Former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum criticized Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's campaign strategy, saying the Democrat appears more focused on winning over white and Latino voters than driving turnout among black voters.

Billionaire George Soros is heading toward breaking his own record in campaign donations after already spending nearly $103 million in the midterm elections.
Soros was the largest single donor in the midterms four years ago when he spent $128 million, according to a review of Federal Election Commission records.
'The Soros family is angrier than ever at American politics. ... They would prefer to remake America into something entirely different.'
The 95-year-old has made less than $1 million of donations in his own name, while the vast majority of his donations were funneled through the Democracy Political Action Committee he launched in 2020.
"Money talks, and Soros money says the most insidious, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table,” said Douglas Kellogg of the Americans for Tax Reform organization.
He went on to describe him as the "wannabe Bond villain" who is responsible for the left-wing takeover of the Democratic Party.
Capital Research Center investigative researcher Parker Thayer told the New York Post that George Soros has begun the process of transferring his power to his eldest son, Alexander Soros.
"He wants to be more political than his dad. This is the first midterm cycle where he is in control," Thayer said of the younger Soros.
"George is not in control; he hasn’t been in control in some time," he added.
Both Soroses have backed the controversial Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner, as well as Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
"The Soros family is angrier than ever at American politics," Thayer said. "They would prefer to remake America into something entirely different."

While Trump has mocked the Democrats for not fighting the communist takeover of the party, a group of Democratic lawmakers has begun to organize a pushback against extremist ideologies.
"We're for capitalism, not socialism. We're for safety, not lawlessness," Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York said about the effort. "We're proud of America, not ashamed of America — and we need to be promoting those things."

Last week, Louisiana church pastor Tony Spell, 48, was arrested and charged with battery after video captured him beating up a 20-year-old male neighbor he claims threatened to rape and kill his family.
According to reports, Spell claims he was working on a church bus when he heard his neighbor’s son yell, “Tony, I’m gonna rape your wife. I’m gonna rape all of your grandchildren. ... The next time you go out of town, I’m gonna kill them, and what the F are you going to do about it?”
Spell defended his actions, calling himself the “natural protector” of his family, and claimed that the victim’s family had been harassing and intimidating them as well as church attendees for years — an allegation they denied.
The video of the fight has gone viral, sparking widespread debates over self-defense and pastoral conduct.
On a recent episode of “The Rick Burgess Show,” BlazeTV host and men’s ministry leader Rick Burgess dove into the incident.
“Solomon told us there’s a time for everything — and sometimes there is a time to fight,” Rick says.
This incident, he argues, seems to be one of those times.
“People can say bad things about you and say they don't like you and all that, and we certainly try to stay out of anything violent, but when it comes to the point when people begin to threaten your family and begin to threaten their very lives ... there is a time when this is necessary,” Rick says.
“I shouldn’t love this as much as I do,” he confesses, watching the footage of Spell battering his neighbor.
Rick especially loves the sermon Spell delivered from the pulpit immediately after his release.
That evening, Spell famously told his congregation he “fulfilled the Scripture” by laying “hands on the sick.”
“That was fantastic,” Rick laughs.
The panel agrees that Spell was in the right to defend his family and congregation.
“We love it,” Rick says.

The Supreme Court said in a partisan decision Monday that the president had expansive authority to fire government agency employees.
The ruling overturns a 1935 decision in which the highest court in the land found that Congress could shield government workers from being fired by the president unless it was for cause.
'Such a Monumental Ruling at such an important time!'
The six conservatives on the court ruled in favor, while the three liberals dissented.
"Although it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the President would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority ruling.
"Subordinates who exercise the President's power are subject to removal by him," he added. "Then, and only then, can they remain accountable to the President, and the President to the people."
The president praised the ruling for expanding his power in numerous posts on the Truth Social platform.
"Today's Historic Slaughter Decision by the Supreme Court is the Greatest Increase in Presidential Power in the last 100 years. Such a Monumental Ruling at such an important time!" the president posted on Truth Social.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"Put simply, today the majority reshapes our Government," Sotomayor wrote.
"Dozens of independent commissions are now likely to become purely executive agencies, shifting tremendous power over broad swaths of American life into the President's hands," she added.
The case was first filed by Rebecca Slaughter, who was appointed by Trump to the Federal Trade Commission in his first term. He sought to dismiss her in his second term without cause, and she sued on the basis of the 1935 precedent set during the New Deal era.
