Charlamagne Tha God warns Democrats 'don't get comfortable' after winning House and Senate
Radio host Charlamagne Tha God warned Democrats not to let their midterm success go to their heads, warning they need to take action to show they are committed to serving their voters.
"But here's why I need Democrats to pay close attention. Don't get comfortable because, you know, a Democrat victory has not proved that they've earned lasting trust. Americans rejected MAGA and Republicans, but that doesn't automatically mean they trust Democrats," he warned.
"I don't want to hear another two years of Democrats telling us how dangerous Donald Trump is. We know that. OK? That's why there was such a rebuke of Trump last night.
"We know he's dangerous. That's why y'all won. I have one question. OK? What the F are you going to do with the power that we the people just gave you, Democrats? OK?"

Charlamagne then demanded Democrats address a number of issues when they take office.
"You got the House, you got the Senate. So, come January, I want to see an actual agenda. What's your plan to lower housing costs? Are you going to build more affordable housing? What about healthcare? Are you going to fight to lower premiums, protect Medicaid? Are you going to stop Americans from going broke because they got sick? What about wages?" he asked.
"People are working two and three jobs and still can't afford to live. What are you going to do to make sure a full-time job can actually support a family?" Charlamagne continued.
"And while we're at it, what about all this corruption we've seen? And are we going to get real investigations into conflicts of interest? Huh? Government contracts and politicians using public office to enrich themselves? I hope so."
Theo Wold, a former White House deputy assistant for domestic policy in Trump’s first term, called Charlamagne's comments "clueless" in comments to Fox News Digital.
"Once again, Charlamagne shows how clueless he is," Wold said. "He, like so many voters who cast ballots for Democrats, labors under the misunderstanding that Democrats have a platform or any intention of addressing affordability, healthcare or the flat-lining wages for working families.
"Democrats will do exactly what revolutionary ideologues have always done: move to consolidate their power and permanently alter governing institutions."

Wold warned that Democrats would try to push radical changes like abolishing the Electoral College as a pretext for tackling affordability concerns.
"But, in reality, Democrats will do exactly as they’ve promised: punish their enemies and radically transform our nation," he added.
Charlamagne also credited Democrats for shifting away from culture war messaging and focusing on voters' economic concerns.
"Ain't no talk of wokeness," he said. "There's no talk [of] identity politics. They're out there talking about affordability. And you got some really great quality candidates on the Democratic side.
"And man, last night people voted their interest. It wasn't about party. It wasn't about, you know, that MAGA cult. It was about, you know what, I got to go out here and vote my interest. I'm getting my a-- kicked financially.’"
New Jersey pre-K aide faces 61 charges, accused of filming himself sexually assaulting students at school
A former New Jersey elementary school aide who worked with pre-K students for roughly four years is facing dozens of criminal charges, including aggravated sexual assault and manufacturing child sexual abuse material, after investigators discovered numerous images and videos of students on his electronic devices, prosecutors said.
Shaun M. Stebbins, 44, worked at Woodbine Elementary School in Cape May County from February 2022 until his arrest in neighboring Atlantic County on March 29, according to the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office.
The investigation expanded into Cape May County after authorities in Atlantic County and Somers Point notified prosecutors in April that a separate sexual assault investigation involving Stebbins at his home had uncovered suspected crimes in the neighboring county.
A search of Stebbins' devices allegedly revealed numerous images and videos of Woodbine Elementary School students, prosecutors said. Authorities did not disclose how many students were involved or provide details about when the material was recorded.
According to court documents, Stebbins filmed and performed sex acts on children in a school bathroom and during nap time, ABC7 reported.
Cape May County prosecutors announced 61 charges against Stebbins on Oct. 30, including 29 counts of manufacturing child pornography, five counts of aggravated sexual assault, 13 counts of sexual assault by sexual contact and 14 counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
The manufacturing and aggravated sexual assault charges are first-degree offenses that can carry prison sentences of 10 to 20 years under New Jersey law.
The remaining charges are second-degree offenses, typically punishable by five to 10 years in prison.

Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland said his office continues to investigate the case.
"Children are among our most vulnerable population, and we have a responsibility to protect their safety and well-being. Anyone who harms a child will be held accountable through our justice system."
