The state of Georgia made headlines on Tuesday (June 9) as it was election day. The Southern state has recently been fraught with controversy pertaining to the recent riots that broke out in the city of Atlanta. Now, it's being reported by voters that they were left standing in line for hours as polling stations had numerous problems including machines that didn't work all over the state.

Derek Chauvin is a name everyone in the United States knows now as he is the man who was caught on camera killing George Floyd. Chauvin's actions have sparked protests all throughout the country as people are hoping for answers and a change to the system. As it stands, Chauvin is facing second-degree, third-degree, and manslaughter charges that could effectively put him in jail for the rest of his life.

In a Twitter thread posted by Danny Rivero on Friday, it was revealed that Chauvin has a history of illegally voting in US elections. During the 2016 and 2018 elections, Chauvin reportedly voted in Florida despite claiming residence and paying taxes in Minnesota. While he had a home in Orange County Florida, he technically isn't allowed to vote there. This is a third-degree felony and can lead to significant jail time.

Now, more than ever, it is important for us to elect somebody that will actually fight for the people. As we continue to witness social unrest with protests taking place across the nation, curfews have been imposed to keep people off the streets. On top of that, the coronavirus still poses a major concern. 

Some states had delayed their primary voting because of the pandemic and, today, nine states are open for voting.

District of Columbia, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Dakota are all voting for seats in Congress today. While it is always important to be educated on politics and what’s happening in the government, it’s arguably more important than ever before for us to make our voices heard through the vote. If you’re registered to vote in any of these nine states, please find out how and where to vote and make sure to protect yourself and others by wearing a mask.

This is an important day for Joe Biden, who will likely clinch the nomination on the Democratic side. Senator Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign, but his name will still appear on the ballot.

With so much happening across the nation, it’s important to be politically informed and active. Get out and vote.

Joe Rogan is trending on Twitter following a podcast with Eric Weinstein, where Rogan remarks that he'd rather vote for Donald Trump than Joe Biden.

“I’d rather vote for Trump than [Biden],” says Rogan. “I don’t think [Biden] can handle anything. You’re relying entirely on his cabinet. If you want to talk about an individual leader who can communicate, he can’t do that. And we don’t know what the fuck he’ll be like after a year in office.

“The pressure of being president of the United States is something that no one has ever prepared for. The only one who seems to be fine with it is Trump, oddly enough.”

Throughout the segment, Rogan and Weinstein speak about Biden's problematic mental health, which seems to be deteriorating as this campaign goes on. Many Dem-alignment Twitter users are using Rogan's quote to further the mainstream narrative that he's a conservative, while others are opining that Rogan is the exact type of swing-voter that the Dems need to win over, rather than alienate. 

Rogan found himself trending for political reasons earlier this year when he endorsed Bernie Sanders for president. Traditional Dems labeled Rogan a bigot in response.

Check out some of the reaction on Twitter below.

After the man who was projected to lead the DNC in November had a slow start, he is back where everyone expected him to be. Joe Biden entered the Democratic race for the presidential nomination as a favorite, but a slow start in New Hampshire, Nevada, and Iowa almost doomed his campaign. Lo and behold, Biden captured South Carolina off the strength of Black voters, and rebounded during Super Tuesday to steal the lead back from Bernie Sanders. Biden was able to pick up momentum due to Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer backing out the race and endorsing him. Now, another DNC candidate is putting their endorsement behind the former Vice President. 

"There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office," Kamala Harris said in a statement on Sunday. "He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people." Kamala is the latest, after Mike Bloomberg, to throw her support behind Biden just months after she attacked him on the debate stage for being insensitive to Black issues. With the DNC seemingly forming around Biden, does Bernie stand a chance of winning the nomination?

Killer Mike has been advocating for Bernie Sanders for years now. The rapper is intelligent and well-spoken, but sometimes his statements miss the mark. That's what happened this past weekend when Killer Mike compared the struggles of Martin Luther King Jr. to those of Democratic presidential nominee hopeful Bernie Sanders. The entire debacle started when Killer Mike responded to a tweet by author and Hillary Clinton supporter Zachary Wood. Wood himself was responding to a tweet by Bernie where Mr. Sanders asked the youth to get out and vote. "There’s just something about you, @BernieSanders, that pisses me off," Wood wrote.
