## Resource

Hour 1 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Sen. Bill Cassidy, who was one of seven Republican senators who voted to impeach President Trump in the wake of the January 6th protests, finished last in Friday’s Republican primary in Louisiana. California Republicans appear energized heading into the state’s closely watched June 2 primary, holding an early turnout advantage as Democrats scramble to unite behind a candidate in multiple key races. Figures from research firm Political Data Inc. show that 905,889 ballots had already been returned as of Saturday. Republicans accounted for 37 percent of those ballots. Socialist Nithya Raman, who is running for LA mayor, wants to ban backyard BBQs. Democratic Michigan congressional candidate Shelby Campbell is making headlines again. This time it's for TikTok videos of her twerking. We've talked about her before. Campbell suggested she decided to do many things — including running for the House — “out of spite” for a former significant other who broke up with her 10 years ago. This is the same candidate that laughed at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. She posted on Instagram, “Hey, MAGA. How bad does it hurt that Jimmy Kimmel is back but you guys can’t get your person back?” She then laughed.