Stebbins remains in the Atlantic County Correctional Facility pending court proceedings.
The Woodbine School District, the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office and the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.
Prosecutors are asking anyone with information about the investigation to contact the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office Special Victims Unit at 609-465-1135 or submit an anonymous tip at cmcpo.tips.
West Hollywood unanimously passes ordinance granting protections for polyamorous relationships
West Hollywood, California, unanimously passed a city ordinance Monday that would allow citizens in "multipartner domestic relationships" to receive protections under city law.
"It is hereby declared as the public policy of the City of West Hollywood that it is necessary to recognize and protect the right and opportunity of all persons to have multi-partner domestic relationships formally recognized and respected, and to be free from discrimination on account of their partnership in a multi-partner domestic relationship," the ordinance read.
"Diverse relationship structures, including relationship structures involving more than two adults engaged in a loving, committed, and consensual relationship, are becoming increasingly common."
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH FACES INTERNAL REVOLT AFTER PROPOSING CLERGY MUST BE IN MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIPS
The West Hollywood City Council voted 5-0 to allow people within a relationship involving three or more people to sign a statement with the city clerk. The declaration would grant qualifying partners certain rights, including hospital and jail visitation rights.
However, the ordinance would not officially recognize polyamorous relationships as a "marriage" or a registered domestic partnership in violation of state or federal law. Still, West Hollywood is one of only a handful of local governments that have enacted some form of protection for multipartner relationships.
Fox News Digital reached out to the City of West Hollywood's communications department for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
In a comments to Fox News Digital, University of Virginia professor and Institute for Family Studies senior fellow Brad Wilcox lamented the passing of this ordinance for potentially normalizing polyamory and paving the way for polygamy.
"The dangers of legally recognizing polyamorous relationships are twofold," he said. "First, it normalizes households where children live with adults who are not related to them by birth or adoption, an arrangement the research consistently links to higher risks for kids.
"Second, it paves the way for polygamy, which the scholarly literature shows fuels gender inequality and hurts child well-being, because wives and children end up competing for a man’s attention and resources.
"So, what seems like a progressive move here in West Hollywood can lead to some illiberal destinations that are bad for women and children."
MASSACHUSETTS CITY RECOGNIZES POLYAMOROUS RELATIONSHIPS IN NEW DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP ORDINANCE
West Hollywood first passed an anti-discrimination ordinance to protect polyamorous relationships in March. This latest ordinance will go into effect 30 days after it was adopted.
Top-ranked Miami faces nightmare injury concern as star receiver Malachi Toney set to undergo ankle surgery
Miami's highly anticipated showdown against Notre Dame on Saturday night had another layer added to the storylines on Wednesday, as the health of Heisman Trophy contender Malachi Toney will now linger over the next month.
The No. 1 Hurricanes were already underdogs heading into the matchup in South Bend, but now head coach Mario Cristobal will be without his top playmaker on offense besides quarterback Darian Mensah.
During practice on Wednesday, Malachi Toney suffered an injury to his ankle that forced the wide receiver to leave practice and head straight to a local facility to be evaluated for what could be a massive hit to the Hurricanes' national title hopes.
While there was some optimism earlier in the afternoon that this could end up being an injury that doesn’t keep Toney off the field on Saturday night, there was obviously growing concern later on in the day that this could potentially keep Malachi off the field for an extended period of time.
"Malachi Toney sustained an injury during Wednesday’s practice and is currently undergoing further evaluation by the team’s medical staff," Miami said in a statement earlier on Wednesday. "We will share additional updates as appropriate."
Now, the star wide receiver will undergo surgery on his ankle, after an MRI and X-ray were done on Wednesday evening, as CBS Sports first reported.
Toney suffered a high-ankle sprain, according to sources, and will undergo the infamous "TightRope" surgery that Miami is hoping will have the star wide receiver return for the College Football Playoff in four to six weeks.
But, this is obviously a "hopeful" mindset by Miami football officials.
Multiple gambling establishments had already bumped Notre Dame from 5-point favorites to 6.5-point favorites by Wednesday evening.
The health of Malachi Toney will be one of the most talked about subjects over the next month, given the initial CFP rankings that were released on Tuesday night.
