    (波哥大综合电)哥伦比亚西部地区发生多年来最强烈的7.4级地震,上百栋建筑倒塌,至少224人死、668人受伤。新任总统德拉埃斯普列亚宣布全国进入紧急状态。

    地震星期一(8月10日)早上7时34分(本地时间晚间8时34分)发生,震中位于哥伦比亚乔科省(Choco)圣何塞德尔帕尔马镇附近,震源深度约110公里。这次地震可能由纳斯卡板块内部深层断层活动引发。

    强烈震感传至数百公里外的首都波哥大,邻国厄瓜多尔和巴拿马部分地区也有震感。

    灾情最严重的地区包括西南部城市卡利(Cali)、咖啡产区城市佩雷拉(Pereira)和马尼萨莱斯(Manizales),以及乔科省首府基布多(Quibdo)。

    哥伦比亚当局星期二(11日)说,地震已造成至少224人死亡。首都城市协会最新统计显示受伤人数也已升至668人。然而同天较迟时候,几个重灾城市的市长发布联合声明,指已有1300多人受伤。

    据估计,超过5000栋房屋受损,165栋建筑倒塌,仍有人受困废墟,死伤人数恐会进一步上升。

    地震发生当天下午约1时左右,上周才刚宣誓就职的哥伦比亚总统德拉埃斯普列亚(Abelardo de la Espriella)向全国人民发表讲话,强调“政府必动员一切能力资源,保护生命、援助受影响社区,为任何有需要的地方提供支援。”他也宣布全国进入紧急状态,并将倾注全力展开救援。

    在重灾区卡利市,至少19栋建筑倒塌,95人遇难。救援人员和志愿者连夜展开搜救,有些人使用简易工具甚至徒手挖掘,尽一切所能寻找可能受困废墟的生还者。

    43岁的卡利居民加西亚也自愿参与搜救工作。她说,搜救队从一栋倒塌的建筑中救出七人,另有四人和一只狗仍然受困废墟。“刚才还听见抓挠声,现在却什么都听不见了……但我们相信那只狗还活着,也能把这些人救出……越多人来帮忙越好。”

    由于卡利市有关当局接获报案指有人趁地震行窃,星期一晚实施宵禁。总统德拉埃斯普列亚派遣1000名安全部队人员前往当地协助维持秩序。

    在里萨拉尔达省首府佩雷拉,至少72人身亡,有的住宅区变成一片废墟,并大范围断电。

    地方官员里瓦斯则指,基布多市的公共服务和通信“几乎完全中断”。

    基布多居民库埃斯塔说,地震发生时看见有人赤身裸体逃出屋外,也有人从自家二楼跳下避难。

    哥伦比亚五座城市的医院星期一进入红色警戒;一切手术及门诊咨询暂停,以为急诊医疗护理调动现有的所有人员和资源。民航局则指全国至少六座机场暂停营运。

    美国国务卿鲁比奥星期一说,美国正密切关注灾情,随时准备向哥伦比亚提供援助。美方随后宣布提供1550万美元(约1984万新元)的紧急救援资金。

    欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩则说,欧盟已启动“哥白尼”卫星服务协助当地搜救行动。以色列、墨西哥、厄瓜多尔和法国也表明愿意提供援助。

    1999年1月,哥伦比亚咖啡产区曾发生6.2级地震,亚美尼亚和佩雷拉等地受灾严重,共造成1000多人死亡。

    American Robert Gilman was released from Russian detention Tuesday, according to two US officials and an organization advocating on behalf of his family.

    His release came amid severe concerns about his health. Gilman, a former Marine, had been detained since 2022.

    Global Reach, the organization advocating on behalf of his family, said in a statement that Gilman “is on his way to a US military hospital in Texas, where he will be medically and psychologically assessed and treated.”

    “His family has flown to Texas – including his mother, who was in Russia attempting to see him at the hospital,” the organization said.

    One of the US officials confirmed that Gilman is receiving medical care and is on his way back to the United States.

  • 与环孢子虫暴发相关的农场7年未接受检查,FDA外国检查目标落实滞后


    2026年8月11日 / 美国东部时间上午11:19 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)2025年仅开展了不到1000次外国食品安全检查,而被认为是美国当前环孢子虫暴发核心的墨西哥农场并未在检查名单之列。

    一项旨在防止患病和不洁食品进入美国人餐盘的联邦法律要求FDA每年开展近20倍于此的外国检查。但该法律实施10年来,无论两届执政党如何更迭,FDA从未达到国会规定的目标——甚至连目标的10%都未达到。

    FDA官员称这一要求不切实际,但从未要求国会修订。该机构认为保障外国进口食品安全所需的更低检查目标,仍比去年实际开展的检查数量高出近5倍。

    与此同时,国会未增加FDA的食品安全预算以跟上通胀步伐,特朗普总统第二任期第一年的大规模裁员进一步压缩了资源。

    受这些削减措施影响,检查率大幅下滑,2025年外国食品安全检查数量较2024年下降29%。除新冠疫情期间外,去年的检查数量是2011年以来的最低值。2026年的早期数据显示,今年的检查数量有望与去年持平。

    “FDA检查确实是缓解疫情暴发的第一道防线。如果FDA不定期前往食品加工厂检查,就完全是盲目的,”美国卫生与公众服务部监察长关于FDA对美国国内工厂检查报告的主要作者梅里迪思·塞夫说道,“它无法确保这些工厂遵守法律和法规,也无法确保其加工的食品安全。”

    过去十年中,FDA针对外国食品企业开展的食源性危害检查中,约有三分之一发现了违规行为,检查数据显示。此前检查员在墨西哥的种植场地发现过卫生纸和人类粪便,在中国观察到空调水滴滴落在小龙虾上。在过去十年中,约有2%的检查发现违规行为严重到足以启动执法行动。

    记录显示,在此次环孢子虫暴发之前,FDA上一次检查其潜在源头墨西哥泰勒农场已是7年前。上一次检查是在那之前6年——为应对2013年的另一起环孢子虫暴发。2019年的检查未发现违规行为,而2013年暴发后的审查发现该工厂回收沙拉混合菜的洗涤水,但无法明确确定此次暴发的源头。

