Late congressman’s daughter wins Arizona primary as young progressive falls short
The daughter of late Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona has taken a big step toward succeeding her father in Congress.
Former Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva won the Democratic Party primary in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, according to The Associated Press.
The younger Grijalva convincingly topped four other candidates in the heavily blue district, which stretches from Tucson to Yuma and includes almost the entire length of the state’s southern border with Mexico.
She thanked her late father for showing her “that this is how you do this work” and said she “stands on the shoulders of giants.”
The 54-year-old Grijalva enjoyed the backing of some of the state’s top Democrats, including Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, state Attorney General Kris Mayes and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Grijalva was also supported by two top progressive champions, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who both backed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary.
Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old social media influencer and progressive activist who was hoping to follow in Mamdani’s footsteps by pulling off a stunning, come-from-behind victory in a high-profile Democratic Party congressional primary, came up short.
DAVID HOGG-BACKED CANDIDATE EYES UPSET IN KEY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY
Foxx, who went viral as a teenager for confronting then-Republican Sen. Jeff Flake over the issue of reproductive rights, enjoyed the support of gun-control crusader David Hogg, who recently stepped down from his position as a Democratic National Committee vice chair after upsetting party leaders with his efforts backing primary challenges against what he called “asleep at the wheel” older, longtime incumbents in safe, blue districts.
Hogg, who campaigned with Foxx over the weekend across the district, predicted she would “make history in Southwest Arizona.”
And Hogg compared Foxx’s surging poll numbers in the final days of the primary campaign to that of Mamdani, the 33-year-old Ugandan-born state lawmaker who topped former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates last month to win the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City.
Foxx, speaking to supporters before the race was called, said “we have built in 100 days something that rivals what others have built over decades. We have built in 100 days the kind of enthusiasm and excitement that this party and this moment demands. We have built in 100 days something that people can get hopeful about in one of our country’s darkest moments.”
But Grijalva, in her victory speech, emphasized that “this campaign was about talking about the importance of giving voice to this community. It was not about an individual. It was not about social media likes.”
Similar to the New York City mayoral primary, the contest in southern Arizona has been viewed by many political pundits as a barometer of where the Democratic Party is headed as it deals with longstanding divisions between its establishment and outsider and progressive and moderate wings, as well as generational divides.
Former state Rep. Daniel Hernandez was also contending for the nomination. He’s well known in Arizona for helping to save the life of former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords during a 2011 shooting in Tucson, when he was serving as an intern to the congresswoman.
Indigenous activist and scholar Jose Malvido Jr. and former healthcare executive Patrick Harris Sr. were also running for the Democratic nomination in the majority-Hispanic district where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a nearly two-to-one margin.

More than $2 million was dished out to run ads in the Democratic primary, with some of the money coming from outside groups.
Adelita Grijalva will now be considered the frontrunner in the Sept. 23 special election over GOP nominee Daniel Butierez, in the race to serve the final 15 months of the elder Grijalva’s term. He died in March from complications related to cancer treatment.
Gavin Newsom drops F-bomb after he’s surprised by Joe Rogan question on podcast
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom was pressed to defend his COVID-19 record by podcast giant Joe Rogan on Monday.
The Democratic leader, and likely 2028 presidential candidate, appeared on former U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan’s podcast for a wide-ranging interview about problems facing California as well as Newsom’s personal life and political career.
During the interview, Ryan asked Newsom to respond to a question sent in to him by his friend and fellow podcaster.
“Motherf—–r,” Newsom exclaimed before saying he was a fan of Rogan, who has been critical of the Democrat.
Ryan warned Newsom it was a “tough” question before reading it aloud: “Who will be held accountable for mandating COVID-19 vaccines for children, which were unnecessary and ineffective, and who will take responsibility for the unprecedented increases in myocarditis and cancer cases among them?”
ROGAN MOCKS ‘MY FAVORITE PODCASTER’ GAVIN NEWSOM AS DEMOCRATS ATTEMPT TO RECAPTURE PODCASTING
“Second to that, do you feel any remorse for that draconian decision that was obviously heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical companies’ desire for maximum profit?”
Newsom denied that he caved to the pharmaceutical industry, saying he’s passed “some of the most progressive laws” against Big Pharma in the nation.
He also defended his record on the pandemic, arguing California worked closely with the Trump administration and moved aggressively to mitigate damage from the virus, “like many states, red states included.”
“I mean, Florida shut down their bars and restaurants before California. The question was, when did we start to unwind some of those restrictions? California was more restrictive and we were certainly aggressive at scale,” he said.
The governor claimed his team was compiling an “objective review” of the good and bad outcomes of these policies and comparing them to what other states did.
Regarding vaccines, Newsom declared they “save lives” but that he respected Rogan’s question. He explained that he received “a lot of feedback” from independent advisors regarding their safety.
“I took their advice, not as a doctor, but as a governor. So, with humility —seriously —humility and grace, I’ve asked them to have that report done. It’s going to be done next month. And it’ll be the only state that I know of that is putting out a truly objective review of what went right and what went wrong,” he added.
SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRAT SAYS NEWSOM MUST EXPLAIN ‘MANY FAILURES IN CALIFORNIA’ BEFORE PRESIDENTIAL RUN
“I know everyone’s a Godd— genius now in hindsight,” Newsom declared. “But at the time, none of us knew what we were up against, including the President of the United States, who I worked very closely with.”
Newsom appeared to shift some of the scrutiny of his leadership onto President Donald Trump, claiming he worked closer with Trump than any other Democratic governor during the pandemic.
“And I say that with the kind of humility he deserves as well —grace that he deserves in terms of the decisions he made early on. We were all up against something none of us had any experience on,” he said.
When asked if he had made any mistakes during the pandemic, Newsom named the closures of outdoor spaces like beaches as something he would’ve done differently.

