In Maine, Graham Platner easily won the Democratic Senate primary despite him having a tattoo on his chest resembling a Nazi symbol. In New York\u2019s 13th Congressional District, voters nominated a Democrat who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityandstateny.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/avila-chevalier-attended-oct-8-pro-palestinian-rally-lander-condemned\/413981\/\">attended a rally<\/a> the day after Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel where attendees reportedly condoned the massacre.

This would be bad enough if Musk were merely the world\u2019s richest man. But he\u2019s also one of the Republican Party\u2019s most important donors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-super-pac-midterm-spending\/\">This week, he dropped $800,000 in campaign spending<\/a> on behalf of GOP candidates in Texas and Maine, and he reportedly has authorized his super PAC to spend $100 million in the final months of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-rkv-video\" data-wp-interactive=\"msnbcVideo\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;post&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:1256753,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.ms.now\/morning-joe\/watch\/jews-are-starting-to-hide-in-this-country-rep-moskowitz-2500460099692&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/vs-newsencoding.akamaized.net\/out\/v1\/d4e444bbf47b481eaff42e470afec8eb\/230e6fb6ff3a42dfa360a5fce4693a16\/42013efaf95c468db858bdb9cd46ce3d\/index.m3u8&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;jews-are-starting-to-hide-in-this-country-rep-moskowitz-2500460099692&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;u2018Jews are starting to hide in this countryu2019: Rep.