    美国卫生与公众服务部高级新闻秘书艾米丽·希利亚德表示,FDA“正在积极努力扩大驻外人员编制”。公共卫生专家表示,检查数量只是整个食品安全体系中的一个考量因素,食品公司对日常安全负有主要责任。但他们也表示,检查数量作为监管机构能够提供的外部监督手段,仍然至关重要。

    “认为FDA保护食品供应的能力可以通过单一的检查统计数据来衡量,忽视了该机构基于风险优先分配资源、将人员部署在对公共卫生影响最大的地方的全面监督体系,”希利亚德在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中写道。

    FDA负责检查水果和蔬菜、乳制品、加工食品以及大多数海产品的生产商,而美国农业部负责检查肉类和家禽生产商。

    哥伦比亚广播公司新闻对进口数据的分析发现,去年约有4.7万家外国生产商占美国非肉类食品进口量的90%。自2023年以来,FDA仅对其中4.5%的企业进行了检查。

    FDA采用基于风险的模型来确定检查员的派遣地点,依据是企业向美国出口食品的数量和频率,以及其既往检查和进口拒绝记录。除检查外,FDA还使用算法为进口货物分配分数,以便在入境口岸进行筛查,若认定托运方存在问题,可无需检查直接扣留进口货物。联邦法律还要求进口食品的美国公司确保其供应商遵守安全标准。

    “不切实际”的目标

    联邦数据显示,自2011年以来,联邦检查员(非疫情年份)年均访问约1300家外国工厂和农场,检查可能导致食源性疾病的危害。

    根据美国卫生与公众服务部监察长的数据,近年来美国国内的FDA、州和地方机构每年开展超过1万次检查。

    《食品安全现代化法案》(FSMA)设定了逐年递增的外国检查目标,2016年的上限为19200次。FDA早在2015年就向联邦监督机构表示这一数字无法实现,因此国会指示FDA向国会提出调整后的目标。该机构后来开展了内部分析,认为所需的检查数量应为4700次,约为近年来FDA实际完成数量的3至5倍。但该机构从未将这一数字提交给国会。

    去年1月美国政府问责局敦促FDA重新审视这一目标后,该机构成立了工作组重新开展分析。

    “政府问责局在1月份的报告中指出,该机构因资金不足和人员短缺而受限,这一说法是正确的。如今情况甚至更糟,”康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔说道,他要求开展此次最新的监督调查。“显然,我们需要更多资源、更好的管理和更多投入。其中一部分可以通过立法解决,但也必须来自行政部门。”

    根据FDA的估算,每次外国检查平均成本为38700美元,达到国会现行规定的目标每年将花费约7.43亿美元——超过FDA entire预算的10%。

    人员配备挑战

    美国政府问责局的报告显示,FDA2024年有432名检查员,但其招聘速度未超过人员流失速度。根据《食品安全现代化法案》,国会指示FDA招聘5000名检查员,但该机构表示从未有足够预算实现如此大规模的人员扩招。

    “十多年来,由于工作难度大,留住检查员一直是FDA面临的挑战,”负责起草FDA拨款法案的参议院拨款小组委员会主席、北达科他州共和党议员约翰·霍文在一份书面声明中写道。

    去年的大规模政府裁员 spared了检查员,但削减了后勤人员编制,导致一线检查员需要自行预订机票和翻译服务。

    2024年,FDA仅有少量检查员——20名——专门负责外国供应商检查,该机构经常从国内检查员队伍中抽调人员。它会派遣检查员出国数周,在一次行程中兼顾多个检查点。FDA还与加拿大、新西兰和澳大利亚达成协议,认可其食品体系和检查结果与美国等效。

    “完成19200次检查对他们来说是不可能的数字,”FDA前食品与兽药事务副局长斯蒂芬·奥斯特罗夫说道,“他们非常努力地尝试寻找替代外国检查的方案。”

    检查之外的措施

    由于检查频率很低,“食品安全的日常运营和管理实际上落在了企业身上,而非监管机构,”罗格斯大学食品科学系主任唐·沙夫纳博士说道。

    经济激励措施强化了这种自我监督:路透社报道称,此次环孢子虫暴发期间,预包装生菜的销售额在7月份下降了近20%。泰勒农场表示,其每年在食品安全协议和独立审计上投入2亿美元,包括定期监测水质和员工卫生状况。

    “如果考虑到我们食用的食品数量之多,食品行业在食品安全方面总体上做得非常好,”特拉华大学微生物食品安全主席卡利·尼尔博士说道。

    尽管如此,非营利组织“停止食源性疾病”首席执行官桑德拉·埃斯金表示,检查仍然是“一项关键的食品安全和消费者保护活动”。

    “我们不在现场,也不在加工厂里,看不到里面发生的情况,”她说,“我们把食品带回家时,无法判断它是否受到污染。”

    关于数据

    哥伦比亚广播公司新闻分析了FDA数据仪表板中的检查和进口数据。本次分析仅限于针对“食源性生物危害”计划开展的美国以外企业的检查。为确定去年有多少外国生产商占美国食品进口量的90%,哥伦比亚广播公司新闻统计了向美国出口最多人类食品的外国生产商,将同一家公司在同一天交付的多种产品的运输合并为单次运输。肉类和家禽被排除在外,因为它们属于美国农业部的管辖范围,而非FDA。

    Farm linked to cyclosporiasis outbreak hadn’t been inspected in 7 years as FDA lags on foreign inspection targets

    August 11, 2026 / 11:19 AM EDT / CBS News

    The Food and Drug Administration conducted just under 1,000 foreign food safety inspections in 2025, and the farm in Mexico believed to be at the center of the ongoing cyclosporiasis outbreak in the U.S. was not one of them.

    A federal law enacted to prevent diseased and dirty food from reaching Americans’ plates requires the FDA to carry out nearly 20 times that many foreign inspections each year. But the FDA hasn’t come close to meeting the congressional mandate — or even 10% of it — in the 10 years it has been in place, spanning administrations led by both political parties.

