PRIMARY SEASON REACHES HALFPOINT AS RACE STILL HEATS UP
-More than 25 out of the 50 states in the country now had or will be having their primaries as the primary season hits its midpoint, just a month away from the party conventions in July. 7 states will have their primaries this coming Friday. Missisini, Lawrence, Arsenia, Montgomery, Idaho, Franklin and Sierra will altogether have 791 delegates for the Democrats and 805 for the Unionists, making this one of the biggest delegations to win, which may give a leg up to aspiring democratic candidates as current front runner Gov. Evasco faces charges of misconduct when he was governor, including an alleged mistress. Meanwhile the GOP is still in a fierce fight between the top two contenders, Sen. Ulan and Matt Calderan, but the 3rd placer, Gov. Pasey surprisingly took a very right turn as he met with ultra conservative religious leaders in Jefferson City, Jefferson, in the 51st National Conservative Forum. The governor spoke of "bringing back the old order in the country" and "religion is an important part of governing". A far cry from his modest stance all throughout his career. Senior Political Analyst and Political Sciences Professor Richard Haydarian said that this change of stance of the governor is a political move, and not so much of a personal move. As he sees his number slips down the polls, the once front runner of the GOP is now at a far cry behind the tied top contenders. So far the election season is still kicking, as we await who will clinch their party nominations and face off at the general elections this November.
GOV. EVASCO FACES MORE RAPS ON ALLEGED MISCONDUCT; AFFAIR
-More raps are on the way of the Democratic Front runner as a woman by the name of Martha Stewarts came out as the governor's alleged mistress. Ms. Stewarts, now 34, was interviewed in Good Morning Arizelon at CBS. She said that she was compelled to come out due to the report of the Manhattan Globe, she said that the newspaper's reports of the story where true but there is more to it. But she declined to further elaborate for security concerns, saying she will try to file a case on court against the Governor for alleged assault, saying that he was quite physical on their alleged year long affair. The interview garnered alot of attention on social media, with