The governor went on to argue that California had unfairly become a symbol of failed pandemic policies when states like Florida had taken similar actions during the pandemic early on.
“We weren’t the only state doing it, but the state of mind of the ‘California Derangement Syndrome.’ There’s a ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ no question. But there’s also ‘California Derangement Syndrome.’ As if California stands unique in some of these interventions and respects. It’s true in some but not all,” he said.

Senate Republicans advance $9B spending cut bill despite Democratic opposition
Senate Republicans again coalesced behind President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar spending clawback package and propelled the legislation through its final procedural hurdle, again with the aid of Vice President JD Vance.
Lawmakers will now go back and forth through 10 hours of debate on the bill, where Senate Democrats are expected to bleed time and slam the legislation for its cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting funding.
SENATE GOP AGREE TO STRIP CUTS TO HIV, AIDS PREVENTION PROGRAM FROM TRUMP’S CLAWBACK BILL
Trump’s smaller, $9 billion package passed with nearly all Senate Republicans, while all Senate Democrats voted against it. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were the only Republicans to vote against the bill.
Once debate has wrapped up on the bill, lawmakers will go through another vote-a-rama, where an unlimited number of amendments can be offered for the bill by either side of the aisle. Democrats will likely try to sideline or derail the package, while the GOP is expected to offer an amendment that would spare about $400 million in international HIV and AIDS funding from the chopping block.
SENATE GOP BRACES FOR TEST VOTE ON TRUMP’S $9.4B CLAWBACK PACKAGE
The carveout for the Bush-era President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) was agreed to ahead of the vote and is backed by the White House. Trimming funding from the program rattled some Senate Republicans, who publicly and privately warned they may not support the bill unless a fix was found.
However, slashing the funding cut from the package could prove a tricky sell to the House, where Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has called on Senate Republicans to not change the bill.
‘GUT CHECK TIME’: DISSENT AMONG SENATE GOP RANKS THREATENS TO REDUCE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUT DEMAND
He’s been joined by fiscal hawks in the House Freedom Caucus, too, who have demanded that the Senate GOP stay the course on the rescissions package and warned that they would have serious issues if changes were made, stopping short of declaring a full-on rebellion against the bill.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., hoped that his colleagues in the lower chamber would play ball and pass the bill ahead of a looming Friday deadline.
“There was a lot of interest among our members in doing something on the PEPFAR issue,” he said ahead of the vote. “So, that’s reflected in the substitute, and we hope that if we can get this across the finish line in the Senate that the House will accept that one small modification.”
Doctor accused of murdering wife confronts courtroom allegations of serial cheating
As prosecutors attempted to paint a Colorado dentist as a calculated killer who poisoned his wife to pursue a new romantic life, the defense took a dramatically different route by portraying his wife of 23 years as emotionally manipulative and mentally unstable.
Dr. James Toliver Craig, 47, is charged with first-degree murder in the March 2023 death of his wife, Angela Craig, a 43-year-old mother of six. Her cause of death was determined to be lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline.