    FDA officials have described the requirement as unrealistic, but have never asked Congress to revise it. A lower foreign inspection target the agency deemed necessary to safeguard foreign imports is still nearly five times higher than the number of inspections conducted last year.

    Congress, meanwhile, has not increased the agency’s food safety budget to outpace or keep up with inflation, and widespread layoffs during the first year of President Trump’s second term squeezed resources further.

    The rate of inspections has gotten markedly worse amid those reductions, with foreign food safety inspections falling by 29% from 2024. Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, last year’s inspection count was the lowest since 2011. Early numbers for 2026 show that the agency is on track to inspect a similar number this year.

    “FDA inspections really are the first line of defense for mitigating outbreaks. If FDA isn’t routinely going out to food facilities, it’s just completely blind,” said Meridith Seife, the lead author on a Health and Human Services Inspector General report on FDA inspections of U.S. facilities. “It’s unable to ensure that those facilities are complying with the laws, with regulations, and that the food that they handle is safe.”

    About a third of FDA inspections of foreign firms for foodborne hazards over the last decade found violations, inspection data show. Inspectors have previously found toilet paper and human feces in growing fields in Mexico and observed air conditioning units dripping onto crawfish in China. Around 2% of the time inspectors visited firms over the last 10 years, they found violations significant enough to prompt enforcement action.

    Before the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the FDA last inspected its potential source, Taylor Farms de Mexico, seven years ago, records show. The FDA’s last visit before that was six years prior — to respond to another cyclosporiasis outbreak in 2013. The 2019 inspection found no violations, while the 2013 post-outbreak review found the facility was recycling wash water for salad mix, but couldn’t conclusively pinpoint the source of the outbreak.

    The FDA is “actively working to expand staffing at foreign posts,” according to Emily Hilliard, senior press secretary for HHS. Public health experts say the inspection count is only one input in the whole system, and that food companies bear primary responsibility for day-to-day safety. But they also said the count still matters as an outside check regulators alone can provide.

    “Suggesting that FDA’s ability to protect the food supply can be measured by a single inspection statistic ignores the agency’s comprehensive oversight system, which prioritizes resources based on risk and deploys personnel where they have the greatest public health impact,” Hilliard wrote in a statement to CBS News.

    The FDA inspects producers of fruits and vegetables, dairy, processed foods and most seafood, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture is responsible for inspections of meat and poultry producers.

    About 47,000 foreign manufacturers accounted for 90% of non-meat food shipments into the U.S. last year, a CBS News analysis of import data found. The FDA has inspected 4.5% of them since 2023.

    The FDA employs a risk-based model to determine where to send inspectors, based on how much and how often a company sends food into the U.S. and its prior inspection and import refusal record. In addition to inspections, the FDA also uses an algorithm to assign scores to imports for screening at ports of entry, and can block any imports without examining them if they deem a shipper problematic. Federal law also puts the burden on U.S. companies importing food to ensure their suppliers follow safety standards.

    An “unrealistic” target

    Since 2011, federal inspectors have visited an average of about 1,300 foreign factories and farms annually (in non-pandemic years) to check for hazards that could lead to foodborne illness, federal data shows.

    The FDA, state and local agencies conducted more than 10,000 inspections annually inside the U.S. in recent years, according to the HHS Inspector General.

    The Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA, set a rising annual target for foreign inspections, capping it at 19,200 in 2016. The FDA told a federal watchdog as early as 2015 that the number was unworkable, so it directed the FDA to propose an adjusted target to Congress. The agency later conducted an internal analysis pegging the needed number of inspections at 4,700, about three to five times what the FDA has managed in recent years. But the agency never brought the number to Congress.

    After the Government Accountability Office urged the FDA to revisit the target again last January, the agency created a workgroup to redo the analysis.

    “The GAO was right in its January report when it said that the agency is handicapped by underfunding and understaffing. It’s even more so now,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat of Connecticut, who requested the more recent watchdog inquiry. “There’s clearly a need for more resources, better management, more commitment. Some of it can be legislated, but it also has to come from the administration.”

    At an average of $38,700 per foreign inspection, according to the FDA’s estimates, meeting the existing Congressional mandate would cost about $743 million a year — more than 10% of the FDA’s entire budget.

    Staffing challenges

    The FDA had 432 inspectors in 2024, and its hiring rate has not outpaced losses, according to the GAO report. Congress directed the hiring of 5,000 inspectors under FSMA, but the agency says it has never had the budget to increase staffing that much.

    “Retaining inspectors has been a challenge at the FDA for more than a decade due to the difficulty of the job,” wrote Sen. John Hoeven, a Republican of North Dakota, chair of the Senate appropriations subcommittee that drafts funding legislation for the FDA, in a written statement.

    Last year’s mass government layoffs spared inspectors but slashed support staff, leaving front-line inspectors to book their own flights and translators.

    With just a fraction of its inspectors — 20 in 2024 — dedicated to foreign providers, the agency often pulls from domestic inspector ranks. It sends inspectors overseas for weeks to combine multiple stops in one trip. The FDA has also worked out agreements with Canada, New Zealand and Australia to accept their food systems and inspection results as equivalent to the U.S.

    The required 19,200 inspections “was an impossible number for them to meet,” said Stephen Ostroff, former FDA deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine. “They have worked very hard to try to come up with alternatives to doing those foreign inspections.”

    Beyond inspections

    With inspections happening infrequently, “the day-to-day operations and management of food safety is really on the company rather than on the regulatory agency,” said Dr. Don Schaffner, chair of Rutgers University’s Department of Food Science.

    Economic incentives reinforce that self-monitoring: sales of prepackaged lettuce dropped nearly 20% in July amid the cyclosporiasis outbreak, Reuters reported. Taylor Farms says it invests $200 million annually in food safety protocols and independent audits, including regular monitoring of water quality and worker hygiene.

    “The food industry is very good in terms of food safety overall if you think of how much food we eat,” said Dr. Kali Kniel, chair of microbial food safety at the University of Delaware.