Following the win last weekend against North Carolina, the Miami wide receiver has now accounted for 1,027 yards receiving, with 13 touchdowns on 73 receptions.
What does this Hurricanes offense look like without its star wide receiver? We're about to find out, given the unfortunate news that he will be undergoing surgery.
Just like any other player at this time, Toney was dealing with the type on bumps and bruises you would expect eight games into the season.
If the Hurricanes were to lose on Saturday night without Malachi on the field, the subsequent three weeks would be interesting to watch unfold from a rankings standpoint.
We've already seen Ohio State be punished for not having Julian Sayin at quarterback, coming off the loss to USC.
What would the committee have to say when it comes to Miami not having a Heisman Trophy candidate on the field if the injury were to keep Toney out for at least a few weeks?
These are all questions that will be answered one way or another in the coming weeks.
On the other side, this is setting up to be a pivotal game for Notre Dame after being ranked 11th in the first CFP poll of 2026.
There is no sugarcoating the fact that the Fighting Irish do not have a signature win this season, and their strength of schedule leaves much to be desired. BYU is the only ranked team they have played that appears in the College Football Playoff top 25.
"But when you look at Notre Dame’s schedule and the wins that they have, vs. the teams that are ahead of them, they don’t have that signature win right now. They lost in their only Top-25 matchup at BYU. The next best win as on a neutral site against Wisconsin," CFP chairman Hunter Yurachek noted.
"They’ve a great opportunity in front of them this weekend at home vs. Miami to get that signature win that I think they need to move up in the rankings. But the committee is very impressed by them. They wouldn’t be 11th if we were not."
Following the game against No. 1 Miami, the remaining schedule for Notre Dame will see them play Boston College, SMU and Syracuse, with the Mustangs currently having the only winning record out of the three.
Just when you thought Notre Dame's college football playoff standings would be the main storyline heading into Saturday’s showdown, we are now paying attention to see how Miami responds without its Heisman Trophy candidate.
Grocery store cyberattacks are ‘psychological warfare’ that could strike US, former FBI agent warns
Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker warned that the next attack on Americans’ sense of security could come through the grocery aisle after suspected hackers have turned up supermarket freezer temperatures in Europe and fueled fears that everyday necessities could become weapons of "psychological warfare."
Parker warned that cyberattacks targeting the systems people rely on for food and other essentials could also strike the United States.
"Every human being has to eat," Parker told Fox News Digital. "This is the grocery store."
HACKERS COULD ALREADY BE INSIDE AMERICAN UTILITIES, CYBER EXPERTS WARN OF 'TROJAN HORSE' THREAT
Her warning comes as the Army Criminal Investigation Division’s Cyber Field Office works with the Defense Commissary Agency and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service to determine what caused refrigeration failures at military commissaries in August, an Army CID spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Investigators are also working with French law enforcement as they examine whether the U.S. failures could be linked to refrigeration outages in Europe. A cyberattack has not been established as the cause of the military commissary malfunctions.
MAJOR US GROCERY CHAINS HIT BY CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT
At least six commissaries, grocery stores on military bases serving military personnel, experienced refrigeration problems in late August.
"ALL frozen food has spoiled," Fort Huachuca in Arizona said in an Aug. 26 Facebook post.
FOREIGN HACKERS BREACH TWO MORE US WATER UTILITIES, THREATEN SAFETY OF COLORADO RESIDENTS
Other affected locations included F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island, Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi and Travis Air Force Base and Fort Irwin in California. Fort Irwin limited commissary sales to dry goods after its malfunction.
In at least one case, refrigeration units were set to higher temperatures overnight rather than simply shutting off, Reuters reported.
HOW FOREIGN HACKERS COULD 'CRUMBLE' AMERICA BY TARGETING ONE ESSENTIAL UTILITY
Separately, refrigeration systems at European supermarkets were disrupted Monday, forcing some retailers to discard food. Reuters reported that affected businesses included stores in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg, with temperatures in some systems reaching 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
Parker said the incidents underscore a threat she has long discussed with former FBI colleagues: cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure.
AMERICA'S NEXT WAR COULD REACH US SOIL, TOP ARMY GENERAL WARNS
"What we're seeing right now is in Europe and other places, but it can very well happen on our soil," she said.
