US politics live – latest updates
When the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district was called on Tuesday night, the result capped off one of the most expensive races of its kind in the state’s history. More than $24m poured into the Manhattan contest from tech-backed financial groups as the campaign turned into a battleground for pro- and anti-AI groups to test their influence.
Much of the spending targeted candidate Alex Bores, a member of the state assembly who sponsored an AI safety bill and subsequently became a lightning rod for the tech industry.

The first American pope has made waves since taking the position. However, after his latest remarks – that AI could make civilization less human and a plea for governments globally to actively slow AI development – people in the US have been divided.
Some Americans celebrated the commentary, with former New York council member Brad Lander calling it “bold moral leadership” and Florida representative Anna Paulina Luna telling her constituents on social media that she concurs with Pope Leo’s sentiments. In contrast, Doug Burgum, the US secretary of the interior, pushed back and said he didn’t “know that tech editorializing was part of the role of being Pope”; while David Sacks, the former White House AI and crypto czar, posted on X that government regulation of AI poses serious dangers.
