Golden’s GOP endorsement sparks Democratic backlash in Lawler race

Retiring Rep. Jared Golden endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Lawler for reelection, drawing sharp anger from House Democrats who doubt the move will sway voters in a district that backed Harris in 2024. The endorsement could complicate Golden’s ally Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, while Democrats plan substantial additional spending in Lawler’s race through a main PAC, highlighting ongoing tensions over bipartisanship in a closely watched contest.

Begich exits race, endorses Kreiss-Tomkins in Alaska governor contest

Democratic former state lawmaker Tom Begich is withdrawing from Alaska’s open governor’s race and endorsing Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, arguing that having a single Democrat on the November ballot improves the chances of winning. Begich, who placed second in the primary with 20.8% to Kreiss-Tomkins’s 22.5%, says consolidating Democratic support and avoiding fundraising competition will boost victory odds. He notes shared priorities with Kreiss-Tomkins—improving education, lowering the cost of living, and raising state revenue to fund services. With Begich out, Kreiss-Tomkins is positioned to consolidate Democratic support on the ballot; the top four finishers advance, and Republicans Bernadette Wilson and Dave Bronson are set to appear, while Treg Taylor’s candidacy may be invalidated over a missing financial disclosure. Monday is the final day to drop out.

Sanders withholds endorsement in Wisconsin gubernatorial bid

Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Pod Save America that he doesn’t expect to endorse Francesca Hong, the Democratic Socialist of America member running for Wisconsin governor, explaining he’s not that familiar with the race and has been focused on the Senate. He noted he hasn’t been involved in many governors’ races beyond Maine, where he endorsed Troy Jackson. The remark drew social-media mockery and commentary about his past endorsements; Hong’s campaign remains competitive in the primary and is expected to advance to a November race against Republican David Tiffany.