    Still, inspections remain “a critical food safety and consumer protection activity,” said Sandra Eskin, CEO of the nonprofit Stop Foodborne Illness.

    “We’re not in the field. We’re not in the processing plant. So, we can’t see what goes on,” she said. “We bring a food item into our house, we can’t tell if it’s contaminated.”

    About the data

    _CBS News analyzed inspections and import data from_FDA’s Data Dashboard_. The analysis was limited to inspections of firms outside of the U.S. that were inspected under the “Foodborne Biological Hazards” program. To determine how many foreign manufacturers imported 90% of food into the U.S. last year, CBS News counted foreign-based manufacturers who delivered the most shipments of human food into the U.S., grouping together deliveries of multiple products on the same day by the same company as a single shipment. Meat and poultry were excluded, as they are under the purview of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the FDA._

  • 美国解除限制 联邦政府设备可使用TikTok


    2026年8月11日 23:30 / 联合早报

    白宫管理和预算办公室正式撤销2023年的一项指令,当局曾禁止在政府设备上使用TikTok,原因是担心TikTok当时的中国所有权构成安全风险。 (路透社档案照片)

    美国政府宣布,解除对联邦政府设备使用TikTok的限制。

    彭博社报道,白宫管理和预算办公室星期一(8月10日)发布一份备忘录,撤销2023年的一项指令。指令曾禁止在政府设备上使用TikTok,原因是担心TikTok当时的中国所有权构成安全风险。

    司法部上个月发布一份书面意见,认定TikTok不再符合2022年通过的一项法律中“受监管应用程序”的定义,曾禁止在联邦平台上使用TikTok。

    TikTok的美国业务控制权已于今年1月完成转移,中国母公司字节跳动有限公司将控制权转让给由甲骨文公司和私募股权公司银湖资本牵头的美国企业财团。政府后来认定,TikTok业务转移至美国投资者后,这款热门社交媒体应用不再构成国家安全威胁。

    在美国总统特朗普总统的主导下,这笔交易旨在使TikTok免受美国于2024年生效的法律所制裁。起因是担心TikTok及母公司字节跳动可能与中国当局共享美国用户的信息。

    美国司法部的意见指出,目前版本的TikTok已独立于字节跳动运营,并由美国投资者控股。在新东家的领导下,这款应用已修改最初由字节跳动开发的内容推荐算法和网络安全程序,以保护联邦政府信息,避免受到当初引发禁令的安全风险影响。

    共和党议员正声援9/11遇难者家属发起的请愿,阻止纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼出席在世贸遗址举行的袭击事件25周年纪念活动。

    多名9/11遇难者家属发起了一份在线请愿书,呼吁美国国家9/11纪念馆与博物馆不要让曼达尼参与纪念在恐怖袭击中丧生的遇难者的活动,以纪念这场袭击发生25周年。

    福克斯新闻数字频道就阻止曼达尼出席纪念活动的请愿行动,以及考虑到这位民主社会主义者未能充分谴责伊斯兰极端主义的指控,询问了国会山的议员们是否允许他出席仪式是恰当的。

    “如果他头上套个纸袋出席,或许还合适点,”路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

    “我没法为这家伙说的任何话或做的任何事辩护,”参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党参议员约翰·图恩说道。

    这份请愿书列出了针对曼达尼的八项具体指控,包括他从未直接谴责“全球起义”(globalize the intifada)这一表述,据称他与极端主义和反美人士有来往,以及他的信仰受到父亲的影响——他的父亲曾呼吁为自杀式炸弹袭击者去污名化,并将美国与基地组织相提并论。

    “他对美国在世界上地位的看法,恐怕和大多数遇难者家属的想法大相径庭,”蒙大拿州共和党参议员蒂姆·希伊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

    遇难者家属的请愿还指出,曼达尼曾赞扬并任命与激进伊斯兰势力有关联的人员,他曾发表言论指责美国导致基地组织宣传人员安瓦尔·奥拉基激进化,以及他最近背书民主社会主义者达里亚利扎·阿里亚·切瓦利耶。

    “他为伊斯兰极端主义提供了平台,还公开支持哈马斯,他的妻子也是如此,”希伊声称。“哈马斯不只是其他穆斯林极端组织的附属组织,它本身就是核心成员之一。”

    曼达尼因去年在一次采访中拒绝呼吁哈马斯放下武器,以及其他被指与伊斯兰极端主义有关联、被指控反犹的指控,遭到了众多共和党议员的抨击。

    “鉴于这些担忧,我们恭敬地请求主办方仔细考虑,曼达尼先生的参与是否符合仪式的初衷,以及这场悲剧最直接受害者家属的期望,”请愿书中写道。

    “我认为他说过一些相当令人作呕的话,而且看起来他正朝着越来越多地发表这类言论的趋势发展,”内布拉斯加州共和党参议员黛布·费舍尔说道。“所以我完全能理解部分遇难者家属的感受。”

    截至周一晚间,这份请愿书已获得超过8.2万个签名,支持家属阻止曼达尼出席活动的诉求。

    “在我看来,他是这个国家的耻辱和笑柄,不过我们看看他会不会出席,对吧?”希伊说道。

    据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻报道,在得知这份请愿书后,曼达尼表示他仍计划出席今年的9/11纪念活动。

    曼达尼的办公室未回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

    GOP senators rally behind 9/11 families in push to ban Mamdani from anniversary ceremony: ‘He’s a disgrace’

    The petition has gathered more than 82,000 signatures citing claims the NYC mayor has failed to condemn Islamic extremism

    Republican senators are rallying behind the petition from families of 9/11 victims to block New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending the 25th anniversary remembrance ceremony of the attacks at Ground Zero.

    Several families of 9/11 victims launched an online petition calling on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to not include Mamdani in the commemorative events honoring those who lost their lives in the terror attacks 25 years ago.

    Fox News Digital asked senators on Capitol Hill about the efforts to ban Mamdani from attending the memorial, and whether it would be appropriate for him to show up given claims that the democratic socialist has failed to adequately condemn Islamic extremism.

