The White House is being accused of doctoring the arrest photo of a Minneapolis protester by using artificial intelligence to alter her face.

    Her primary problem was going for the left’s vote when the left doesn’t vote.

    The only way to fix it is to go further right and pick up the voters who are disillusioned by Trump in 2028.

      the left doesn’t vote

      Terrible news for the Mamdani campaign.

      The only way to fix it is to go further right

      Can’t wait for Pete Buttigieg to campaign on doubling the ICE budget.

        39% of NYC’s registered voters turned out to vote in the last mayor election and he got slightly more then fifty percent of the vote.

        I don’t think that’s the gotcha you’re going for.

          Voter Turnout Highest in Half Century as Mamdani Phenomenon Galvanizes Electorate

          Still waiting to hear about all those voters who stayed home because Sliwa wasn’t conservative enough.

        Pretty much apples-to-apples comparison. They’ve got you there SMCF. It’s an accepted maxim that national Presidential races are exactly the same as mayoral races in NYC.

              More than enough to win some of the biggest states in the country.

              But presumably without any leftist voters?

                I’m sure one or two of them put their beer bongs and hash pipes down long enough to vote.
