Democrats have spent years warning that voter ID laws amount to a new era of voter suppression — a modern-day Jim Crow designed to disenfranchise minority communities. But a viral moment from a black church in Alabama is raising some uncomfortable questions about that narrative.

Representative Shomari Figures, a Democrat, recently stood before a Black congregation and posed a pointed question: how many of you do not have a driver's license? He likely expected the moment to underscore the supposed burden that voter ID requirements place on Black Americans. Instead, not a single hand went up.

There is an old adage in politics, roughly translated from the language of hardball to plain English, that you don't spend ammunition on a target that isn't a threat. By that measure, the American left has just handed JD Vance the most sincere endorsement a political figure can receive: they are terrified of him, and they want you to hate him before you've had the chance to decide for yourself.

The coordinated campaign to define the Vice President is now fully underway, and its architects aren't even bothering to disguise the strategy. Democrat operative Lis Smith — the same consultant who helped Pete Buttigieg transform himself from the mayor of South Bend into a national commodity — put the game plan on the table without apology: the left must begin defining Vance "not in 2027, not in 2028 — but today."

A new report indicates President Donald Trump is expected to endorse Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Republican Senate primary runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.

The May 26 runoff follows a March 3 primary in which neither candidate reached 50 percent, with Cornyn edging Paxton by a slim margin and Rep. Wesley Hunt taking third.

Over half of GOP primary voters supported candidates other than Cornyn, signaling significant dissatisfaction with the longtime senator.

Paxton received strong grassroots applause at CPAC in Dallas this week, reinforcing his position as the preferred choice among the base.

Trump met positively with Paxton last week and has privately acknowledged that the MAGA base stands firmly with the attorney general.

Establishment support for Cornyn appears to be waning, with limited financial backing from key Senate committees.

The endorsement decision remains tied in part to progress on Trump’s legislative priorities, including elements of the SAVE Act.

Paxton has made clear he will not exit the race regardless of Trump’s choice, stating he owes it to the people of Texas to continue fighting.