    “It might be appropriate if he goes while wearing a paper bag over his head,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told Fox News Digital.

    “I mean I can’t defend anything that guy says or does,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said.

    The petition cites eight specific concerns about Mamdani, including claims he has never directly condemned the phrase “globalize the intifada,” allegedly associating with extremist and anti-American individuals and claims that his beliefs are shaped by his father, who called for destigmatizing suicide bombers and drew comparisons between the United States and al Qaeda.

    “His opinions on America’s place in the world are pretty different than probably most of those families feel,” Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., told Fox News Digital.

    MAMDANI’S POLITICS LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IDEOLOGY AS NEW YORK VIOLENCE ESCALATES: REPORT

    The families’ plea also points to claims of Mamdani praising and appointing people linked to radical Islam, his comments blaming the United States for the radicalization of al Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki and his recent endorsement of democratic socialist Darializa Aria Chevalier.

    “He’s platformed Islamic extremism, and he openly supports Hamas, as does his wife,” Sheehy claimed. “And Hamas is not just an adjacent organization to all the other Muslim extremists, they’re one of the core members of it.”

    Mamdani has taken fire from many GOP lawmakers over his refusal to call for Hamas to lay down its weapons during an interview last year, as well as for other claims of ties to Islamic extremism and alleging the NYC leader of antisemitism.

    “Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani’s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy,” the petition states.

    “I think he has said some pretty disgusting things and seems to be on that trend line that he’s going to talk like that more and more,” Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., said. “And so I certainly can understand why some of the families feel that way.”

    As of Monday evening, the petition had more than 82,000 signatures in support of the efforts of the families to bar Mamdani from the event.

    “As far as I’m concerned, he’s a disgrace and an embarrassment to the country, but we’ll see if he shows up, right?” Sheehy said.

    After hearing of the petition, Mamdani shared that he still plans to attend this year’s 9/11 commemoration, according to CBS News.

    Mamdani’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

    “At the end of the day, those families should have the say who’s going to show up and honor the memory of their own families,” Sheehy said.

    威斯康星州麦迪逊讯——连续第二周,中西部地区成为左翼与中间派建制派争夺民主党未来的高风险关键战场。

    一周前,极左翼候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在关键密歇根州民主党参议院初选中以微弱优势击败更温和的众议员黑利·史蒂文斯,这场选举成为民主党党内意识形态内战迄今为止最大的舞台,如今焦点转向周二威斯康星州和明尼苏达州的全州提名决战。

    本次选举的利害关系:明尼苏达州将上演顶级参议院对决,这是全国十余场将决定民主党能否从共和党手中夺回参议院控制权的选举之一;而在关键摇摆州威斯康星州,共和党正力争拿下州长职位。

    除明尼苏达州和威斯康星州外,康涅狄格州、佛蒙特州、南卡罗来纳州和阿拉巴马州也将举行初选:康涅狄格州和佛蒙特州的现任州长正寻求连任,以延长其任期;南卡罗来纳州将举行一场竞争已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆继任者的初选,唐纳德·特朗普总统的背书在共和党提名战中的影响力也将在此接受检验。

    “密歇根州证明了劳动人民已经准备好接受不同的选择,威斯康星州将是下一个,”埃尔赛义德获胜后,民主党州长候选人弗朗西斯卡·洪写道。

    洪是州众议员,同时也是美国民主社会主义者成员,在民主党州长提名决战中处于民调领跑位置。今年夏天,两名主要竞争者退选,另有一名候选人重新参选,让这场初选充满变数。

    本次初选获胜者将在大选中大概率对阵共和党众议员汤姆·蒂凡尼。蒂凡尼在共和党州长提名竞选中是民调和筹款双料领跑者,将接替决定不再竞选第三任期的民主党州长托尼·埃弗斯。获得特朗普背书的蒂凡尼是众议院自由核心小组的强硬右翼成员。

    洪现年37岁,曾是厨师,也是单身母亲,获得了多位全国知名进步派人士的背书,包括明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔和加利福尼亚州众议员罗·卡纳——后者是2028年民主党总统候选人的潜在人选。但长期以来的左翼旗手、佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯上周表示,他不打算为洪背书,称自己对她的竞选活动和本次选举不够了解。洪也未能获得另一位顶级进步派领袖、纽约州众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹的背书。

    洪的竞选纲领包括保障带薪休假、将该州最低工资从每小时7.25美元提高到20美元,以及在威斯康星州实施为期一年的人工智能数据中心建设暂停令。洪多年前的社交媒体帖子引发了争议,帖子呼吁削减警察经费并废除警察部门。但她表示,自己不再支持削减警察预算或废除警察部门。

    “我不会削减警察经费,不会废除警察。我对公共安全是认真的,”洪周六在回答选民提问时强调。

    过去两周,洪还因2020年的一条旧社交媒体帖子登上全国新闻头条,当时她声称美国应该“取消感恩节”,以“停止庆祝殖民主义”。在 backlash 声中,洪收回了关于感恩节的言论,现在称感恩节是她“最喜欢的节日”。

    在谈到被重新翻出的推文时,洪周六告诉记者,她已经“成长”并“吸取了教训”。

    蒂凡尼在初选前一天接受采访时,与前弗吉尼亚州州长格伦·扬金共同参加了几场竞选活动。他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,威斯康星州将成为一道“防火墙……我们将成为阻止社会主义的地方”。

    认识2026年中期选举中向民主党宣战的极左翼叛乱分子

    共和党州长候选人汤姆·蒂凡尼告诉福克斯数字频道:“威斯康星州将成为阻止社会主义的地方”

    威斯康星州副州长萨拉·罗德里格斯和前副州长曼德拉·巴恩斯是民主党提名的主要竞争者,两人今年夏天都退出了竞选。此前暂停竞选并支持罗德里格斯的密尔沃基县行政长官戴维·克劳利重新参选。