In opening statements Tuesday in Colorado, defense attorney Ashley Whitham acknowledged the couple’s rocky 23-year marriage but described Angela not as a victim of betrayal, but as someone who was emotionally broken, deeply private and at times manipulative.
“You’re going to hear her own daughter describe her that she was also manipulating words,” Whitham revealed to jurors Tuesday. “Again, that if she wanted to try to get something, she would be manipulative.”
COLORADO DENTIST’S ALLEGED INTERNET SEARCH HISTORY TAKES CENTER STAGE AS MURDER TRIAL BEGINS
The Colorado couple’s marital strife was laid bare in Tuesday’s opening remarks. Prosecutors pointed to his relationship with a Texas orthodontist, Dr. Karin Cain, as the motivation for the murder. Cain has not returned Fox News Digital’s requests for comment. The defense said the 47-year-old husband had extramarital affairs throughout the couple’s marriage.
“Karin Cain was just like the others. This wasn’t some new obsession,” Whitham said.
Along with a series of affairs, Craig also allegedly used the website Seeking.com, advertising himself as “Jim and Waffles” and claiming a net worth of $10 million in search of “sugar babies.”
Whitham described Angela as an “extremely private” stay-at-home mom of six who, due to her deeply held Mormon faith, was reluctant to share the couple’s marital issues. She claimed Angela was isolated and someone who was “not about to tell people about her marital struggles” and who was “broken.”
Defense attorney Kelly Hyman delved into the dueling strategies as the high-stakes murder trial kicks off. She noted that the defense’s strategy to cast Angela as manipulative and unstable plays into their aims to create reasonable doubt and reframe the context.
“By doing so, the defendant implies that [he] wasn’t responsible,” she explained to Fox News Digital. “That could go to the heaty of the defense that Angela killed herself and that it was suicide.”
While prosecutors argued Tuesday that Craig’s alleged Google searches, chemical orders and romantic messages to his alleged mistress amount to premeditation, Hyman warned that speculative interpretation of digital evidence isn’t always a slam dunk.
“A way to do this is to challenge admissibility and the reliability of the digital evidence. This can be done on cross-examination or through a defense witness to counter the digital forensic and timeline reconstruction,” she said.
The defense argued Tuesday that investigators operated with “tunnel vision” and failed to investigate other leads. The defense said Angela’s personal laptop was never seized or searched despite prosecutors showing images of her using it from her hospital bed to research symptoms.
SMALL-TOWN DENTIST FACING TRIAL FOR ALLEGEDLY POISONING WIFE’S PROTEIN SHAKE AMID SECRET AFFAIR
“The defense could argue that the unexamined laptop may contain information supporting an alternative theory of events or potentially pointing to another person and/or a different timeline,” Hyman said. “This omission may suggest an incomplete and/or biased investigation.”
Hyman also noted that the absence of direct physical evidence, such as cyanide residue on containers or packaging, could work to the defense’s advantage.
“The absence of direct physical evidence like poison residue on the protein shake containers or the victim’s body presents a key argument for the defense to use,” she said.

Investigators alleged in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital that, in the weeks before his wife’s hospitalization and death, Craig used a dental office computer to search for “undetectable poisons” and how to obtain them, later purchasing arsenic and cyanide by mail, “how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human” and “is arsenic detectable in an autopsy?”
Alongside these online searches, investigators alleged Craig made YouTube queries such as “how to make poison” and “Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play.”

