The ‘Squad’s’ Summer Lee beats back primary challenge
Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
  • Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.

  • During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.

  • The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.

  • Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.

Biden moves to reimpose oil sanctions on Venezuela
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
  • The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.

  • The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'

  • While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.

  • Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.