    克劳利获得了埃弗斯的背书,埃弗斯在初选前的最后阶段加入了他的竞选活动。

    越来越多的温和派民主党人担忧,如果正如许多人预期的那样,洪获得民主党州长提名,这将为蒂凡尼拿下州长办公室助力良多。

    一位要求匿名以便畅所欲言的威斯康星州民主党策略师认为,如果洪作为本党候选人参选,“将伤害民主党在这个中西部摇摆州的下议院选举、关键国会和立法选举”。

    与此同时,包括共和党州长协会支持的一个超级政治行动委员会在内的亲共和党超级政治行动委员会已经斥资数百万美元在初选中为洪造势,因为他们认为洪是最弱的民主党候选人。

    当被问及选举可行性的担忧时,洪周日告诉福克斯新闻:“这场选举属于选民。我们让选民来决定。得票最多的候选人就是最具选举可行性的候选人。所以我们专注于在选举日之前、投票站关闭之前与选民接触。”

    明尼苏达州也上演了民主党内战,进步派副州长佩吉·弗拉南根与更温和的众议员安吉·克雷格是争夺本党提名的两大领跑者。现任参议员、民主党人蒂娜·史密斯将于今年年底退休。

    明尼苏达州已经24年没有选出共和党籍联邦参议员了。但获得桑德斯和另一位重量级进步派人士、马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦背书的弗拉南根如果赢得初选,可能会助力共和党在这个倾向民主党但竞争激烈的州拿下参议院席位。

    前长期电视体育记者转型政治活动家、保守派评论员米歇尔·塔福亚获得了全国共和党参议员委员会的背书,在共和党参议院提名竞选中处于民调和筹款领跑位置。其他主要竞争者包括前海军海豹突击队队员亚当·施瓦茨、2024年参议院候选人、前NBA球员罗伊斯·怀特,以及退役美国海军军官汤姆·韦勒。

    明尼苏达州现任民主党州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹是2024年民主党副总统候选人,今年年初宣布不会寻求第三任期,原因是该州在处理一起重大儿童保育欺诈调查时面临巨大政治压力和全国审视。

    迈尔·林德尔是My Pillow创始人兼前首席执行官,也是特朗普的亲密盟友,曾与特朗普一起否认前总统乔·拜登在2020年白宫选举中的胜利。他与明尼苏达州众议院议长丽莎·德穆特是共和党州长提名的主要竞争者,其他候选人还包括医疗科技高管肯德尔·夸尔斯。

    在南卡罗来纳州,周二的共和党参议院特别初选在格雷厄姆突然去世一个月后举行。格雷厄姆去世时正寻求连任,并已获得连任提名。

    在这场开放提名的决战中,特朗普背书了已故参议员的妹妹达琳·格雷厄姆参议员,共和党州长亨利·麦克马斯特上个月任命她完成剩余的参议院任期。本次初选的其他主要竞争者包括众议员拉尔夫·诺曼、拉塞尔·弗莱,以及前州长、前国会议员马克·桑福德。

    本次初选是对特朗普在共和党提名战中的背书影响力及其对共和党的掌控力的最新考验。但在坚定的红色州南卡罗来纳州,特朗普的背书在本届选举周期中并非万无一失。

    特朗普在6月初该州初选前,背书了副州长帕梅拉·埃维特参加共和党州长提名竞选,以接替任期届满的麦克马斯特。

    埃维特在初选中获得最高票数,但在随后的 runoff 选举中以压倒性劣势输给了南卡罗来纳州总检察长艾伦·威尔逊。特朗普此前曾在 runoff 选举前几天为埃维特背书,此次也为威尔逊背书。

    在深蓝州康涅狄格州,民主党州长内德·拉蒙特正寻求第三任期的连任提名。拉蒙特正面临来自左翼的初选挑战,对手是州众议员乔希·埃利奥特。

    在民主党占主导的佛蒙特州,共和党州长菲尔·斯科特在共和党初选中无人对手,正寻求连任第六届两年任期的州长职位。佛蒙特州和邻近的新罕布什尔州是美国仅有的两个每两年选举一次州长的州。

    前游说团体首席执行官艾丽·理查兹和经济学家阿曼达·贾诺将争夺民主党提名,获胜者将在大选中挑战斯科特。

    在阿拉巴马州,这个坚定的红色州的第一、第二、第六和第七国会选区的选民将参加特别初选。共和党州长凯·艾维在美国最高法院命令阿拉巴马州可以使用2023年共和党绘制的国会选区地图,而非法院要求的包含第二个黑人选民多数席位的地图后,呼吁举行这次特别选举。

    Socialist winning streak puts prized Democratic battleground at risk as radical leftists advance

    Far-left frontrunners Francesca Hong and Peggy Flanagan worry moderate Democrats about general election prospects

    MADISON, Wis. – For a second straight week, the Midwest is the key battlefield in the high-stakes fight between the left-wing and the center-left establishment for the future of the Democratic Party.

    After far-left candidate Abdul El-Sayed narrowly edged out more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens a week ago in battleground Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, which was the biggest stage to date in the party’s ideological civil war, the spotlight now shifts to statewide nomination showdowns Tuesday in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

    At stake: a top-tier Senate showdown in Minnesota that’s among a dozen races nationwide that will determine if the Democrats can win back control of the chamber from the GOP, and a gubernatorial face-off in crucial swing-state Wisconsin where Republicans are aiming to flip the governor’s mansion.

    Also on the ballot, as Minnesota and Wisconsin join Connecticut, Vermont, South Carolina, and Alabama in holding primaries: incumbent governors in Connecticut and Vermont are running to extend their tenures, and the power of President Donald Trump’s endorsement in a GOP nomination contest is on the line in South Carolina, in the race to succeed the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

    “Michigan proved that working people are ready for something different, and Wisconsin is next,” Democratic candidate for governor Francesca Hong wrote following El-Sayed’s victory.

    Hong, a state representative and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, is the polling frontrunner in a Democratic gubernatorial nomination showdown that’s been rocked this summer after two major contenders dropped out, and another candidate re-entered the race.

