Tim Walz on Saturday delivered blunt advice to fellow Democrats in an address to party activists and officials: “We’ve got to find some goddamn guts to fight for working people,” Politico reports.

He added: “The party of the working class lost a big chunk of the working class. That last election was a primal scream on so many fronts.”

Of Republican control, he acknowledged: “Some of it is our own doing.”

“New York City’s mayoral race is operating under the shadow of a politician from Queens: Donald Trump,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“With less than a month to go until the Democratic primary on June 24, the Republican president’s name is on the lips of its candidates as much as any of the issues affecting the city.”

“Trump’s looming threat to cut federal funding to cities that don’t cooperate with immigration authorities has left candidates vying to convince voters they are the person who can handle the president.”

“Wes Moore made an early and urgent appeal Friday to one of the nation’s most important Democratic constituencies,” Politico reports.

“The first-term governor of Maryland said Democrats must adapt and change to counter President Donald Trump and improve life for the middle class if they have any hope of returning to power.”

Said Moore: “Gone are the days when we are the party of bureaucracy, multi-year studies, panels, and college debate club rules. We must be the party of action.”