Big box stores caught ‘fleecing’ Americans while falsely blaming Trump’s tariffs
In recent weeks, headlines have been filled with warnings from major retailers about impending price hikes due to tariffs reinstated by President Donald Trump. Big Box stores like Walmart and Target have been quick to suggest that tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, have left them with no choice but to raise prices for American families.
Let’s be clear, these decisions are more about raising profit margins and going against Trump’s agenda to bring costs down for Americans than responding to any actual economic pressure.
Tariffs are a strategic tool. The Trump administration has always been clear about that. Tariffs are designed to level the playing field, incentivize domestic production, counter predatory trade practices – especially from the Chinese Communist Party – and put America First. Tariffs protect long-term American interests, especially in vital industries like technology and manufacturing.
TARIFF CASE PITS CATO INSTITUTE AGAINST TRUMP OVER ‘UNLIMITED’ EXECUTIVE POWER UNDER EMERGENCY LAW
Yet, many corporations are using tariffs as a convenient scapegoat to raise prices across the board, even on products not impacted by new trade policies. A recent Federal Reserve report found that retailers have increased prices on non-tariffed items, falsely implying that across-the-board cost pressures are tariff-driven. This is not only wrong, it’s exploitative.
We all know many of these large retailers are sitting on comfortable, even expanded, profit margins because of the price hikes from COVID-19 that never came down. But it’s not enough for them. They want to fleece the American consumer and blame it on President Trump’s America First agenda.
Former Walmart CEO Bill Simon acknowledged Walmart’s capability to eat the costs of these tariffs rather than throwing the burden to the consumer: “[T]his quarter they grew their gross profit margin in the US business 25 basis points … All that product that has the tariffs on it, they reported last quarter actually went down in price. That sort of gives them room in my view to manage any tariff impact that they would have.”
WHITE HOUSE DENIES TARIFFS PROMPTING INFLATION AS TRUMP PUSHES FOR TRADE DEALS
Despite Simon’s admission, Walmart has already issued price hikes under the guise of tariff costs.
What we’re witnessing is a pattern of deflection. Rather than own up to their pricing strategies, many businesses are choosing to shift the blame onto the Trump administration’s economic policy. This tactic is not only dishonest, it’s harmful to public discourse. It creates the false impression that Trump administration policies are causing this, when in reality, many of these pricing decisions are being driven by corporate boards more concerned with shareholder satisfaction than consumer welfare.
Let’s be honest: these companies are not victims of President Trump’s trade policy. They are powerful corporations who get to thrive in a free-market economy that the U.S. provides for them. But they’re exploiting it. If they wanted to protect their customers from modest cost increases, they could. Instead, they’re choosing to use tariffs, often on a small subset of goods, as an excuse to raise prices on a much larger range of products.
TRUMP THREATENS 35% TARIFF ON CANADIAN GOODS OVER DANGEROUS CROSS-BORDER FENTANYL DISPUTE
The other fact the retailers consistently ignore is their role in why we need the tariffs to begin with. Major retailers have profited from the shift to outsourcing to China in recent decades. They should now bear the burden of the environment they helped create, and Americans agree.

The Protecting America Initiative, a conservative organization I work with that focuses on combating the threat of the CCP, recently polled general election voters and found that a majority of Americans are concerned that our nation’s largest retailers are using tariffs as an excuse to hike prices.
Yet, many corporations are using tariffs as a convenient scapegoat to raise prices across the board, even on products not impacted by new trade policies.
Fifty-two percent of Americans also agree with Trump when he says retailers should bear the burden of any cost increases associated with the tariffs. Our data also shows that consumers want both government officials at the federal and state levels to implement accountability measures to stop retailers from artificially hiking prices.

The Trump administration is working hard to get costs down for American consumers and undo the economic mess that the autopen in Biden’s White House left us with. By turning tariffs into a political talking point, some corporations are playing directly into the hands of our enemies, like China, which doesn’t mind if American companies use tariffs as a scapegoat because it distracts from their unfair trade practices and puts pressure on the U.S. to back down.

The Trump administration has never hidden the rationale for its tariff strategy. It’s about America FIRST, national strength and economic independence. This is not a radical position, it’s – as President Trump says – common sense. And it’s supported by millions of Americans who understand that supporting “Made in America” manufacturing is vital for the future of our country.
Retailers should stop hiding behind tariffs and start being honest with consumers. If you’re raising prices, say so. But don’t pretend you’re being forced to act by government policy when the numbers say otherwise. Support a made-in-America future instead of working against it.

PGA Tour will reportedly return to Trump-owned staple after decade-long hiatus
The PGA Tour is set to return to one of its old homes.
According to Sports Business Journal, Trump Doral in Miami will host a PGA event for the first time since 2016 next year.
The outlet reports that the event will take place from April 27 to May 3, potentially as a signature event.

