Williams, Nelson and Fain are considered among the most progressive labor leaders in the country.
Mamdani has amassed substantial political capital after his stunning upset over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year, which thrust him and his controversial leftist agenda onto the national stage.
He is now widely viewed as the “kingmaker” for the progressive branch of the Democratic party and has already shown a willingness to wield that power.

Sign the pledge
I am ready to support an AOC campaign for President of the United States, and I encourage her to run. I commit myself to:
I commit myself to:
– Vote for AOC in a Presidential election
– Volunteer for an AOC campaign for President, including canvassing and phone banking
– Talk to the people in my life about why I want AOC to run for President, and ask them to sign this pledge
“The goal is to build the infrastructure of a grassroots movement in the case that she decides to run, but also to demonstrate to her that, ‘Look, there is a movement behind you ready to power you to victory should you choose to run for president,’” Ravi Sahai, a spokesperson for the group, told The New York Times.
Ready for AOC has already recruited more than 500 local political leaders and labor organizers in 35 states to begin gathering signatures.
Ocasio-Cortez has said she would consider whether to run for president or Senate, if she will launch a bid for another public office at all, after the midterm elections.

The position of the Joint List
These are times that call for a stand to oust Netanyahu and his fascist allies. Therefore, despite the incitement and the racism, the Joint List recommended Eisenkot to the Israeli president for the latter do not have any excuse of calling for a unity government, and as a fulfillment of the will of over 500,000 Arab Palestinian and Jewish voters who wish to see Netanyahu ousted.
According to CPI and Hadash, toppling this government is a historic task. The danger posed by the Netanyahu-Ben-Gvir-Smotrich government goes beyond discrimination, home demolitions and the spread of crime and racism afflicting our communities. It is a government of war, extermination and displacement in Gaza, of deepening occupation and settlement, of unchecked settler terror in the West Bank, and of a drive to liquidate the Palestinian cause. Its continuation threatens the whole region, and the presence of President Trump in the White House raises the danger further by offering cover for war, annexation and displacement. Hence, the results of the midterm elections in the US could hold positive prospectives regarding an alternation in US foreign policy especially in matters of supporting Israel’s continuous violations of international law in the Palestinian Occupied Territories and the region.

Herzog held marathon talks with elected factions on Wednesday and Thursday, during which 67 of parliament‘s 120 elected lawmakers endorsed Eisenkot, while 46 endorsed Netanyahu.
In televised remarks at the end of the talks, Herzog said that while the „results of the consultations may appear clear“, there were „mutual vetoes between the blocs and within the blocs themselves“ that make it difficult to say who has the best shot to form a government.
Gadi Eisenkot was chosen by the leaders of six parties, representing a majority of seats in the Knesset, as the most legitimate candidate to form a new government. President Isaac Herzog is expected to announce his decision on Sunday.

The statement reads: “We will not give up on a shared future: For equality, peace, and democracy, we will vote for the Joint List. We, academics, express our support for the Joint List and the principles it represents: full equality between Jews and Palestinians; recognition of Palestinians’ civil and national rights; an end to the occupation and the pursuit of a just peace; the struggle against racism and discrimination; and free and equal political representation for all citizens.
“We are living through a period in which racism and incitement are deepening, while the political space for Jewish-Arab partnership is shrinking. The war of annihilation in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the abuse of prisoners, and the rampant crime ravaging Palestinian society all reflect a destructive policy.
“We seek to stand firmly against this policy and emphasize: There is no democracy without equality, no peace without justice, and no shared future without Jewish-Arab political partnership. We believe that the lives and futures of Jews and Palestinians are intertwined, and that only a joint struggle for freedom, equality, and justice can secure a democratic future for us all. We support the Joint List, its principles, and the struggle it represents for a better life for everyone.”

(August 25, 2026)
It is a strategy that the party is likely to repeat in the next Congress to secure Israeli interests while appearing to acknowledge voters’ demands.
Furthermore, the Democratic establishment has shown little interest in breaking its dependence on AIPAC. In April, the Democratic National Committee rejected even a symbolic resolution condemning the lobby’s interference in Democratic primaries.
“Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition,” writes Trump, “including that coming from even Israel, itself.”
Trump says Netanyahu has “endured and, in fact, he has thrived!”
“I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times,” writes Trump. “Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure — But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today. This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much.”