She described the danger as "asymmetrical warfare" in which an attacker can disrupt daily life without firing a missile or sending troops onto a battlefield.
AN AI CYBERATTACK COULD TURN OFF AMERICA'S LIGHTS BEFORE WASHINGTON EVEN UNDERSTANDS WHY
"No one in law enforcement underestimates the harm that could be caused by a cyberattack against our country or against our allies," Parker said.
The identity of those behind the European incidents remained unknown, Reuters reported Wednesday. Parker also cautioned against drawing conclusions about who was responsible.
UKRAINE SAYS AIR ALERT SYSTEM HACKED AFTER FALSE RADIATION WARNING IN KYIV
"Again, we don't know who did this," she said.
For Parker, the potential damage goes beyond spoiled food. Targeting a basic necessity can also shake the public’s sense of security.
IF HACKERS CRIPPLE AMERICA'S WATER, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE CATASTROPHIC
"This asymmetrical warfare has a very strong psychological impact, but we're Americans. We will not falter ever," she said.
Parker said the response must extend beyond investigators tracking down hackers. Elected officials and local leaders responsible for keeping communities running need training and plans to help residents if essential services are disrupted.
"We're in a place now where it's not just enough for law enforcement to be prepared," she said.
City managers, mayors and city council members must understand potential threats and how they would take care of their communities, Parker said. She stressed the need to identify vulnerabilities and stop attacks before they happen.
Parker urged families to keep basic supplies on hand and have a plan in case a cyberattack disrupts essential services.
"I think if you are prepared, you do not have to fear," Parker said.
She encouraged Americans to keep food, water and needed medicine on hand, gather important documents in a designated location and talk about how family members would communicate during a power outage. She also suggested having a battery-operated AM radio.
"I'm not saying that, you know, you need to go buy everything off of the shelves," Parker said.
Instead, she urged people to think about practical preparations as they go about their routines.
For Parker, who lives in Florida, the approach is familiar.
"We're used to hurricanes," she said. "The preparation would be very much the same."

Four dead, including Washington deputy, following domestic call shooting; another deputy on life support
A Washington state sheriff's deputy has died and another remains on life support after they were ambushed while responding to a domestic violence call that turned deadly, authorities said Wednesday.
Spokane County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a home Tuesday after a woman ran to a neighbor's house reporting that her brother had shot her, FOX 13 Seattle reported.
Responding officers learned the suspect had an active felony arrest warrant and had access to multiple guns and additional victims could be inside the home.
NYPD OFFICER SHOT, GUNMAN KILLED AFTER ARMED BARRICADED STANDOFF IN BROOKLYN: POLICE
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office deployed a SWAT team to assist at the home. As SWAT officers approached the house, a gunman opened fire from inside.
"SWAT team members and deputies approached the house, attempted to breach the door and were met with gunfire," Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels said during a news conference.
PHILADELPHIA POLICE OFFICER KILLED, PARTNER SHOT 12 TIMES IN AMBUSH; SUSPECT FOUND HIDING IN TREE
Deputies returned fire and pulled the two wounded deputies to safety. Both deputies were rushed to a hospital along with the initial female victim who was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
Inside the home, investigators found one person dead, while another body was found in the yard. The suspect was also found dead on the property. Authorities have not released the identities of those who died.
On Wednesday, the sheriff's office confirmed that one of the wounded deputies succumbed to his injuries. He is survived by his wife and two children.
"Although we know our deputies knew the risks, they bravely moved toward danger to protect others they did not know," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
"They did this with honor and with an unwavering sense of duty to their oath to serve and protect the citizens of Spokane County; they heroically placed themselves in mortal danger."
The second deputy remains on life support but is not expected to survive, according to officials.

DSA accused of ‘elevating’ antisemitic, pro-terror rhetoric after Hasan Piker hosts election stream
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chose controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker to host its official election night livestream, drawing a blunt response from Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who accused the group of elevating rhetoric supportive of terrorism and antisemitism.
"Of all the people the DSA could have chosen to host its official election night livestream, it chose Hasan Piker, someone who proudly expresses support for terrorist organizations and traffics in antisemitism," Greenblatt wrote in a post on X.
