New York State Assemblymember Alex Bores is running in the June 23 Democratic primary for an open U.S. House seat in Manhattan, arguing that Washington should adopt safety and transparency rules for the most powerful artificial intelligence systems. The stance has drawn opposition spending from an AI-aligned super PAC, while a separate network linked to Anthropic has backed his campaign, adding to a crowded and costly race.
Our Revolution, a group backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, has endorsed billionaire Tom Steyer in California's Democratic gubernatorial primary despite its opposition to billionaires. The endorsement marks the first time the organization has backed a billionaire for public office. Steyer leads polling among Democrats ahead of the June 2 top-two primary.