The new event would take place in between the Zurich Classic in New Orleans and the Truist Championship, which would force the CJ Cup Byron Nelson to be pushed back later in the calendar, right after the PGA Championship.
The Charles Schwab Challenge, which normally succeeds the PGA Championship, will then follow the Byron Nelson.
Trump Doral hosted tournaments each year from 1962 to 2016. The WGC-Cadillac Championship was played there from 2007 to 2016 before moving to Mexico City. The tournament’s final year was 2021.
Adam Scott was the last PGA Tour winner at Trump Doral back in 2016.

Surprising substance shown to extend lifespan and overall wellness in new study
A new study suggests that psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, could extend lifespan.
Researchers at the Emory University Department of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, discovered that psilocybin extended cellular lifespan and improved survival in aged mice.
Psilocybin is the “naturally occurring psychedelic compound produced by hallucinogenic mushrooms,” as defined in the study.
SINGLE DOSE OF ‘MAGIC MUSHROOMS’ PROVIDES 5 YEARS OF DEPRESSION RELIEF, RESEARCHERS FIND
Psilocybin has recently received attention due to “considerable clinical evidence” for its potential in treating various psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions, the researchers noted.
The study, published in the journal Nature, uncovered the first experimental evidence that treatment with psilocin – the “active metabolite” in psilocybin – increases longevity in aged mice.
This suggests that psilocybin may be a “potent geroprotective agent,” the researchers wrote.
Co-author Louise Hecker of Emory University said the data suggests psilocybin impacts “multiple hallmarks of aging.”
This includes reducing oxidative stress levels and preventing DNA damage, also known as preserving “telomere length.” (Telomere are DNA-protein structures on the ends of chromosomes, which help to prevent cellular damage.)
PARKINSON’S PATIENTS WHO TAKE ‘MAGIC MUSHROOMS’ SEE KEY BENEFITS, STUDY FINDS
“Psilocybin appears to slow the ‘wear and tear’ that accompanies aging,” Hecker said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “Mice and cells are healthier and live significantly longer.”
The treatment led to “a dramatic impact on cellular life extensions” and increased the survival of mice, even when administered later in life, the researcher noted.
The mice also appeared healthier, growing back black hair that was once white.
“Most of what we know about psilocybin is clinical outcomes and what it does in the brain,” Hecker commented. “These studies shed light on the fact that psilocybin has potent impacts on the entire body.”
More research needed
As these are the first studies showing the impact of psilocybin on aging, Hecker noted that there is still “much more to learn” about the drug’s potential.
“What are the optimal dosing protocols for humans? What is the optimal age for treatment initiation for optimal benefits?” Hecker questioned.
“Psilocybin appears to slow the ‘wear and tear’ that accompanies aging.”
“Is there an age, beyond which point, when treatment does not provide efficacy? Are there potential harms or adverse effects associated with long-term treatment? What are the mechanisms of its action? All these questions need to be rigorously tested.”
Additional studies are needed to answer these questions and confirm whether treatment impacts lifespan, Hecker noted.

Gabe Charambides, founder of Odyssey – America’s first legal psilocybin retreat, located in Oregon – said he considers these findings “compelling.”
“While most human psilocybin trials have focused on mental health outcomes — depression, anxiety, PTSD — this work highlights physiological shifts, including markers of cellular aging,” he said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
While Charambides’ retreat doesn’t test for any biological changes, he said that many guests report relief from physical ailments like chronic pain and migraines.
“Those self-reports suggest the mind–body effects the study hints at may translate to humans as well,” he told Fox News Digital.

Administration of psilocybin should differ “sharply” from mice to humans in terms of screening, preparation and safeguards, Charambides noted.
Individuals who benefit the most from psilocybin therapy include those who “feel stuck” after significant life events – like childhood trauma, divorce, career upheaval or bereavement – or people who aim to improve their mental health, he added.
Potential risks
Ryan Moss, chief science officer at Filament Health, a clinical-stage natural psychedelic drug development company in Canada, has emphasized the importance of administering psychedelics in a safe setting.
“Psychedelic experiences can sometimes feature anxiety, hallucinations and paranoia,” Moss previously told Fox News Digital. “Some patients using traditional psychedelics have reported experiencing adverse cardiovascular events during clinical trials.”
To mitigate these risks, Moss recommended that clinical trial participants receive thorough preparation and monitoring by trained professionals during sessions.
Clark confronts official before leaving in tears: ‘Are you f—ing kidding me?’
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark needed to be held back during a heated confrontation with WNBA official Mike Price during the team’s game Tuesday night against the Connecticut Sun.
The incident occurred with 4:33 left in the third quarter as officials went to look at whether the Sun or Fever had knocked the ball out of bounds following a missed shot. Clark was seen jawing at Price as she was going back to the bench.

