All ‘Squad’ Democrats Running In Illinois Primaries Lose
Democratic candidates associated with the far-left legislative “Squad” lost all six Illinois House primary races on Tuesday evening, dealing a significant blow to their hopes of taking control of the party after the November midterms.
“Being endorsed by @BernieSanders, @RoKhanna, @justicedems and @sunrisemvmt was a kiss of death in Illinois,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) cheered on X as the results were tallied. “Democratic voters rejected their extreme anti-Israel candidates, instead choosing mainstream candidates. AIPAC is proud to help defeat six would-be Squad members tonight!”
“Perhaps the most significant defeat for the far left was influencer Kat Abughazaleh’s loss to Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss in the 9th Congressional District. Biss and Abughazaleh held many identical stances, such as wanting to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and endorsing a single-payer health care system,” the New York Post reported, adding: “Biss was also backed by Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairman Greg Casar (D-Texas), former CPC Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).”
Abughazaleh adopted significantly bolder tactics, however. In fact, she was arrested and charged last year for attempting to obstruct ICE during a protest in Broadview, Illinois, in September 2025.
The Palestinian-American activist received support from left-wing Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), but their backing was not enough to help her overcome Biss.
In addition to Abughazaleh, AIPAC also targeted several other candidates in Illinois.
These included activist Kina Collins in the 7th District, tech businessman Junaid Ahmed, and Village of Hanover Park Trustee Yasmeen Bankole in the 8th District.
In the 9th District, Skokie school board member Bushra Amiwala also ran against Biss, Abughazaleh, and 12 other Democratic candidates.
For that district, AIPAC supported state Sen. Laura Fine (D-Chicago), who finished third behind Biss and Abughazaleh.
Meanwhile, Republican voters appear to have already settled on a candidate for the 2028 presidential election cycle, according to a report published this week.
Vice President JD Vance remains the favored pick, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio has advanced in The Center Square’s latest Voters’ Voice Poll.
“The poll surveyed 952 Republicans and 225 independents who lean Republican across the country, asking them to choose from 15 prominent figures in conservative politics or select ‘someone else’ or ‘not sure,’” the outlet reported.
“Vance was the first choice by a landslide, with 36% of respondents selecting the current vice president. He drew nearly twice as much support as Donald Trump Jr., the second-most popular choice at 19%. An additional 14% said they were not sure, rounding out the top 70% of respondents,” the outlet added.
Vance and Trump Jr. both saw declines in support compared to results from an October Voters’ Voice Poll, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio gained ground.
In the latest poll, Rubio received 9 percent overall, placing third among the listed candidates and emerging as the second-most popular option among independent voters.
In October, Vance had the support of 38 percent of Republican respondents and 41 percent of independents. In the latest survey, those figures declined to 36 percent among Republicans and 33 percent among independents.
Trump Jr. also saw a drop, with support falling from 26 percent among Republicans and 13 percent among right-leaning independents in October to 20 percent and 8 percent, respectively, The Center Square reported.
By contrast, Rubio’s support increased from 4 percent among Republicans in October — when he trailed Ron DeSantis — to 9 percent in the latest poll.
Among independents, Rubio rose to 15 percent, surpassing Trump Jr., who registered 8 percent in that group.
In earlier polling, Vance performed better among women than men, with support at 40 percent compared to 36 percent. In the latest survey, that pattern reversed, with 39 percent of men backing Vance compared to 33 percent of women.
Among female respondents, Rubio received 11 percent support, compared to 8 percent among men.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