"Let that sink in. The DSA isn't distancing itself from this kind of rhetoric. It's elevating it."
The DSA saw several of its endorsed or supported candidates win on Tuesday night, including Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, Melat Kiros in Colorado, Donavan McKinney in Michigan, Claire Valdez in New York and Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York.
HASAN PIKER DECLARES 'WOKE IS BACK,' FANTASIZES ABOUT PUTTING DONALD TRUMP IN PRISON
In his post, Greenblatt included a link to an ADL article with statements by Piker that the organization criticized, including comments the ADL said have "alluded to classic antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories."
The article contains some of Piker's more infamous remarks, such as when he referred to Orthodox Jews as "inbred" and his classification of Zionism as "an exterminationist ideology built around ethnoreligious supremacist values."
Piker did not hold back in his response to Greenblatt, writing, "Suck it Jonathan, your best friend Elon burned 450 million to lose races all over the country tonight you bald piece of s---!!!"
The ADL did not immediately respond to Piker’s remarks about Greenblatt.
On Tuesday, Piker described the election as a "blue-clear apocalypse" after Democrats won major gains in the House and Senate. Pike livestreamed for more than 13 hours, offering his signature political commentary as votes were tallied.
"Trumpism is dying, and I could not feel any better," Piker told his audience. "Just imagine a world where Donald Trump is in f---ing prison."
He also gloated over Republicans' defeat, saying, "This is perhaps the worst possible scenario for the Republican Party. I think their odious agenda, their corruption, the destabilizing impact that they’ve had, the endless warfare and its consequences on the American economy, are finally coming back to bite them."
RADICAL SOCIALIST WING'S HUGE NIGHT REVEALS ASCENDING CLOUT WITHIN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Ahead of the midterm elections, Piker drew attention in political circles as he interviewed and even campaigned with DSA-backed and DSA-aligned candidates. Piker came to national prominence after he campaigned with Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
While his race was not explicitly DSA-backed, the organization said El-Sayed "supports DSA priorities like Medicare-for-all."
El-Sayed's decision to appear with Piker drew criticism. The candidate appeared to distance himself from the streamer, holding no additional campaign events with him toward the end of the election cycle. This came after critics accused Piker of suggesting that Jewish Americans' support for Israel could lead to antisemitic violence against them.
DEMOCRATS CONDEMNING HASAN PIKER AS BACKLASH SPREADS THROUGH PARTY
"People don't f--- with Israel any longer. And if Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they're singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone will come around and take action not against Israel, mind you, but against American Jews," Piker said during a Twitch stream in August.
While El-Sayed did not outright condemn the comments, he responded to Piker, saying, "I believe all Americans deserve the right to advocate for what they believe without fear of violence. This is particularly true for communities that have been intimidated for their beliefs in the past.
"My commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own daughters. Antisemitism is a scourge, and we need to address it in all its forms. And I stand against any rhetoric that puts the community at risk."
Fox News Digital reached out to the DSA for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Lions star Amon-Ra St Brown says Jack Campbell's harrowing neck injury puts things into perspective
Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown said teammate Jack Campbell's neck injury "makes you put things into perspective."
St. Brown said his thoughts turned to Campbell's young family as he watched his teammate lying on the ground following the harrowing injury.
"I remember being out there on the field, watching him, seeing him on the ground from a distance, and now all I keep thinking about (is), you know, his wife and his newborn baby that he just had, what, a few months ago?" St. Brown said on a recent episode of his "St. Brown Podcast."

"I just want him to be OK, to be able to play with his kid honestly and be normal."
Campbell released an extensive statement about his injury on Wednesday, saying he has full movement in his lower body and is continuing to make progress with movement in his upper body.
"My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express," Campbell said.
"I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better."
Campbell went limp while attempting to tackle Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson and fell face down on the field before medical staff attended to him. St. Brown said it was difficult to return to the game after watching Campbell's gut-wrenching injury.

"When things like that happen throughout the game or throughout the season, it’s like — it does make it hard, I feel like, for us to go back and play," St. Brown said. "It’s like, damn, we just — we took care of him, put him on a stretcher, sent him out back to the hospital, and now we gotta go play again. So, that kinda sucks, I feel like."