    The primary winner will likely face off in the general election with Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany, the overwhelming polling and fundraising frontrunner for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, in the race to succeed Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who decided against running for a third term. Tiffany, who is backed by Trump, is a hard-right member of the House Freedom Caucus.

    DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

    Hong, a 37-year-old former chef and single mother, is backed by top nationally known progressives, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ro Khanna of California, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender. But Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a longtime champion of the left, last week said he didn’t plan on endorsing Hong, arguing that he was not familiar enough with her campaign or the race. And Hong also didn’t land the backing of another top progressive champion: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

    Hong is running on a platform that includes guaranteed paid leave, boosting the state’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $20 per hour, and a one-year moratorium in Wisconsin on building AI data centers. Hong has faced scrutiny over years-old social media posts calling for defunding and abolishing the police. But she says she no longer supports cutting police budgets or abolishing police departments.

    “I’m not defunding the police, not abolishing police. I am serious about public safety,” Hong emphasized on Saturday as she took questions from voters.

    Hong also made national headlines over the past two weeks for a resurfaced social media post from 2020 where she argued that the country should “cancel Thanksgiving” in order to “stop celebrating colonialism.”

    Hong walked back her Thanksgiving comments, amid backlash, and now says that Thanksgiving is her “favorite holiday.”

    On her resurfaced tweets, Hong told reporters on Saturday that she has “evolved” and “learned.”

    Tiffany, in an interview on the eve of the primary as he teamed up for a couple of campaign events with former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, told Fox News Digital that Wisconsin will be a “firewall… We’ll be the place that stops socialism.”

    MEET THE FAR LEFT INSURGENTS WAGING WAR ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS

    Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Tom Tiffany tells Fox Digital ‘Wisconsin will be the place that stops socialism”

    Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, two of the major contenders for the Democratic nomination, exited the race this summer. And Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who earlier suspended his campaign and backed Rodriguez, re-entered the contest.

    Crowley is backed by Evers, who joined him on the campaign trail in the closing stretch leading up to the primary.

    There’s a growing number of more moderate Democrats concerned that if Hong captures the gubernatorial nomination, as many expect, it will give Tiffany a big boost in his bid to flip the governor’s office.

    A Wisconsin-based Democratic strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely argued that with Hong at the top of the ticket, “it will hurt Democrats down ballot, in key congressional and legislative races” in the Midwestern battleground.

    Meanwhile, pro-GOP super PACs, including one aligned with the Republican Governors Association, have shelled out millions of dollars to boost Hong in the primary, because they view her as the weakest Democratic candidate.

    Asked about electability concerns, Hong told Fox News on Sunday that “this election belongs to the voters. We let the voters decide. The candidate that’s the most electable is the one that earns the most votes. So we’re focused on meeting voters up until Election Day, until the polls close.”

    TRUMP-BACKED CANDIDATE SOUNDS ALARM IN WISCONSIN: ‘COMMON SENSE AGAINST CRAZY’

    The Democratic Party’s civil war is also on display in Minnesota, as progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and more moderate Rep. Angie Craig are the top two contenders battling for the party’s nomination. The current senator, Democrat Tina Smith, is retiring at the end of this year.

    It’s been 24 years since a Republican won a U.S. Senate election in Minnesota. But a primary victory by Flanagan, who is backed by Sanders and another progressive heavyweight, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, may boost the GOP hopes of flipping the seat in a blue-leaning but competitive state.

    Former longtime TV sports reporter turned political activist and conservative commentator Michele Tafoya, who is backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is the polling and fundraising frontrunner in the GOP Senate nomination race. The field also includes former Navy SEAL Adam Schwarze, 2024 Senate nominee Royce White, a former NBA basketball player, and retired U.S. Navy officer Tom Weiler.

    Embattled Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, announced at the beginning of the year that he wouldn’t seek a third term as governor amid heavy political pressure and national scrutiny over the state’s handling of a major child care fraud investigation.

    Longtime Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar is the overwhelming frontrunner for the party’s gubernatorial nomination.

    Mike Lindell, the My Pillow founder and former CEO who is a close Trump ally who joined the president in denying former President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 White House race, is a leading contender for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, along with Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth. The field also includes healthcare technology executive Kendall Qualls.

    In South Carolina, Tuesday’s special Republican Senate primary is being held one month to the day after Graham’s sudden death. At the time of his death, Graham was seeking re-election and had won renomination.

    In the showdown for the open nomination, Trump is backing the late senator’s younger sister, Sen. Darline Graham, whom GOP Gov. Henry McMaster appointed last month to serve the remainder of the current Senate term. Among the other major contenders in the primary sprint are Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry and Mark Sanford, a former governor and former congressman.

    The primary is the latest test of Trump’s Republican endorsement clout and his sway over the GOP. But the Trump endorsement hasn’t proven to be a sure bet this cycle in solidly-red South Carolina.

    Trump backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette for the GOP gubernatorial nomination — in the race to succeed the term-limited McMaster — ahead of the state’s early June primary.

    Evette was the top vote-getter in the primary but lost the ensuing runoff election against South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson in a landslide. And Trump, ever hungry for a victory, endorsed Wilson in addition to Evette days before the runoff.

    In deep-blue Connecticut, Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont is running for renomination for a third term. Lamont is facing a primary challenge from the left, from state Rep. Josh Elliott.

    And in Democrat-dominated Vermont, Republican Gov. Phil Scott is unopposed in the GOP primary, as he seeks a sixth two-year term as governor. Vermont and neighboring New Hampshire are the only two states in the nation to elect governors every two years.

    Former lobbying group CEO Aly Richards and economist Amanda Janoo are facing off for the Democratic nomination, with the winner challenging Scott in the general election.

    In Alabama, voters in the reliably red state’s 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts go to the polls in special primary elections. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey called for the special contests after a U.S. Supreme Court order allowed Alabama to use a 2023 GOP-drawn congressional district map instead of a court-ordered one that included a second Black-majority seat.

