President Trump said that Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio running together in 2028 would be “unbeatable,” The Guardian reports. 

Said Trump: “I would think that JD and Marco as a team would be very hard to beat.”

He added: “It’s interesting, human thing, the human equation. So I watch them together, they get along great.”

“Democrats didn’t take many chances in critical November battlegrounds on Tuesday,” Politico reports.

“Voters played it safe in picking establishment-backed Josh Turek to take on GOP Rep. Ashley Hinson for an open Senate seat in Iowa and putting up moderate military veteran Rebecca Bennett against Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in one of the most competitive House districts in the country.”

“The results were more mixed in bluer territory. In Los Angeles, embattled Mayor Karen Bass advanced to a runoff early Wednesday morning. But in New Jersey, progressive Adam Hamawy, a U.S. Army veteran with a complicated personal history who has been sharply critical of Israel’s war in Gaza, emerged from a 12-candidate primary to succeed progressive retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman in a safe district.”

“It’s a split screen that shows Democrats are attempting to reconcile their desire for electability in tough races with the demands of a base that has shifted to the left on Israel and other key issues.”

“Republican voters in Iowa dealt a shock defeat to President Trump on Tuesday, narrowly rejecting his chosen candidate for governor in favor of another conservative contender who ran as a political outsider,” the New York Times reports.

“The primary loss for Representative Randy Feenstra, whom the president endorsed on Friday afternoon, came at a time of mixed signals of Mr. Trump’s power over the Republican Party. He has won a series of dominant primary victories over Republican opponents, but has faced rising pushback from his party in Congress.”

“Californians wrapped voting in their state’s primary elections Tuesday, but results for the messy gubernatorial and the Los Angeles mayor’s race could take a while to be finalized,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“A drawn-out count would be a fitting end to two unpredictable primaries that have featured scandals and unconventional candidates.”

New York Times: “California has been using the top-two primary system for 15 years, but it has never caused as much consternation as it did this election.”

“Democratic fears that two Republicans could sweep the governor’s race — in one of the nation’s bluest states — triggered a new effort to repeal the system this spring.”

CNN: “Many of the results from California will take a while to learn, given the state’s late poll-closing time and slow vote-counting.”
