Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) will not challenge Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) for his seat, opting instead to run for re-election in the House. “Hearing from so many people from throughout our Commonwealth encouraging me to run for the United States Senate was deeply humbling and a testament to the strength of our movement,” Pressley said in a statement. “It would be an honor to serve the whole Commonwealth—but with our daughter in her last year at home before college and a district that has been in the crosshairs of this White House, I am certain that the Massachusetts 7th is where I belong in this moment,” she continued. It is the honor of my professional life to be your Congresswoman and I’m running for re-election pic.twitter.com/dds5zExpx1 — Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley) December 2, 2025 Fox News has more: Pressley also told The Boston Globe she was not closing the door on a future Senate run. “I’m not closing the door to a Senate run down the line,” she told the outlet. Her decision not to enter the race this cycle avoids a potentially awkward matchup between the two progressives. Markey has long been aligned with the party’s left flank. The race already features Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who has sought to draw a generational contrast with the 79-year-old senator. A Suffolk University–Boston Globe poll released before Thanksgiving also showed Markey leading Moulton 45% to 22% among likely Democratic primary voters. But when Pressley was included in a hypothetical matchup, she narrowly edged Markey 35% to 34%, with Moulton falling to 16%. “At a joint press conference headlined by Senator Ed Markey and Representative Ayanna Pressley this fall, one thing was obvious: there was no way the two were going to be running against each other next year, writes James Pindell,” The Boston Globe stated.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed paperwork to run for Governor of Minnesota, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. According to the outlet, the “Mike Lindell for Governor committee was registered with the state’s Campaign Finance Board on Wednesday.” Lindell told the outlet he “isn’t 100% yet” on his decision. He intends to announce his decision at a press conference next week. “I am going to announce either way on Dec. 11,” Lindell told the outlet. JUST IN: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell files paperwork to run for Minnesota governor The Mike Lindell for Governor committee was registered with the state’s Campaign Finance Board on Wednesday. In an interview Wednesday morning, Lindell told the Minnesota Star Tribune that his run… — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) December 3, 2025 More from The Minnesota Star Tribune: Lindell’s possible entrance into the race would shake up what’s become a crowded field of Republicans who are seeking to challenge DFL Gov. Tim Walz. His close proximity to President Donald Trump and prominence in the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement could make him a top contender for the GOP nomination, despite concerns about his electability and promotion of debunked election fraud theories. Lindell told the Star Tribune in October that he had polled hypothetical matchups against Walz and other Republicans running for governor. “If there was someone to win, it would be me,” Lindell said of the GOP field. Other prominent GOP candidates for governor include Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, 2022 nominee Scott Jensen, state Rep. Kristin Robbins, businessman Kendall Qualls and attorney Chris Madel. In another interview, Lindell said he’s “98 percent sure” he will enter the race. BREAKING: Mike Lindell Files Paperwork To Run For Minnesota Governor pic.twitter.com/VYSOwoUjTh — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) December 3, 2025 MPR News shared further: Lindell would make a dozen Republicans trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Tim Walz in 2026. The race to choose a nominee could spill into an August primary if a state convention endorsement doesn’t clear the field in May. An aide to Lindell said the paperwork was filed in anticipation of a formal announcement soon. Lindell said it would happen as soon as Dec. 11. Lindell said he has reestablished residency in Minnesota after living in Texas for a short time. Democrats didn’t wait on an announcement formality to take a swipe, saying Lindell would make the race more chaotic and called him a “sleazy businessman” with an extreme agenda. “His entrance into the race is a bitter pill-ow for Minnesota Republicans to swallow,” Democratic Governors Association spokesperson Izzi Levy said in a written statement.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she filed a discharge petition to force a vote on banning stock trading in Congress. “Both Republican @SpeakerJohnson and @RepJeffries have acknowledged that insider trading in Congress is a serious problem and must be stopped, and have signaled support to stop the corrupt process of insider trading via individual stock trades, but political games have already started to play out behind the scenes so I couldn’t wait any longer,” Luna wrote. “I look forward to working with every faction, every caucus, and every Member, Republican and Democrat, to deliver this win for the American people,” she continued. It is done. I just filed a discharge petition to force a vote to ban stock trading in Congress.

Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) December 2, 2025 Roll Call shared more: The discharge petition sets up yet another showdown between rank-and-file Republicans and their leadership. Last month, the House voted in favor of a bill that would compel the Justice Department to release certain files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after a discharge effort led by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. That push succeeded despite the open opposition of President Donald Trump and Johnson (though Trump officially changed his position days before the measure was set to pass). And earlier this year, Luna led a separate discharge petition aimed at allowing proxy voting for recent parents, though Johnson cut a deal with her and quashed the effort. Luna’s stock trading push, if successful, would bring to the floor a consensus proposal introduced by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, forcing members to go on the record on an issue that has broad public support. The perception that members are trading on inside information they glean from their jobs — which is already illegal, according to a rarely enforced 2012 federal law that also established stock reporting requirements — hurts the public’s confidence in Congress, advocates of the proposal say. Burchett and Luna were the only signatories as of Tuesday afternoon. If the petition reaches 218 signatures, House leadership will be forced to bring the bill to a vote on the House floor. “@SpeakerJohnson said he believes members of Congress should be able to own stocks. He said said that the institution should clamp down on insider trading,” Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman said. “So there’s probably a way to do that that still allows for lawful conduct by members,” Johnson said, according to Sherman. “You don’t want another deterrence for good people running for office,” he added. According to Sherman, Johnson said Luna “gets anxious and wants things to happen quicker.” NEWS in @PunchbowlNews Midday:@SpeakerJohnson said he believes members of Congress should be able to own stocks.

Anxious is what happens when you get nervous. I’m not nervous. I’m pissed lol. Either which way I’m all ears for a solution. The insider trading is really bad and even the speaker knows it. I like Mike. Mike is a good guy. I hope he backs me on this one,” Luna commented. I would say the term is more frustrated lol. Anxious is what happens when you get nervous. I’m not nervous.

Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who is working on the effort with Luna, agreed many Republicans are “tired” of GOP leaders pushing off the legislation. It’s just the latest internal GOP fight Johnson has to deal with. At the same time Luna and Burchett formally launched their discharge petition effort Tuesday afternoon, Johnson faced a revolt among his members on the House floor over a procedural move involving legislation to regulate name, image and likeness compensation in college sports.
