Seine Gegner haben ihn abgeschrieben â doch Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon gibt nicht auf
(June 29, 2026)
»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen â hier ist Ihr Kandidat fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon!,« schallte es ĂŒber die StraĂen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken MĂ©lenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.
Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die MĂ©lenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Gavin Newsom gambles on Joe Biden in hunt for 2028 presidential nominationâ but still has to clear the Kamala Harris hurdle
(June 23, 2026)
While other Democrats are distancing themselves from Bidenâs failed reelection bid and the political wreckage that followed, Californiaâs governor is leaning in. Newsom has praised Bidenâs presidency, defended his record, and positioned himself as one of the partyâs most visible Biden loyalists.
He has called the Biden presidency a âmasterclass of policymaking.â He has said he will never turn his back on Biden. And last week, he went further.
He hosted Hunter Biden on his podcast.
That matters.

Mamdani slate sweeps Democratic primaries in New York, ousts 2 incumbents from Congress
U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is in his fifth term, was defeated by Mamdaniâs most polarizing pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organize pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was beaten by the Mamdani-backed former city Comptroller Brad Lander, a fixture among New York progressives who has often shown sympathy to the democratic socialist movement. And another Mamdani ally, democratic socialist state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, defeated the handpicked successor of retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez.

In a rally with Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., that drew thousands to a Brooklyn theater, the emboldened mayor delivered a fiery message to Democratic leaders in Washington â and even those considering 2028 presidential bids â as he worked to elevate a slate of likeminded candidates in Tuesdayâs New York primaries.

Many Dems are stuck: Becerra, Steyer or someone else? Hereâs what to know
(May 24, 2026)
Meanwhile, others not enamored by either candidate might fear throwing away their vote by backing one of the lower-polling Democrats. If I vote with my heart for a lower-polling candidate, the thinking goes, will that risk sending one or two Republicans to the general election?
Tom Steyer for Governor of California
Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.
This is also about winning.
In a high-stakes race where Republicans could take the top spot, consolidating behind a candidate who is both values-aligned and building momentum is essential. Our organizers on the ground in California are seeing real energy around Steyer for Governor â and that grassroots engagement helped drive this decision.

In the coming months, it will mobilize its more than one million Californian members to organize and volunteer in support of Steyerâs candidacy.
In California, Vote Against the Forces Destroying Democracy
It is painful that the one person who has spent the past decades aggressively supporting democracy, fighting for immigrant rights, fighting the tendency toward oligarchy in our politics, and challenging the fossil fuel industry is himself a billionaire. But the facts are that Tom Steyer will not veto the billionaireâs tax, has pledged to support closing the Waterâs Edge Tax loophole, and has pledged to not take fossil fuel money.
