MAGA tears are flowing across WNY today as Carl Paladino loses the NY23 Primary to NYS Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy.
In true MAGAt fashion, perennial Carl Paladino supporter Rus Thompson is officially swearing off Donald Trump for not endorsing Carl and personally blaming him for Carl’s defeat.
If only someone campaigned a bit more outside of Erie County and not in areas of WNY that isn’t even within its borders:
CNN election expert John King was floored on Tuesday night after New Jersey's voters elected a Democrat as the state's next governor.
Democrat Mikie Sherill was projected to win the state's governor's seat against Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Sherill's race was called after she won 56% of the vote with more than three-quarters of precincts reporting, according to CNN.
What surprised King the most was that Sherill outperformed Kamala Harris's efforts during the 2024 campaign against President Donald Trump.
"This is definitely a warning shot across the bow of the White House and I would say the Republican Party," King said. "Donald Trump won big just a year ago in 2024. This is America saying we're still not happy. And you're in charge now, and we're not happy."
He also found that Sherill had flipped the five counties Trump won during his campaign against Harris, which is an obvious warning sign for Republicans.
"That's called 'Never mind, we're going back to vote for the Democrats,'" King said.
