Administration to go.
July 4th is coming. Independence Day? Or not? Democracy or not?

Also on Thursday, JD Vance met with Republican lawmakers in Indiana to encourage them to redraw the state’s congressional map to be more favorable to the GOP, the latest in a brazen nationwide push to reconfigure district lines ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
Republicans already control seven of Indiana’s nine congressional seats, but the party has complete control of state government, which could allow them to redraw the map to pick up more seats.

Might run for Antichrist in the midterms

Democrats and opposition groups call the bill the Trump Tax Scam,
and with solid majorities turning against it in poll after poll, they are preparing to hammer Republicans for supporting cuts that will harm their constituents ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Republicans are repeating falsehoods about the bill’s impacts,
especially on health care, and lashing out in response — or calling it quits altogether.

Trump seeks big voting changes, but the Constitution doesn't give the president a say over elections

He also wants to eliminate voting machines, some form of which are used in almost all of the country’s thousands of election jurisdictions. The Constitution makes the states the en…
