Sounds quite white.
Scoop: A new AARP poll shows that Corey O’Connor leads incumbent Ed Gainey 58%-24% among 50+ age voters in Pittsburgh’s upcoming mayoral primary. This is just a slice of the electorate, but made up 60% of voters in the 2021 Dem primary. www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

As Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs announcement tanks markets, remember: his billionaire supporters knew this was coming. They backed him anyway. They knowingly sacrificed our economic prosperity to protect their elaborate tax avoidance schemes and privileges—despite gaining 64.6% under Biden.

What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

“If we can’t beat them, cheat them”, or whatever Corey O’Connor’s campaign says when calling Trump’s MAGA friends for money.
Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey has stood up to Trump and Musk at every turn. He’s also one of the progressive mayors in the country. Republicans know they can’t beat him in November. So now MAGA Republicans are pouring money into a May Democratic primary challenge to Gainey.
Here’s the inside story:
