This year’s primary turnout continues a trend that’s been building since Donald Trump’s return to the White House – Democrats are more motivated than Republicans to vote.

Voter numbers have surged in Democratic primaries through the first half of 2026, creating a primary electorate that tilts more toward Democrats than in 2018, when Democrats won control of the House during Trump’s first term, or toward Republicans in 2022, when the GOP took back the House during Joe Biden’s term.

Of the 31 states that have held a primary election so far, 20 have held a major statewide primary for both Democrats and Republicans in each of the past three midterm years. CNN analyzed the votes reported in these 20 states through noon on July 2.

Among the states analyzed, 57% of primary voters were cast in Democratic primaries over Republican primaries, up 10 points from the same states in 2022 and 3 points relative to 2018. The popular vote was evenly split in these states in the 2024 presidential election.

Drawing conclusions from primary turnout can be difficult. Primaries across election years are often not directly comparable – an increase in primary votes in a state may be the result of a more competitive election in the current cycle, for example. An advantage in primary turnout may also not translate to the general election, as primaries generally feature the most committed voters in a party’s base, while less engaged voters more commonly participate in general elections.

But with primary votes now cast in more than 30 states ranging in size, geography, and political alignment, there’s a clear pattern: turnout is up across the board in Democratic primaries.

The turnout advantage for Democratic primaries has also been consistent across states, particularly when compared to 2022.

Turnout has also tended to increase in both parties’ primaries relative to 2018: of the 20 states analyzed, 16 had increases in turnout in Democratic primaries and 14 had increases in Republican primaries. Relative turnout in Democratic primaries has been higher than relative turnout in Republican primaries in 18 of 20 states compared to 2022 and 12 of 20 states compared to 2018.

Americans have held consistently negative views of both parties during Trump’s second term, including a substantial minority of the Democratic base that views their own party negatively.

But that negative sentiment hasn’t dissuaded Democratic voters from turning out at higher rates –Democratic candidates have generally outperformed 2024 presidential margins by a considerable amount in House special elections and statewide races. The primary turnout dynamic in this year’s primaries continues a trend from early March, when Texas kicked off the primary season with record-breaking turnout in its Democratic primary.

Partisanship around the country’s big anniversary has put Democrats in a bind: They want to criticize the president without appearing unpatriotic.

Socialist ousts Dem incumbent in Colorado

Chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on a far-left surge consuming the Democratic Party after socialist candidate Melat Kiros ousted 14-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in Denver, marking the 27th progressive primary victory this cycle, triggering sharp warnings from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The far left is taking its political playbook nationwide, moving from high-profile primary wins in New York City and Colorado to a string of upcoming Democratic contests in Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida.

After far-left and socialist-aligned candidates scored ballot-box victories over establishment-backed contenders in congressional primaries in New York City and Colorado the past two weeks, the left is taking aim at the Midwest.

Hours after Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) backed challenger and first-time candidate Melat Kiros toppled 15-term Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette in Tuesday’s primary in Denver’s deep blue 1st Congressional District, former Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri pledged on social media, “On August 4th, St. Louis will do the same.”

Kiros’ victory, coupled with wins a week earlier by three far-left congressional candidates heavily supported by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is emboldening progressives as they try to turn isolated blue-city upsets into a national pressure campaign against the Democratic Party.

VICTORIES BY MAMDANI-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES SPOTLIGHTS GROWING RIFT IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY

“Only socialism can solve decades of capitalist mismanagement in the US. Our newly elected leaders will fight for the working class — not for crumbs,” the DSA proclaimed in a social media post on Wednesday.

In Missouri, the DSA-backed Bush is running to win back her seat in the state’s St. Louis-anchored 1st Congressional District.

Bush, a nurse, pastor and Black Lives Matter activist, first ran against Democratic Rep. Lacy Clay in 2018 before ousting him in the 2020 Democratic primary. But two years ago, she lost renomination to St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell, who was backed by millions in outside money, including pro-Israel groups opposed to Bush’s position on the war in Gaza.

Fast-forward to today, and Bush and Clay are locked in an expensive and combative rematch.

The far left is also training its firepower on the crucial Great Lakes’ battleground of Michigan, which holds its primary on the same day as Missouri.

Abdul El-Sayed, a former Wayne County health director who unsuccessfully ran for governor eight years ago as an insurgent, is one of three major candidates trying to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich.

Backed last year by far left champion Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, El-Sayed on Thursday was endorsed by progressive rockstar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

“AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people,” El-Sayed wrote on social media. “Together, we’re proving that even in the face of unprecedented outside spending, a movement powered by the people can win.”

One week later, on Aug. 11, Wisconsin holds primaries.

Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong is on the rise among a crowded field of candidates in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

“It’s a great day to be a democratic socialist,” the DSA-aligned Hong posted on X last week after the progressive victories in New York City, in which two Democratic congressional incumbents lost renomination. “Wisconsin is next!”

A week later, the spotlight will shine on Florida, where DSA-backed Oliver Larkin is challenging two-term Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., in the state’s 25th Congressional District, which includes portions of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.

“Tonight, @MelatKirosCO, tomorrow @OliverALarkin. The movement moves from New York to Colorado to FLORIDA!,” the DSA wrote on X hours after Kiros’ victory.

Kiros, who lost her job as a lawyer in New York after writing an essay critical of Israel, was also backed by Justice Democrats, the nearly decade-old political group known for heavily supporting “Squad” members Ocasio-Cortez, and Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib as they toppled entrenched incumbents in their initial elections to Congress.

Hasan Piker, the controversial far-left streamer who attended Kiros’ primary night event in Denver, told Fox News, “I think progressive politics, left populism, a politics that centers the needs of the working class, can work in every district, in every state. That’s why I kept saying over and over again, it’s coming to a city near you.”

Progressives also scored an impressive victory in the neighboring 8th Congressional District, a crucial swing seat which stretches along the I-25 corridor north of Denver.

State Rep. Manny Rutinel tallied a convincing double-digit victory over former state Rep. Shannon Bird, a more moderate candidate. Rutinel will now take on Republican Rep. Gabe Evans, who flipped the seat in the 2024 cycle.

The race is considered one of two or three dozen that will determine if the GOP holds onto its razor-thin House majority in the midterms.

Longtime Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo, a veteran of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, told Fox News Digital that “it is undeniable that progressives have built a coalition and have a message that can serve to buoy a candidate when they are an acceptable alternative to the status quo.”

While plenty of mainstream Democrats have racked up primary victories in recent weeks, it is the far left’s wins that are grabbing the media spotlight.

And that is giving Republicans who are facing a rough political climate as they work to hold their slim House and Senate majorities, more ammunition as they portray all Democrats as radicals.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned of a “communist” threat.

Vice President JD Vance argued Tuesday on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle that Democrats have “a view that the United States is an evil country that must be dismantled from the ground and then built back up. That’s communism at its core, and you see more and more momentum in that direction from the Democrat Party.”

美国半导体业：政府干预价格与产能恐加剧储存晶片短缺

2026年7月3日 19:10 / 联合早报

美国半导体行业协会星期三（7月1日）致函贝森特等政府高官，敦促美国政府允许企业继续与客户签订长期供应合同，并继续为美国提高本土产量提供税务优惠。 （示意图/路透社）

（华盛顿彭博电）美国半导体行业协会致函财长贝森特警告，特朗普政府试图通过影响价格和产能来应对全球储存晶片短缺的政策，可能导致这个由人工智能（AI）热潮导致的供应短缺问题更加严重。

美国半导体行业协会星期三（7月1日）致函贝森特等政府高官，敦促美国政府允许企业继续与客户签订长期供应合同，并继续为美国提高本土产量提供税务优惠。全球三大储存晶片制造商——美国的美光、韩国的SK海力士（SK Hynix）和三星都是协会成员。

协会在信中说：“虽然有针对性的政策有助提升国内供应韧性，但那些扭曲价格或产能决策的干预措施，反而可能导致需求下滑持续更长时间。”

它补充说，目前业界正通过扩大美国制造业投资，以及与客户签订更多长期供货协议，来应对储存晶片供应紧张的问题。

随着AI数据中心迅速扩张，高端处理器所需的储存晶片需求创新高；汽车、消费电子等行业也面临前所未有的储存晶片供应压力。

协会并未在信函中提及中国供应商，不过晶片短缺已引发美国是否应允许企业向被列入黑名单的中国储存晶片制造商采购的政策争议。据报，苹果正与两家中国公司洽谈采购，并寻求特朗普政府支持。

为缓解电子产品成本上涨带来的压力，协会也提出与苹果提高产品售价不同的解决方案。协会呼吁政府与国会合作，通过制定以消费者为导向的税收减免或抵免政策，来抵消手机和笔记本电脑价格上涨的影响。

协会引述业界数据称，储存晶片产能未来几年预计将以每年约19%的速度增长，但AI基础设施需求激增将超过供应能力，从而限制手提电脑、汽车及家电等产品的供应。

Tricorn hats or Trump rally? Americans have July Fourth options

2026-07-03T10:00:28.305Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/03/politics/america-250-july-4-national-mall-trump-analysis

A version of this story appeared in CNN’s What Matters newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here.

The United States is celebrating a jubilee: July Fourth is the 250th anniversary, or semiquincentennial, of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the foundational document for Western democracy.

Donald Trump, more than any president in the centuries since then, challenges some of the basic ideas of the document, which was written as list of complaints against the king of England.

So it seems predictable that, rather than a Fourth of July celebration for Americans of all political persuasions, he’s advertising the massive fireworks display on the National Mall as “the most spectacular TRUMP RALLY of them all, a ‘TRIBUTE TO AMERICA.’”

Instead of popular music acts, most of whom pulled out of the show, the rally will feature military bands the president commands, and his own personal playlist.

In honor of “We hold these truths to be self-evident,” we’re likely to hear Trump’s favorite song, “YMCA,” by the Village People.

Even if close to half of voters hadn’t preferred his presidential rival, Trump’s approval rating, which is in the 30s, suggests that even some of those who voted for him might rather focus on the country and its ideals than the current president and his baggage.

Americans came together to declare independence, but they are divided over much else. Even this week, Supreme Court justices disagreed over the words in the Declaration of Independence as they split over whether the US Constitution protects the right of all people born in the US to be US citizens. (It does, according to the majority.)

The fireworks display will be “THE LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY,” Trump said in a social media post. Freedom 250, the Trump-aligned group that has taken over the festivities on the National Mall, is looking to break the Guiness record, but it hasn’t said how much all of this is going to cost.

The Great American State Fair, Freedom 250’s monthlong event on the National Mall, has so far suffered from spotty attendance, logistical issues, at least one unfortunate appearance of a Confederate flag and the fact that not all 50 states are taking part.

There was also an outsize fireworks celebration for the bicentennial in 1976, when reports suggested 1 million people gathered on or near the National Mall. Abandoned cars led to an epic traffic jam that lasted into the next day, according to the White House Historical Association. But the president back then, Gerald Ford, did not hold a rally, but rather squeezed events up and down the Northeast corridor. One of them was a speech outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where another million people were gathered, according to a New York Times report.

It’s hard to imagine a million people gathering for either the fireworks show or a Trump speech in today’s environment, but recall that in 1976, the country was recovering from both Watergate and Vietnam.

CNN’s Piper Hudspeth Blackburn wrote last week about how Trump’s takeover of DC’s festivities has fractured America’s birthday party. Ten years ago, Congress created and funded a bipartisan organization, America 250, to plan and execute celebrations across the country. Those are still going on, but Trump wanted something else. The White House, after staffing disagreements, set up Freedom 250 — a separate, public/private entity — to do things more to his liking, and under the watchful eye of the National Guard troops that are still deployed in DC streets.

Freedom 250’s celebrations have each sparked some controversy; hosting a UFC fight night on the White House lawn on Trump’s birthday, for example, was a gladiatorial way to commemorate democratic governance. Another Freedom 250 spectacle will be the IndyCar race through the streets of Washington in August.

Trump’s effort to rebrand the Washington, DC, events, is an opportunity to look around the rest of the country. America 250, the group created 10 years ago by Congress, has a list of committees planning events all over the place, including what they’re calling “America’s Block Party”.

Virginia, like other states, is hosting its own events to commemorate the anniversary. This year, PBS, the public broadcaster for which Trump and Republicans cut taxpayer funding last year, won’t be airing the fireworks show from the National Mall, as it has for decades. Instead, PBS will air its July Fourth broadcast from Colonial Williamsburg, the historic town famous for actors who thoughtfully portray Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry in costume.

They’ll have fireworks and a drone show, but also lean into the history of the day, which is what they do every day in Williamsburg.

“We made a decision that we would operate independently of DC, which didn’t exist 250 years ago, and we would lead the nation once again,” said Carly Fiorina, honorary chair of Virginia 250 and chair of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

“I think it is fair to say that a Trump rally is not appealing to all Americans,” Fiorina, who ran against Trump for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, told me in a recent phone conversation. “One of the things that you learn when you study our history is that America is bigger than any one man, even a president.”

In fact, some of the towering presidents of American history are those who gave up power

“George Washington as the first president, the so-called father of our nation, was offered the opportunity to become, in essence, a permanent president and monarch, and he declined,” Fiorina said, adding Washington also declined to run for a third term “specifically to make the point that America is bigger than any man, including a president.”

Trump visited the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota on Wednesday. Roosevelt, though wildly popular, chose to leave the White House rather than run for a third term in 1908, although Roosevelt tried, unsuccessfully, to come out of retirement in 1912.

Trump won’t have that option when he leaves office in 2029: The Constitution, the nation’s other founding document, forbids presidents from serving a third term.

Trump says U.S. maintaining current support levels for NATO would be “ridiculous”

July 3, 2026 / 4:46 AM EDT / CBS/AFP

President Trump said late Thursday it’s “ridiculous” for the United States to continue its “one sided” relationship with NATO. His remarks came less than a week before a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.

Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “They were not there for us!!!” and Washington’s relationship with NATO “is not reciprocal.”

He has repeatedly lashed out at European allies over their response to the war in Iran, as several countries restricted the use of bases for U.S. forces, though he didn’t consult with them in advance or involve them in any planning for its economic and security fallout.

The president has said he may try to pull the U.S. out of the alliance, though he would need Congress to approve such a step.

Mr. Trump insists he wants Europe to take the lead role for its own defense, and Washington has already moved to scale back commitments.

His post on Thursday included a chart displaying NATO spending amounts, with the United States investing vastly more than the other member states depicted.

Under pressure from Mr. Trump, NATO leaders agreed at a gathering last year to boost defense-related spending to five percent of GDP by 2035.

The upcoming NATO summit, which will bring together 32 member states, will be held in the Turkish capital Tuesday and Wednesday.

The alliance, founded in 1949, grew into a U.S.-led defense force credited with maintaining stability in Europe, keeping the Soviet Union at bay and solidifying Washington as a world power for decades to come.

明辉田鸡粥老板涉嫌逃税近380万元 被控上庭

2026年7月3日 12:30 / 新明日报

明辉田鸡粥老板布托诺因涉嫌逃付约197万元个人所得税和约179万元消费税，以及用部分逃税所得购置住宅和跑车等，星期五（7月3日）被控上法庭。 （新明日报）

明辉田鸡粥老板被指在九年内收入超过千万元，却涉嫌少报逾900万元收入，逃税近380万元，并以部分逃税所得购置有地住宅和兰博基尼跑车，被控上法庭。

被告布托诺（Buntono，49岁）星期五（7月3日）在国家法院被控30项控状，包括抵触所得税法令、消费税法令和贪污、贩毒和其他严重罪行（没收利益）法令。

国内税务局和新加坡警察部队星期五发联合文告说，被告是芽笼19巷的明辉田鸡粥（Eminent Frog Porridge）的经营者。

综合文告和控状内容，2016年至2024年估税年期间，被告的餐馆实际营业收入约1124万4568元，却少报约971万9341元，因此少缴约197万8065元的所得税。

被告也被指隐瞒注册消费税的责任，并在同一期间的所得税申报表中虚报和少报营业收入，逃缴约179万7310元的消费税。

他也涉嫌没有在上述期间保存充分的业务记录。

另外，被告被指用部分逃税所得，在布洛汉顿通道购买有地住宅，以及一辆兰博基尼跑车。他的住家也被指搜出代表部分犯罪所得的246万零490元现金。

布托诺已聘请律师，案展8月7日再度过堂。他目前获准以40万元保释在外。

税务局提醒，所有企业，包括通过交易、职业和专业中取得收入的个人，都应密切关注年度收入，以评估是否须注册消费税。未注册消费税属违法行为，企业可能面临消费税金额10%的罚金，以及最高1万元的罚款。

纳税人也须把所有应税交易的记录和账目妥善保存五年，以备税务局核查。与消费税相关的记录则必须从规定的会计期间起，保存不少于五年。违例者可被判罚款或监禁，或两者兼施。

若发现自己或公司报税错误，应立即通知税务局，当局会酌情处理。税务局吁请知情者举报任何与税务相关的不当行为，举报者可获得相当于税款15％的奖金，顶限为10万元。举报者身份将保密。

当局强调，严正看待所有逃税的案件，违法者将依法处置。

根据所得税法令，逃税一旦罪名成立，可被判缴付相当于虚报税额三倍的罚金，并可另加罚款最高1万元，或坐牢最长三年，或两者兼施。

根据贪污、贩毒和其他严重罪行（没收利益）法令，转换或持有犯罪所得一旦罪成，可被判罚款最高50万元，或坐牢最长10年，或两者兼施。

乌节路遭陌生人持刀袭击 伤者：刀再深三公分我就没命了

2026年7月3日 15:41 / 联合早报

乌节路附近芙蓉路（Buyong Road）星期四（7月2日）凌晨发生持刀袭击事件，四名相约聚会的小学同学遭人砍伤送院。 （受访者提供）

“如果当时刀捅得更深，或往下三公分，我肯定就没命了！”

