Democrats face another split over age and values in Arizona

Democrats face another split over age and values in Arizona

Washington Post15-07-2025
Tuesday's special election primary to replace Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Arizona), who died in office earlier this year, is exposing broader Democratic Party rifts over age, experience, values and what it takes to improve the party's success rate on the national level.
Grijalva's daughter, Adelita Grijalva, who served on the Pima County governing board until recently, is the Democratic front-runner. She faces two competitive opponents, including 25-year-old political newcomer Deja Foxx, a content creator and activist who has appeared to gain momentum in recent weeks and left some Democrats wondering if she can replicate a surprise victory like Zohran Mamdani's upset win in the New York City mayoral primary last month. The third prominent candidate, Daniel Hernandez, 35, is a former state House member who as a congressional intern helped save the life of his boss after a mass shooting.

Before the attacks, Senate candidates seek to define themselves in Kentucky

CALVERT CITY, Ky. — Three Republicans competing to succeed longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell tried to define themselves before the political attacks that could come Saturday when they share the spotlight at the Fancy Farm picnic, a daunting rite of passage for candidates seeking statewide office in Kentucky. 'You're going to hear some barbs tomorrow, but what I want to focus on is my vision for serving in the United States Senate,' Daniel Cameron, one of the candidates, told a GOP crowd Friday evening.

Josh Harris, others react to RFK Stadium bill

The Washington Commanders are another step closer to returning to RFK Stadium. Well, in this case, building a new stadium on the RFK campus. On Friday, the Washington D.C. City Council voted 9-3 in favor of the Commanders building a new, multi-use facility in the District. One of the votes in favor of the NFL franchise was Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, who previously opposed the project. The Commanders pledged an unprecedented $2.7 billion toward the project, which will include a 65,000-seat stadium that will be used year-round to host various events, such as major sporting events and concerts. The project also features 6,000 housing units, with 1,800 affordable housing units, retail space, and a community benefits agreement worth $50 million or more. The agreement also includes close to $1 billion in public funds, and around $1 billion in tax breaks for the Commanders. Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has been a huge proponent of bringing the NFL franchise back to D.C., and, of course, was thrilled with the latest developments.
