Votes still being counted but election has been called

According to Decision Desk HQ, the field for the midterms for the gubernatorial race for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to replace Republican Charlie Baker has been decided Tuesday night.The Associated Press:BOSTON (AP) — Geoff Diehl, a former state representative endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has won the Republican nomination for Massachusetts governor over businessman Chris Doughty, who was considered the more moderate candidate in the race.The victory for Diehl sets up a general election contest against Democratic Attorney General Maura Healey, who would be the first openly gay person and the first woman elected governor if she wins in...

On the eve of the Massachusetts primary election, former president Donald J. Trump will appear live in a telephone rally supporting GOP gubernatorial hopeful Geoff Diehl, who he endorsed in October, and who has trumpeted Trump’s false claims the 2020 election was rigged. Diehl, who served as the honorary state cochair of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, has leaned into the former president’s brand throughout his run. In February, he brought on longtime Trump confidant and former adviser Corey Lewandowski as a strategist. The news of the telephone rally was first announced Thursday morning by Lewandowski on conservative radio host Jeff...

Jennifer Nassour, the former Mass GOP chair, said it would be the “end of the Republican party in Massachusetts” if Geoff Diehl defeats Gov. Charlie Baker in a potential primary election. Nassour joined WBZ-TV political analyst Jon Keller to discuss the state of the Republican party in Massachusetts and other topics. Nassour was critical of current Mass GOP chair Jim Lyons. “You are all one family and you support your family. You see that over and over again with the Democratic party in Massachusetts. Even though they might battle it out and fight, they do support their own,” she said....

Boy, has President Trump got Gov. Charlie Baker’s number. I had POTUS on my radio show Monday and he generally seemed in a pretty mellow mood — he just chuckled when I played for him the soundbite of Dementia Joe Biden last week falsely bragging that “I started the vaccination program.” But when it comes to Baker — and at least one other RINO governor — it appears that Trump is on a revenge tour. Last week he endorsed ex-Rep. Geoff Diehl, Baker’s opponent in the GOP primary, so I asked Trump to expand on how he came to his...

GOP gubernatorial candidate Geoff Diehl has landed a big deal endorsement. Former President Donald Trump is throwing his support behind the conservative candidate in a race where rivals are still lining up and Gov. Charlie Baker has yet to declare. “Baker is bad on crime, disrespects our police, does nothing for our Veterans, has totally botched the Vaccination rollout, presided over the collapse of the MBTA, and has seen crime go to record levels,” Trump said in his endorsement Tuesday night. Diehl has branded himself as a conservative counterweight in a race where most of the other candidates swing far...

Democrat Representative David Nangle was arrested by the FBI and IRS on a 28-count indictment that includes a wide variety of corruption charges. Some of those charges include, at this time, bank fraud, wire fraud, lying to a bank, and even filing false tax returns...

In the Last debate between Liz Warren and Geoff Diehl a question was asked about an Campaign Finance Investigation that has been opened up looking into Warren using the Kavanaugh Hearings as a fund raising Vehicle. The question was asked by the panelist ( assume they were liberal ) and the next minute and 1/2 are priceless as she stammers and has a deer in the headlights look.Go here for the Video: https://twitter.com/DiehlForSenate/status/1057437255428648962

GOP Senate candidate Geoff Diehl is being backed today by Vice President Mike Pence in the first concrete sign of national support for the Whitman state rep. The Diehl campaign tells the Herald today that the vice president is putting out a fund-raising appeal around noon asking Republican donors to help the underdog candidate in his quest to topple U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren. A copy of that email blast obtained by the Herald states, in part: "As we rapidly approach the pivotal 2018 midterm elections, one race stands out: commonsense conservative Massachusetts Republican Geoff Diehl's challenge against radical leftist Democrat...

Nope: A top police union in Boston is refusing to endorse Democratic Sen. Elizabeth “Fauxcohontas” Warren in her reelection bid because of her Left-wing anti-police activism and “derogatory” remarks. The Boston Herald reported that the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association will not give her its endorsement because during her time in the Senate she has called the criminal justice system “racist” which proves she doesn’t “stand” with law enforcement.

**SNIP** The Globe examined hundreds of documents, many of them never before available, and reached out to all 52 of the law professors who are still living and were eligible to be in that Pound Hall room at Harvard Law School. Some are Warren’s allies. Others are not. Thirty-one agreed to talk to the Globe — including the law professor who was, at the time, in charge of recruiting minority faculty. Most said they were unaware of her claims to Native American heritage and all but one of the 31 said those claims were not discussed as part of her...

State Rep. Geoff Diehl will face U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in November, in a sneak preview of the much-predicted Warren-Trump contest of 2020. Diehl took the three-way GOP primary over Beth Lindstrom and John Kingston tonight. The economy, smaller government and funding to make schools safer were among the issues that dominated in last night’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, as voters decided which candidate will take on Warren in November.

The big difference in President Donald Trump's re-election campaign in 2020 could be the level of support he receives from the black community. And, the man most despised by the black community could become the most pro-black president of the modern era. A Rasmussen poll released last week indicates growing support for Trump among blacks. A big part of that is economics. For the first time ever, black unemployment has fallen below six percent. That means record numbers of black men, women, and youth are employed. Trump has created opportunities where for decades, the Democrats have offered only unfulfilled promises....

Complete Headline: 'Real Indian' running against Sen. Elizabeth Warren sues after city tells him to stop calling her 'Fake Indian' A self-described "real Indian" who is running against Mass. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is suing after city officials demanded he take down his signs calling her a "fake Indian." The upstart independent Senate challenger, Shiva Ayyadurai, on Sunday filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the demand from the city of Cambridge violates his constitutional free speech rights, according to The Washington Times. Since March 17, Ayyadurai's campaign bus has sported two identical signs picturing himself and a rendition of Warren...
