While it appears unlikely the Democrat mayoral primary in the District of Columbia will go to a second round of vote tallies, a winner hasn’t been called as of Wednesday afternoon despite one candidate holding a majority of the vote.

The race would likely have been called for Janeese Lewis George, a D.C. councilmember who is aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, if the city had not adopted ranked choice voting in a 2024 ballot initiative.

The nation’s capital applied ranked choice voting for the first time in its local races, a system where voters rank a first, second, and third choice. If no candidate gets 50% or more, another round of counting commences in which the lowest‑ranked candidates are eliminated. Rounds continue until one candidate reaches a majority.

By early Wednesday, with almost two-thirds of the vote reportedly counted, George had 52% of the vote. Her nearest opponent was Kenyan McDuffie with 36%. Other candidates received 3% or less, according to The Associated Press. The winner will replace outgoing three-term Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Because D.C. is an overwhelmingly Democrat city, the party primary is usually the de facto deciding factor for who wins the general election.

In another important D.C. race, Councilman Robert White Jr. won the Democrat primary for D.C. delegate to the House of Representatives, putting him in a position to replace the 18-term Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.

White captured a decisive 63% of the vote, beating his nearest rival, Brooke Pinto, who won 21%, according to The Associated Press.

Ranked choice voting was also used in the primary in New York City in 2025, where Zohran Mamdani, also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won a clear majority to avoid a second round of voting. The city first tried it in 2021, and the results of the Democratic mayoral race were delayed by 14 days due to widespread absentee voting and multiple rounds of ranked choice vote counting, even as it appeared then-candidate Eric Adams was in the lead.

As of March, 17 cities, counties, and states use ranked choice voting for local elections, according to FairVote. Alaska and Maine are the only states to adopt it statewide.

FairVote and other proponents contend that ranking candidates will produce a more consensus candidate and reduce division. They also contend it is less likely a candidate getting a small plurality in a crowded primary will win without a broader appeal.

Ranking votes can take longer and risk longer lines at the polls. Lengthier ballots are also more expensive to print and mail, according to the Honest Elections Project, which opposes the system. The group has also argued that complicated ballot tabulation can lead to errors, pointing out that Oakland, California, officials failed to detect a tabulation error and certified the wrong winner in a 2022 ranked choice voting school board race.

A plurality of American voters considered the U.S. war against Iran a failure, nearly half wanted Washington to end military action immediately, and barely one-third would have kept fighting until the Islamic regime in Tehran was destroyed, according to a new Rasmussen poll.

One of the many downsides of the rise of “Democrat Socialists” is their disdain for business, entrepreneurs, capitalism, and land rights. Theirs is an envy-driven agenda that trash-talks success and tells their voters they are owed the money earned by those who earned it. It’s an easy sell to the less educated among us. Capitalism […]

President Donald Trump announced that the United States and Iran are beginning discussions on a final deal.

Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran on Thursday, opening a round of negotiations to reach a final peace agreement in 60 days.

The memorandum of understanding, first reached over the weekend with Iran, involves the U.S. removing its naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days, Iran ensuring safe passage of commercial vessels through the strait for 60 days, and both parties negotiating a final agreement within 60 days, a senior administration official told reporters on a press call Wednesday.

“This is fundamentally an agreement that allows us to open the Strait of Hormuz immediately, commit the Iranians to destroying the nuclear dust, and then gives us a dial where if the Iranians dial up their good behavior, we respond by dialing up the kind of economic and sanctions relief that can make them a more prosperous country,” the senior official said.

The U.S. will terminate all sanctions if Iran agrees not to procure or develop nuclear weapons. Iran has agreed to destroy its enriched uranium stockpile, the administration official said. The uranium will be down-blended on-site with lower-grade material, under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

In a mutual agreement, the U.S. and regional partners will develop a definitive plan of at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran.

The U.S. is not required to pay “a cent of money” to Iran or contribute to the fund, the official said. However, if Iran “behaves,” Emirati authorities could build a power plant in Iran.

Trump said the U.S. will resume attacks on Iran if talks on the new deal fail.

“We’re going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement,” he said at the G7 summit in Evian, France.

This story was updated with the news that Trump signed the memorandum of understanding.

'There is a tangible loss of social cohesion'

Wednesday on MS NOW's "Money, Power, Politics," Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) claimed the SAVE America Act was not "going to happen at all," adding he did not believe there was Republican support for it.

As Senate Republicans hem and haw over the SAVE America Act, grassroots conservatives are beginning to lose patience. 

During a recent GOP event in Texas, several Sentinels, members of Heritage Action’s nationwide grassroots network, voiced growing frustration with what they see as unnecessary Senate delays.  

House Republicans acted months ago to pass the SAVE America Act; the legislation now sits in legislative limbo, waiting for Senate Republicans to bring the bill to a vote.  

“Get your act together,” said Sylvia, a Sentinel of 10 years. “The longer you drag your feet, the more you look like dead weight to us. We’re sick of the games.” 

Another Sentinel, John, put it in more serious terms. “American democracy is under threat with the way we mismanage our voting.” 

Their frustration reflects a growing belief among concerned conservatives who view election integrity as a top priority and expect Republican lawmakers to act decisively. For such voters, the SAVE America Act is a baseline requirement for restoring trust in the electoral system, and anyone standing in the way of its passage is a liability. 

But if Sentinels are impatient, House Republicans may be even more so.  

“The SAVE America Act is a very popular bill, maybe the most popular bill in America right now,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, told Heritage Action. “The only place this is controversial is in the United States Senate.” 

Cloud argued that election security shouldn’t be political, pointing to the bill’s bipartisan bona fides. “No matter where you are on the political spectrum, you want to know that elections are secure, that they’re safe, and that your vote is counted,” he said. 

Though some Senate Republicans seem to minimize the importance of the SAVE America Act, strong public support for the legislation shows the American people have a different opinion. Heritage Action polling shows 71% of Americans support the SAVE America Act, including wide swathes of Republicans, Democrats, and independents.  

At its core, the SAVE America Act seeks to strengthen election integrity through a series of commonsense reforms. The bill would require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and mandate photo identification to cast a ballot. It would also compel states to maintain accurate voter rolls by removing noncitizens, ensuring that only eligible voters participate in federal elections. 

This would mean a more secure election system. Citizenship verification at registration ensures only eligible individuals are added to the voter rolls in the first place, while photo ID requirements provide additional protection at the ballot box, confirming that the person voting is the same individual who registered. If someone makes it through the cracks, they would be removed during routine voter roll clean-ups.  

Considering several blue states have expanded access to driver’s licenses for noncitizens, these provisions take on added importance. Such policies muddy the waters on election integrity and make it easier to cheat. By requiring both citizenship verification and voter ID, the SAVE America Act would go a long way in closing those vulnerabilities before they could be exploited. 

Working alongside Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas; and other allies, Heritage Action has urged senators to co-sponsor the legislation and Senate leadership to bring it to the floor, and to enforce the talking filibuster if the vote faces obstruction. Heritage Action also issued a Key Vote on the legislation in the House, putting dissenting members in the spotlight for failing to support conservative priorities.  

As a result, all but four Republican senators have now signed on as co-sponsors. 

Co-sponsorship is good; now the Senate must act. The SAVE America Act is a flagship election integrity bill strongly supported by the Trump administration, and Senate Republicans must move to pass it immediately.  

The grassroots demand it, and America’s elections depend on it.
