Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a Democratic identity politics clash over the 2028 primary calendar, Michele Tafoya pulling ahead in Minnesota's GOP Senate primary, New Jersey registering noncitizens to vote, and an Arizona House race with a New York Jets twist.
First, Jim and Greg watch identity politics turn inward as South Carolina and Nevada battle over the 2028 Democratic primary schedule. South Carolina Democratic chair Christale Spain warned that elevating Nevada tells Black voters they matter less than "brown voters." Greg notes identity politics always eats its own.
Next, they cover good news in Minnesota, where friend of the show Michele Tafoya leads the Republican U.S. Senate primary with 41 percent. Jim and Greg praise her polished delivery and anti-fraud campaign ad, though they worry Mike Lindell's lead in the governor's primary could weigh down the ticket.
Then, they dig into New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitting a Motor Vehicle Commission software error registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote and allowed roughly 400 illegal votes. Jim questions why officials hid the two-year-old glitch, while Greg argues voter registration should not be a casual DMV add-on.
Finally, they highlight an Arizona toss-up congressional race featuring a New York Jets connection. Former NFL kicker Jay Feely won the GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District and will likely face Democrat Amish Shah, the team's former doctor. Jim and Greg note the winner could help determine control of the U.S. House.
