Senator Gus Guenther Announces Bid for DNC Chair in Post-Election Push "I am proud to announce that I am standing for DNC Chair." - Senator Guenther In a surprise move following the recent election results, Senator Gus Guenther (D-RI) has declared his candidacy for the position of Democratic National Committee Chair. Speaking at a press conference in the Rotunda, Guenther outlined his vision for revitalizing the Democratic Party as it looks toward the 2028 election cycle. “After great thought and careful consideration, I am proud to announce that I am standing for DNC Chair,” Guenther declared, noting that the decision came within twelve hours of the election results. His announcement sets the stage for what could be a significant reshaping of the party’s leadership in an election year. Guenther emphasized the importance of reconnecting with everyday Americans, stressing the need for the Democratic Party to prioritize the issues that matter most to working families. “Our party is committed to working people. We are the voice of everyday Americans,” he stated. “The success of the Democratic Party is vital if we are going to restore sanity, competency, and vision to not just the White House and Senate, but to statehouses and governor's mansions across this great and holy country.” Among his proposals, Guenther highlighted a plan to innovate the primary system by hosting party-run town halls. These events, he explained, would bring candidates directly to voters and foster meaningful dialogue on the issues. “Politics is about the personal. Only then does it actually work for the Jims, Marlas, Diegos, and LaFondas of America,” he said. Guenther’s platform also includes creating a unified declaration of the party’s core legislative principles to ensure cohesion across various Democratic factions. He vowed to build a durable infrastructure of organizing and coalition-building that he hopes will guide the party for “generations, if not centuries.” The announcement has already sparked speculation about its impact on other Democratic leaders. When asked whether current DNC Chairwoman O’Hare might seek a different leadership role, Guenther described her as a “one-of-a-kind leader” but deferred further questions about her intentions. The press conference also touched on the Democratic Party’s approach to engaging younger voters. Responding to a question about whether his leadership represents a step backward into old-guard politics, Guenther acknowledged the need to better involve younger generations. He promised a “generational change election” in 2028, likening the opportunity to the legacies of John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. Guenther also reflected on the mixed results of the recent election, in which Democrats retained the House while Republicans held the Senate. “We had a good cycle, especially considering how unfriendly the maps were,” he noted. However, he called for a renewed focus on grassroots coalition-building as the key to future success. Senator Guenther’s candidacy introduces new momentum into the Democratic Party as it seeks to navigate a politically divided Congress and prepare for the critical battles ahead. His bid for the DNC Chair promises to bring a mix of pragmatism and ambition to the role, with a clear focus on connecting with everyday Americans. -

Grand Theft Democracy ‘26: We’re Not in Kansas Anymore By Rondal Goldfarb Well another election has come and gone and little has changed in Washington. As predicted, Republicans retain control of the Senate, Democrats still control the House, and everything will be business as usual despite marginally smaller margins in both houses. Both parties still offer only big government prescriptions to things like energy and housing when it is the government itself that is the underlying sickness. VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 4:32 PM Everything going to plan is what I expect out of this election night. A lot of tight races that resolve to the mean for the most part by the end. At the end of the night it will still be a Republican Senate, a Democratic House and life will continue on as it has to the next most important election of our lifetime. Our predictions for the Senate were infallible, as usual, with places like Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Montana and Texas staying safely red after the Democrats did everything they could imagine to kneecap their own. Apologies to Matthew McConaughey for his career but no matter how old this gets, Matthew McConaughey jokes stay the same age. The DNC sending their flogged gimps out to campaign for Congressional seats after humiliating primary defeats as former Senator Tester did for Ryan Zinke and Governor Hochul for New York congressional seats that were inevitably lost was some next level cuckolding though. The Republican’s loss in Maine was to be expected after Strom Thurmond’s great grandfather, Senator John Hunt (R-ME), announced his retirement. And while Governor Sununu (R-NH) has his own flaws, Senator Shaheen and every other sycophant that supported seven pandemic bills, including the Pre-emptive Pandemonium and Cybersecurity Hysteria Act should be pilloried by voters. The exception to the rule, of course, is the midwest. Despite the DNC shafting Iowa out of its half-century tradition of picking the next President, Iowans somehow warmed to Democrats again. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Earl Duplantis (R-LA) woke up this morning, turned to his lapdog, RNC Chair Tom Worthen (R-SC), and whispered ‘Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ Governor Laura Kelly (D-KS) continued to defy historical odds in Kansas to defeat Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) for U.S. Senate in Kansas. Popular Governors rarely are able to translate that success into the Senate against the partisan undercurrents in their states (See also Baker in Mass) but something to note here is that the two-term Governor actually expanded her base, winning over 50% support statewide for the first time in her last three successful statewide elections. Senate Minority Leader Coleman (D-CO) attributed that win to the strength of Kelly as a candidate. VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 6:21 PM From Whats The Matter With Kansas to more populism equaling a Dem flip. Lots to unpack here. #MoreToCome Left wing hack Thomas Frank published a book two decades ago titled ‘What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America’ that is funny for both its humor and its attempt at political analysis. In it he describes how Republicans embracing populism helped realign the midwest solidly into their column for decades. The Republican party has grown increasingly more populist since then, as we have extensively covered, but on economic grounds. Perhaps the popularity of mob rule did not necessarily mean an endorsement of full bore socialism after all? The real story that began in Nebraska last cycle and manifested here is more likely the GOP’s long overdue shift away from social conservative populism. With Roe gone and no more scary gay agenda boogeymen, their racist uncles did not come home. Kansas is the New New Jersey. Meanwhile, the New Jersey effect is still going strong. While Speaker Jeffries kept his majority, it narrowed and New York State was ground zero for Democratic losses. Republicans flipped 3 congressional seats in New York alone, and the New York State Governor’s mansion for the first time since George Pataki (R-NY) left office in 2006. Former NFL player Marcus Grant (R-NY) was the only election where the hail mary on superstar power worked but in reality, the writing was on the wall. Of the four Democratic Governors since Pataki, all of them end in scandal or embarrassing defeat. If this election answers no other questions, at least we know two things to be quantitatively true: It takes two licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, and four straight scandalous Governors to change parties in New York State. Someone in Chicago right now is jealous at how long corrupt politicians can skate by unaffected in New York, I am sure. VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 6:15 PM Way to go CNN. Biggest call of the night and they screw it up. All in all, not a lot of unexpected results in 2026. What coulda, woulda, shoulda been a Democratic year demurred into politics as usual. And while results in Kansas and New York are certainly noteworthy, I would not call it a realignment just yet. The real story from last night is how the Corporate News Network continues to fail the American people by bungling one of the biggest calls of the night by showing the wrong vote totals. Keep up the fantastic work, kids! While you can continue to rely on the Mainstream Media for the latest in political advertisements, you know where you can continue to turn to for pulitzer-prize winning coverage and to: #ChooseFreedom @micgat@DMH@Abrams@camilodeso