  • 奥巴马核心盟友曝光:哪位极左翼候选人必须落败才能帮助进步派获胜


    2026年8月11日 美国东部时间5:30 / 福克斯新闻

    这位奥巴马阵营的战略家称洪为“古怪自由派、学院派空想的源泉”,认为她可能拖累其他进步派候选人

    威斯康星州民主党州长竞选领跑者弗朗西斯卡·洪在该州初选选举前夕接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访。

    新功能:你现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了!

    巴拉克·奥巴马总统竞选活动的核心策划者之一大卫·阿克塞尔罗德认为,如果按他的说法,某位不够严肃的候选人在即将到来的初选中落败,其他进步派候选人或许会有更大的胜选机会。

    “对阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德来说,如果弗朗西斯卡·洪在下周威斯康星州民主党提名竞选中失利,那将是件好事,”阿克塞尔罗德在X平台的一篇帖子中写道。

    “他是个严肃的人。而她则是古怪自由派、学院派空想的源泉。但共和党人……肯定会试图将阿卜杜勒和洪塑造成思想上的同类。”

    阿克塞尔罗德的言论似乎表明,尽管进步派在2026年中期选举中近期取得了成功,但党内对进步派人士的评价并不一致——即便在进步派内部,部分人也被视为政治负担。

    “这条推文完美解释了为什么顾问阶层总是输掉选举。他们完全 clueless(毫无头绪),还一心要把工薪阶层排除在政坛之外,”洪在谈及阿克塞尔罗德的X帖子时写道。“我在厨房工作的时间比在学院休息室多得多。或许你愿意来威斯康星州,和我一起经历一个周五晚上的晚餐高峰时段?”

    洪是威斯康星州议会议员,目前正竞选该州下一任州长,她倡导的一系列政策将她牢牢定位在进步派阵营。

    她呼吁普及儿童保育,支持每小时20美元的最低工资,主张废除移民海关执法局(ICE),认为即便非公民也应获得州政府发放的身份证件,呼吁建立公立超市,并反对美国继续支持以色列。

    洪还自称是社会主义者,得到了美国民主社会主义者(DSA)的支持。

    除政策主张外,洪还因在文化和社会议题上的激进言论引发关注。

    她近期因过往言论受到审查:包括呼吁美国人因殖民时代天花传播而“取消感恩节”,呼吁因警察强化白人至上主义而“废除警察”,甚至在2021年参议院投票否决对特朗普的弹劾案后,呼吁废除参议院。

    尽管她试图为部分被重新翻出的言论辩解,但洪几乎没有试图将自己塑造为温和派。

    “我是一名自豪的民主社会主义者。我不是在打造品牌。我专注于能够改善民生的政策,也就是社会主义政策,”洪上周在接受NOTUS采访时说道。

    洪的竞选团队未回应有关阿克塞尔罗德帖子的置评请求,也未回应她是否认为共和党会利用她的立场抹黑其他进步派人士。

    竞选初期,洪被视为黑马候选人。

    但上个月,该州前副州长曼德拉·巴恩斯退出竞选,打乱了竞选格局。巴恩斯因与即将卸任的州长托尼·埃弗斯关系密切且知名度高,曾被视为该竞选的领跑者。

    Top Obama ally reveals which far-left candidate needs to lose to help progressives win

    The Obama strategist called Hong a ‘font of zany liberal, faculty lounge exotica’ who could hurt other progressives

    Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner candidate Francesca Hong answers questions for Fox News Digital on the eve of the state’s primary elections.

    David Axelrod, one of the architects behind President Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, believes other progressives might stand a better chance of getting elected if, in his view, one of their more unserious candidates loses an upcoming primary.

    “It would be good for Abdul El-Sayed if Francesca Hong loses her bid to become the Democratic nominee in Wisconsin next week,” Axelrod wrote in a post to X.

    “He is a serious person. She is a font of zany liberal, faculty lounge exotica. But the Republicans … would surely try to link Abdul and Hong as philosophical kin.”

    Axelrod’s comments seem to indicate that despite their recent success in the 2026 midterms, not all progressives are viewed equally across the party — that some of them are seen as political liabilities even among themselves.

    “This tweet is a perfect example of why the consultant class keeps losing elections. They’re totally clueless, and they’re hellbent on keeping working-class people out of politics,” Hong wrote about Axelrod’s X post. “I’ve spent more time in kitchens than faculty lounges. Perhaps you’d like to come to Wisconsin and work a Friday night dinner rush with me?”

    Hong, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly who is running to become the next governor of Wisconsin, has advocated for a wide slew of policies that put her solidly in the progressive camp.

    She has called for universal childcare, supports a $20 minimum wage, advocated for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), believes even noncitizens should have access to state-issued ID, has called for publicly run grocery stores and opposes continued U.S. support for Israel.

    Hong is also a self-proclaimed socialist with the backing of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

    WISCONSIN DEM SOCIALIST GUBERNATORIAL HOPEFUL DODGES WHETHER SHE STILL WANTS TO ‘ABOLISH POLICE’

    Apart from policy proposals, Hong has also attracted attention for cultural and social issues that have pushed the rhetorical envelope.

    She has recently come under scrutiny for past calls for Americans to cancel Thanksgiving because of the spread of smallpox during the colonial era, defund the police because of their reinforcement of White supremacy and even calls to abolish the Senate after the chamber voted to acquit Trump during a failed impeachment effort in 2021.

    Although she has tried to push back on some of those resurfaced comments, Hong has also made little effort to paint herself as a moderate.

    “I’m a proud democratic socialist. I’m not advancing a brand. I’m focusing on the policies, the socialist policies that improve lives,” Hong told NOTUS last week.

    Hong’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment on Axelrod’s post or on whether she believes Republicans will try to discredit other progressives through her positions.

    At the outset of the race, Hong was considered a dark horse candidate.

    But the race was shaken up last month when Mandela Barnes, the state’s former lieutenant governor, dropped out of the race. Barnes was considered a frontrunner in the race because of his proximity to outgoing Gov. Tony Evers and his name recognition.

    With his departure, Hong, who had already gained sizable momentum, and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley were left as the two main contenders.

    Evers has endorsed Crowley, citing his tenure as a public servant.