Although St. Brown said returning to the game was difficult, the 27-year-old acknowledged that injuries are part of playing such a violent sport.
"But, you know, it’s what I signed up for; it’s what we signed up for. We get paid a lot of money to play this sport that we love. And so, we’ve gotta finish the game and things like that. But I think injuries like that make it — it makes you put things into perspective, and I think he has done that for a lot of us on our team."
"I’m thinking about Jack; we’re all thinking about Jack. We hope he continues to get better, and yeah, all we can do is pray for him."
Campbell expressed his love for his teammates and the Detroit community after receiving an outpouring of support following his injury.
"To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people. One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge," Campbell said in the statement.
"Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough. God is good. My faith is strong."
Erika Kirk channels Charlie with blunt message to conservatives after GOP midterm losses
Erika Kirk had a message for conservatives reeling from Republican election setbacks, and she turned to her late husband Charlie’s words to deliver it.
"I miss Charlie so much every single day, but especially on a day like today," she wrote.
"He always said that when things are going well, we need to stay humble. And when things aren’t going the way we want, we need to stay positive, keep our faith, and get back to work."
The widow of Turning Point USA CEO and founder Charlie Kirk said her husband had built a political operation meant to endure both victories and defeats.
"Charlie’s vision for Turning Point Action was always bigger than one election," she wrote. "He wanted a permanent, year-round operation with the people, relationships, and resources to compete in every cycle.
INSIDE CHARLIE KIRK’S EFFORT TO DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONSERVATIVE VOICES
"He knew there would be victories and setbacks because he had experienced both and that’s why he built for both."
Kirk also thanked the staff, students, volunteers and ballot chasers who worked during the election cycle.
"I know Charlie would be unbelievably proud of each and every one of you, and I am, too," she wrote.
In a lengthy post on X, Erika Kirk said Republicans saw once comfortable races tighten or flip as candidates she described as democratic socialists campaigned on the cost of gas, groceries and housing.
"A rising stock market doesn’t mean much when nearly half of Americans don’t have a 401K and just want to put gas in their trucks, put food on the table, and provide a good life for their families," she wrote.
Erika Kirk paired her warning with a defense of free enterprise, arguing conservatives must understand why voters looked elsewhere without embracing the policies their opponents offered.
CALLING DEMOCRATS ‘COMMUNISTS’ WON’T WIN GEN Z — REPUBLICANS NEED A BETTER OFFER
"We can disagree with the solutions voters were offered while still recognizing why they were looking elsewhere for answers," she wrote.
Erika Kirk warned conservatives against turning on one another as she urged them to take voters’ frustrations seriously.

"The biggest mistake conservatives can make right now would be to allow this moment to become another exercise in finger-pointing, in-fighting, or trying to secure their own political preservation," she wrote.
"That does not solve the problems the American people are demanding be solved."
Erika Kirk said exit polls showed voters were concerned about the economy and the war in Iran.
She said those concerns echoed what Turning Point had been hearing from students around the country for months.
"This isn’t a surprise to us because we’ve heard the same concerns from our students around the country for months and we’ve been concerned about it too," she wrote.
JONATHAN TURLEY: SOCIALISM IS BACK IN STYLE, AND DEMOCRATS ARE BUYING THE PITCH
Erika Kirk rejected socialism as an answer, arguing it places economic power in government hands rather than allowing individuals and families to build prosperity.
She said that approach conflicts with the free enterprise, individual liberty and opportunity at the heart of the country.
But she also warned that Americans will not simply stick with a party out of habit.
"Americans are not looking for labels and don’t subscribe to unquestioned party loyalty anymore either," she wrote. "They will support the candidates who can both speak to their concerns and deliver on what THEY need and dream about for their families."
She identified affordable homes, safe communities and greater opportunity for the next generation as the promises voters want fulfilled.
Erika Kirk said the organization would study the results, listen to voters and spend the next two years making the case that conservative policies and free markets can address the problems Americans face.
She pledged to continue building relationships in communities across the country and preparing for "2028 and beyond."
"Our principles haven’t changed and neither has our mission," she wrote.
"Onward."
