Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Voters in Omaha, Nebraska just elected their first Black mayor, Democrat John Ewing Jr., in a historic shift, ousting a three-term Republican who has held that office since 2013. Some political observers say it's the shape of things to come, as President Donald Trump's favorability continues to drop and prices continue to rise, with more instability " economic and political " expected ahead. Ewing, a former deputy police chief, beat Jean Stothert, who tried to embrace the MAGA agenda without fully embracing President Trump. "Omaha's Republican mayor Jean Stothert was a 12-year incumbent, once seen as untouchable," observed Democratic pollster and strategist Matt McDermott. "Then she endorsed Trump, ran on anti-trans bathroom bans " and lost decisively. A clear rejection of MAGA at the ballot box."
