Young Conservatives Loomer and Paulina Luna Decisively Win Primaries In Florida
Despite crowded primary races for both, young conservatives Laura Loomer and Anna Paulina Luna won their primaries in the Sunshine State. Both won decisively — Loomer got 42 percent of the vote in a five-person race, in a district that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Luna won 36 percent against four other Republicans.
Loomer has been a controversial activist and candidate — she is banned from CPAC, GoFundMe, Venmo, MGM Resorts, PayPal, Lyft, Uber and Uber Eats. She is banned from most social media sites and yet the 27-year-old won her race handily. The Palm Beach district is heavily Democratic, however, so her November odds appear slim.
Loomer was seemingly banned from Comcast right before her election, not allowing her to send texts or emails. The company alleges it wasn’t the content she was sending, but the third-party apps she used, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Trump retweeted several tweets supporting Loomer and celebrating her victory.
Paulina Luna is an Air Force veteran who will face Charlie Crist in November. She beat all the other Republicans, including Amanda Makki, who was a former aide to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Ala.).
Like Loomer’s district, Paulina Luna is facing a solid blue district in November. The President congratulated her on the victory last night.
Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday which bans virtually all abortions “from the moment of fertilization.”
“I promised Oklahomans that as governor I would sign every piece of pro-life legislation that came across my desk and I am proud to keep that promise today. From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother,” Stitt said in a statement. “That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe.”
The state legislature first approved the bill, which goes into effect immediately, last week. It bans abortions from the moment of fertilization, except for in cases where rape or incest occurred, or where the mother’s life is in danger.
The law also allows for private citizens to sue doctors or those who participate in “producing an abortion for up to $10,000, mimicking the enforcement mechanism in Texas’s fetal heartbeat law” reports National Review.
Under the new law it is a felony offense to perform an abortion, “which will take effect in August unless a court challenge blocks it.”
