Celeste Maloy (R) defeated Kathleen Riebe (D) Tuesday night in the race to fill Chris Stewart’s (R) empty seat in Congress, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

“Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is indicating to allies he may want to run for New York City mayor if fellow Democrat Eric Adams sinks under the weight of a federal investigation,” Politico reports.

“Cuomo, who resigned more than two years ago amid allegations of sexual harassment and claims his administration covered up the number of Covid-19 deaths tied to nursing homes, has begun in recent days to gauge the viability of a potential mayoral bid.”

“Cuomo would not run in a primary race that includes Adams, whom he considers a friend.”

“A new super PAC supporting the presidential campaign of Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) released a series of television ads Tuesday that directly challenge the electability of President Biden,” the Washington Post reports.

“Some of the spots — which will initially run in New Hampshire and the Washington area — compare Biden’s campaign to a burning dynamite fuse overlaid on news headlines about his struggles and recent polling results showing him trailing former president Donald Trump.”

Jeff Roe, the top consultant for a super PAC allied with Gov. Ron DeSantis, got into a heated argument with longtime DeSantis confidant Scott Wagner:

ROE: You have a stick up your ass, Scott.

WAGNER: Why don’t you come over here and get it?

Wagner got up from his chair, but was quickly restrained by two fellow board members.

“Fight Right, a newly formed super PAC backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president, will go after former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for past comments she’s made about Hillary Clinton in its first TV ad,” NBC News reports.

“The 30-second ad takes past Haley quotes about Clinton out of context. It marks the latest instance of pro-DeSantis groups targeting the former United Nations ambassador, who has been rising in both early state and national polls, threatening DeSantis’ long-established second-place standing in the Republican presidential primary.”

From the ad: “Crooked Hillary. But to Nikki Haley, she’s her role model. The reason she ran for office.”

Nate Silver: “None of the voters who were in the age 18-29 bracket the last time Obama was on the ballot in 2012 will be in that group next year. Today’s young voters may not have particularly clear memories of Obama or the somewhat kitschy, nostalgic treatment of Biden during his years as Vice President.”

“Instead, a voter in their late 20s will now have faced three consecutive elections with candidates they weren’t very enthusiastic about. Sanders, not Hillary Clinton or Biden, was the choice of young liberals in 2016 in 2020. This year, Democrats haven’t really had a contested nomination at all. ‘Hold your nose and vote for this old person that you didn’t want to be nominated’ is a tough message to sell three times in a row.”

“To be clear, I think the sales pitch will work with some young voters, particularly around issues like abortion and gay and trans rights. But Democrats aren’t making it easy on themselves by consistently nominating presidential candidates with little youth appeal.”

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who is challenging President Biden in the Democratic presidential primaries, told The Atlantic that Donald Trump will select Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his running mate.

Said Philips: “And they will be very difficult to beat.”
