In the 2026 Missouri primary, with about 26% of votes counted, Wesley Bell led Cori Bush 70% to 25%.

AIPAC's affiliated spending in the Michigan Senate primary was about $30 million.
CBS Detroit reported nearly $30 million in AIPAC-affiliated spending supporting Stevens, described as the organization's largest single-race investment. The broad attribution and comparison to both Bell and Bowman are not established by the cited reporting.
-

Republicans performed strongly in North Dakota in 2010, including retaining control of both legislative chambers and defeating Democratic congressman Earl Pomeroy.

Mallory McMorrow criticized El-Sayed for campaigning with Hasan Piker, and Piker had campaigned for other Democratic candidates.
Reporting documents McMorrow’s criticism of El-Sayed’s association with Piker. Separate reporting says Piker campaigned for Democratic candidates, including Adam Hamawy in New Jersey.
-
As of the time of the discussion, Abdul El-Sayed was leading Haley Stevens in the primary count.
This is framed as a contemporaneous assessment rather than a final result. With 95% of votes counted on August 5, 2026, El-Sayed led Stevens 48.6% to 47.4%, although the race was not yet called.
-
The initial congressional Squad consisted of four progressive women elected in 2018.
The original group commonly known as “The Squad” consisted of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, all first elected to Congress in the 2018 midterms. “Powerful,” “interesting,” and “outsider politics” are characterizations, but the four-member 2018 description is factual.

AIPAC-backed candidates went 0 for 3 in New York primaries.
The transcript does not identify the three New York races or candidates, and the available sources do not establish which races the speaker is counting. Without that defined set, the numerical claim cannot be reliably checked.
-
Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District after AIPAC-backed opposition.
Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District. Contemporary reporting described his opponents as benefiting from substantial spending by a super PAC previously funded by an AIPAC-aligned group.
-
More than 100 members of Congress recently voted for money for offensive weapons for Israel.
The documented vote involving more than 100 House Democrats was a vote to restrict or end military aid to Israel, not a vote to approve money for offensive weapons. The claim reverses the direction and substance of the vote.
-
Abdul El-Sayed won a Michigan primary despite facing about $1 million in opposition spending.
The claim understates the documented scale of spending against El-Sayed and appears to mischaracterize the approximately $1 million figure. Reporting put AIPAC-affiliated spending for Stevens at nearly $30 million, while El-Sayed had about $1 million in outside spending of his own.
-
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez conducted a Fighting Oligarchy tour.
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez did conduct a public 'Fighting Oligarchy' rally tour. The additional assertion that Slotkin belittled them is an attribution not established by the cited sources, but the underlying tour reference is factual.
-
Donald Trump repeatedly used the phrase “too big to rig” during the 2024 campaign while falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen or rigged.
Contemporary reporting documented Trump repeatedly using “too big to rig” in 2024 and continuing to promote the false claim that widespread fraud caused his 2020 loss.
-
Democrats, including Representative Jamie Raskin, have publicly and privately adopted the phrase “too big to rig” or a similar message for the 2026 election.
A Democratic-aligned voter organization uses the slogan “Make 2026 too big to rig,” but the available reliable evidence does not establish the broader attribution to the Democratic Party, nor specifically to Representative Jamie Raskin, including the claimed private use.