《联合早报》早前报道，乌节路附近芙蓉路（Buyong Road）星期四（7月2日）凌晨发生持刀袭击事件，四名相约聚会的小学同学遭人砍伤送院。

警方迅速逮捕两名涉案男子，并起获一把西瓜刀，第三名嫌犯随后也落网。伤势最重者虽已完成手术，但耳朵和嘴唇仍失去知觉，需留院观察，另三名伤者已出院。

《联合早报》记者星期五（3日）探访伤者江家吉（39岁，泰餐老板）。他于星期四晚接受面部手术后，转入普通病房继续留院。记者所见，他颈部沿下颚至左耳后方有一道十多厘米长的伤口，右眼眶下还有细长划痕，双眼肿胀，眼珠布满瘀血。

江家吉受访时说，经医生抢救已脱离生命危险，但伤口附近的耳朵和嘴唇仍无知觉，无法正常行走，预计短期内无法工作。

江家吉说，他和朋友与三名伤人者素不相识，事前无任何纠纷，只是在路口打招呼后超过对方，其中一人便毫无征兆地持刀捅向他。“我完全没有防备，只觉得脖子剧痛，随后又被另一人冲上来不断殴打，很快就昏迷了。”

新加坡治安向来良好，此次遇袭令他大感意外。他坦言，平日很少深夜外出，这次因难得的老同学聚会才逗留至凌晨。“我们遇袭地点靠近总统府，乌节路一向安全，摄像头也多，没想到对方敢在那里动手，而且毫无预兆，根本来不及反应。”

朋友拍下的现场视频显示，他身穿的白衣已被鲜血染红，一名黑衣男子冲向另一名朋友并不断爆粗，即使被同伴拉开仍不依不饶。江家吉心有余悸地说：“如果刀捅得更深或往下三公分，我肯定没命了！”

三人落网今早被控

三名嫌犯星期五早上被控上法庭。三名被告分别是巴迪优（Badril，25岁），李志杰（33岁）和吴俊雄（27岁），今早各被控一项持危险武器蓄意伤人的罪行。

根据控状，三名被告于今年7月2日凌晨2时55分，在乌节路一带芙蓉路（Buyong Road）和乌节路的交界处，用一把刀攻击一名男子的脖子和头部，导致他多处受伤。持危险武器蓄意伤人的罪行一旦罪成，可被判最高七年监禁，或罚款，或鞭刑，或任何组合的刑罚。

闯红灯撞死骑士 罗厘司机监21个月吊照10年

罗厘闯红灯，在交接处撞飞电单车。 （档案照片）

罗厘司机称阳光刺眼看错交通灯而闯红灯，结果在交界处撞上电单车，骑士连人带车被抛飞10米，昏迷送院后身亡。

被告维莱萨米（Vellaisamy Manikandan，27岁）星期四（7月2日）承认一项抵触公路交通法令的罪行，被判坐牢21个月和吊销各级驾照10年。

这起致命车祸发生在2024年3月25日早上7时31分，地点是在惹兰阿末依布拉欣和大士西路交界处。

庭上揭露，死者是一名45岁的电单车骑士。

被告当时驾驶罗厘行驶在大士西路，等待交通灯转绿，随后驶过交界处时，撞上死者。

根据庭上播放的画面，当时被告方向的交通灯仍是红灯，但被告却开始行驶，经过交界处时，撞飞当时正在交界处的死者。死者被撞飞连头盔都飞落，电单车的零件碎一地，被告也马上停下罗厘。

控方指出，死者连人带车被撞飞到约10米远外的草丛。被告当时告诉警察，因为太阳太刺眼看不清交通灯，以为交通灯转绿，所以才开始行驶。

死者昏迷送院，于当天早上8时21分被宣告死亡。验尸报告显示，死者多处受伤

求情称 阳光刺眼看错交通灯

司机求情时称，两个交通灯相近造成混乱。

被告的代表律师求情时说，当时前方有一个较高和较低位置的交通灯，由于被告驾驶的是较低的罗厘，加上当时阳光刺眼，因此看不清较高的交通灯。被告看到较低位置的交通灯转绿，以为能够通行才会开始行驶。

不过控方指出，当时不仅是红灯，被告旁边的车辆也因红灯停着，被告却都没有注意到是红灯。
