Pete Buttigieg endorses Independent, not Democrat candidate

Pete Buttigieg sides with independent over Democratic nominee in Montana Senate race

Pete Buttigieg has endorsed independent Seth Bodnar over his own party’s nominee in Montana’s open Senate race, a move that exposes Democratic doubts about winning in deep-red states.

ABC News reported that the former transportation secretary is backing Bodnar, a Green Beret and former University of Montana president running as an independent, rather than Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead.

The endorsement was shared first with the network. Buttigieg did not mention Bankhead in his statement. The race is for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Steve Daines, with former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme running as the Republican.

Buttigieg framed the choice around service and results, not party loyalty.

Will Fetterman become an Independent?

Carville predicts Fetterman will leave the Democratic Party: 'I don't think there's any doubt'

James Carville, the veteran Democratic operative who helped elect Bill Clinton, went on CNN Friday and said what much of Washington has been whispering for months: he expects Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania to leave the Democratic Party. Wolf Blitzer pressed Carville on the question during an on-air exchange, and Carville did not hedge.

The prediction lands at a moment when Fetterman's own words, votes, and alliances have already built a compelling case that he is halfway out the door. What remains unclear is whether the Pennsylvania senator jumps to the GOP, declares himself an independent, or simply continues to operate as a Democrat who agrees with his party less and less on the issues that matter most.

But Carville's public assessment, from a man who has spent decades inside the Democratic machine, strips away any pretense that this is just media speculation. When one of your own party's most recognizable strategists tells a national audience that a sitting senator is likely gone, the fracture is no longer theoretical.

Former Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia walked the same path, eventually leaving the party and registering as an independent.
"My observation, and recommendation from observation, would be, John, trust me, set yourself free and become an independent. It's liberating."

John Fetterman calls Democrat Party "an Orgy of Socialism"

Fetterman condemns his own party's leftward lurch after New York primary results

Sen. John Fetterman called the Democratic Party "an orgy of socialism" after far-left candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept Democratic primaries in the city, ousting incumbents and defeating centrist challengers in races that have forced an uncomfortable reckoning inside the party.

Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat who has increasingly broken with his caucus, did not hold back. In a post on X dated June 24, 2026, and in a subsequent interview with Fox News, he described the winning candidates as anti-American radicals and questioned why he stands alone among Senate Democrats in refusing to defend them.

The primary results, and the reaction from figures like Fetterman and longtime Democratic strategist James Carville, expose a fault line that the party's leadership has tried to paper over for years.

The question now is whether the Democratic establishment can hold its coalition together, or whether the socialist wing has already taken the wheel.

"Biden''s asleep at the wheel"

Former Supporter Who Fundraised Millions for Obama Flips to Trump

Have you ever heard of a Republican changing party affiliation to Democrat? No, me either

Huynh, along with her then-husband Google programmer Scott Hassan, helped raise millions of dollars for the Obama campaign in 2008. She recently discussed her departure from the Democrat Party and her newfound support for Trump. She will now be an Independent.

Allison Huynh said that there isn’t a single cause for her departure but rather a chain of events. She elaborated by saying that the Democrat Party is too concerned with policing non-criminals and ignoring the need to make neighborhoods safer.

She said that the Democrats were enforcing the incorrect policies. She claimed that our city needs to crack down on a number of issues, including the prevalence of violent crime in San Francisco, instances of public defecation, heroin overdoses seen by her children, and the practice of letting shoplifters parade through grocery stores and causing their closures. She was upset that there were no grocery stores around anymore.

Huynh told the media that she went to a Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago not long ago and was surprised by her interaction with the former President. She said that Trump was knowledgeable, humorous, and lighthearted. Huynh expressed her satisfaction with Trump’s understanding of current events and the economy.

MAGA Supporter George Santos to run as an Independent

George Santos Announces Decision to Leave GOP, Run as an Independent

In a surprising turn of events, former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) took to the internet on Friday to declare his departure from the Republican Party.

Instead, he revealed his decision to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming New York House race this autumn.

In a momentous vote last December, Santos was ousted from the House after being hit with numerous federal fraud charges.

“I am officially suspending my petitioning in #NY01 to access the ballot as a Republican and will be filing to run as an independent. I will take my Ultra MAGA/Trump supporting values to the ballot in November as an Independent.” Santos said on X.

In his address, Santos made the announcement that he intends to run for office once again, going up against Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.).

In a recent post, Santos highlighted the disappointing performance in the House following the approval of a spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown.