“Are you f—-ing kidding me?” she appeared to say as Fever assistant Briann January dragged her back to the bench.
As officials continued to look at the replay, the ESPN broadcast showed Clark yelling over toward the officials again.
“That’s just rude. Grow up,” she said. “Come here, come here. Unbelievable.”
Price seemed undeterred by Clark’s comments. The Fever superstar somehow managed to avoid receiving a technical foul.
Clark’s struggles from the floor have been noted as she continued to work her way back from a groin injury. She came into the contest 1-for-28 from 3-point range on the road and wrapped the team’s win over the Sun 1-for-7 from 3-point range and 4-for-14 overall.

‘The View’ co-hosts fire back at Obama: ‘Pointing the finger at the wrong person’
“The View” co-hosts clapped back at former President Obama and Mark Cuban’s recent criticisms of the Democratic Party on Tuesday, arguing that the voters have been doing the work and elected officials were to blame.
“So, let me remind everybody who is out in the front lines marching when we had the giant marches that went on, it was the people, the people went out,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “They were not navel-gazing, it was older people saying, ‘why are you touching my Social Security?’ It was not people whining. It was about people saying, ‘why are you taking these rights from my child when my child was born here?’ This has not been about Democrats laying back. This has been about y’all, because their messaging was always the same.”
Goldberg was referring in part to Obama, who urged Democrats to “toughen up” on Friday at a political fundraiser, and said success would require a “little less navel-gazing.”
“And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said. “Don’t tell me you’re a Democrat, but you’re kind of disappointed right now, so you’re not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something.”
‘THE VIEW’ HOST ANA NAVARRO PLEADS FOR OBAMA TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST TRUMP’S ‘AMERICAN NIGHTMARE’
“Democrats have been angry at what this man tried to do the last time. They’ve been angry this time. So, I, with much due respect to you both, I believe you are pointing the finger at the wrong person when you say Democrats,” Goldberg said.
Co-host Sara Haines confirmed that Goldberg was differentiating between voters and elected officials and said she agreed.
“Voters are very impassioned,” Haines said.
Goldberg continued, “When you say Democrats, he’s talking to us, saying our messaging is bad, and I’m saying, no, our messaging has not been bad because people have been out.”
Cuban also said during a recent podcast interview that the party’s “Trump sucks” message was not the way to win.
‘VIEW’ CO-HOST TELLS OTHERS TRUMP IS IN POWER ‘BECAUSE YOU GUYS SCREWED THIS UP’ IN CLASH OVER BIDEN COVER-UP
“We picked the wrong pressure points,” Cuban said on “Pod Save America” on Sunday. “It’s just ‘Trump sucks.’ That’s the underlying thought of everything the Democrats do. ‘Trump sucks.’ Trump says the sky is blue. ‘Trump sucks.’ That’s not the way to win! It’s just not! Because it’s not about Trump — it’s about the people of the United States of America — and what’s good for them!”
Co-host Ana Navarro addressed Cuban’s remarks directly and said, “Yeah, OK, so some of us say Donald Trump sucks. He does suck, and it feels good to say it!”
Navarro also said people weren’t waiting for a savior for the Democrats, as Obama suggested during his Friday remarks.
“Stop looking for the quick fix,” Obama said. “Stop looking for the messiah. You have great candidates running races right now. Support those candidates.”

Haines said that she interpreted Obama and Cuban as referring to elected Democrats and added that she agreed, before calling out the party for not offering a plan for immigration.
“It would be a ripe time for some elected Democrat to come forward with a secondary plan that isn’t just ‘march against ICE agents in sanctuary cities.’ People want commonsense solutions and no Democrat is coming out and saying, ‘This a decades-old problem. It crosses all administrations, but here’s what I’m proposing.’ I’ve heard none of that,” Haines said.
