<h4>Derek Tran Issues Statement on President Biden’s Departure from the 2024 Presidential Race</h4>

<p><strong>A bill designed to limit foreign influence in U.S. universities</strong> divided Orange County’s congressional delegation.</p><p>The House passed the bill on Thursday, March 27. It would require universities to report to the U.S. Department of Education foreign gifts and contracts over $50,000 and is aimed at preventing foreign governments — particularly adversaries like China — from using financial donations to gain influence over U.S. academic institutions.</p><p>Only one Orange County Democrat, Rep. Derek Tran, joined Republicans in voting for the legislation, called the DETERRENT Act, while Reps. Lou Correa, Mike Levin, Dave Min and Linda Sánchez all voted against it.</p>

<h4>Why an Orange County Democrat split with his party on a bill to curb foreign influence in higher education</h4>

<p>POLITICO<strong> <span style="color: var(--color-text)">— </span></strong>How is <strong>Kamala Harris</strong>’ rise affecting the Democrats running for Congress in her home state of California? Look no further than <strong>Derek Tran</strong> in Orange County.</p><p>Tran’s effort to unseat GOP Rep. <strong>Michelle Steel </strong>was considered by Democrats to be competitive but a bit of a reach — Steel had herself ousted a Democratic incumbent in 2020 and batted away a challenger in 2022.</p><p>Then <strong>Joe Biden</strong> dropped out of the race.</p><p>Voters, especially those under the age of 30, were flooding the office phone lines, asking to volunteer and how to get yard signs. Donors he had never spoken to before were suddenly calling Tran back, eager to give.</p><p>“We saw a big bump in fundraising,” Tran said in an interview with POLITICO. “It was just like this amazing momentum and energy, and just the way people were talking about this race again — it was like 2008.”</p><p>And now new data — one of the first publicly released House polls since Harris took over the top of the ticket — shows he’s neck-and-neck with the incumbent. Tran and Steel are tied at 47 percent each, <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000191-590c-d687-a3db-fd9f45390000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according to a poll from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee</a> shared exclusively with POLITICO.</p>

<h4>Kamala's Orange County ripple</h4>

<p><strong>Garden Grove, CA</strong> — Hôm Thứ Sáu, 1 Tháng 11, trang tin LAist thuộc Đài NPR đã làm bùng nổ dư luận khi tung ra <a href="https://laist.com/news/politics/michelle-steel-pandemic-meals-campaign-mail-printer-supervisor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bài điều tra</a> vạch trần vụ bê bối mới nhất liên quan tới việc Dân Biểu Michelle Steel khoán hợp đồng, cung cấp thức ăn cho người cao niên và tàn tật, trị giá $1.2 triệu cho công ty DTN Tech, nhà in mẫu quảng cáo cho ban tranh cử của bà.<br></p><p>Công ty in ấn này, chưa hề có kinh nghiệm điều hành chương trình trợ cấp liên bang, đã tính "<strong>đắt gấp ba lần số tiền cho mỗi bữa ăn</strong>" so với các chương trình tương đương ở các địa hạt khác, đồng thời từ chối giao bữa ăn tận nhà cho những người cao niên nghèo khó, việc mà tất cả các địa hạt khác đều làm.&nbsp;</p><p>Một cuộc thanh tra độc lập cũng phát hiện ra rằng công ty DTN Tech đã chậm trễ trong việc nộp các báo cáo bắt buộc về các chi tiêu của họ trong hơn ba năm qua và công ty này đã tự trả chi phí hành chính với mức tiền cao nhất theo quy định - và LAist còn khám phá thấy có "ít nhất hai phần ba số tiền tài trợ đã được trả cho các nhà hàng" vốn là khách của nhà in này.</p>

<p>Donald Trump’s continued undermining of longstanding American foreign policy is a direct threat to democracy across the globe.

<h4>Derek Tran Wins Race for California’s 45th Congressional District</h4>

<p><strong>Garden Grove, CA -</strong> In a shocking display of arrogance, MAGA Michelle Steel stooped to a new low this weekend, claiming to be more Vietnamese than her opponent Derek Tran, a first-generation Vietnamese-American and son of Vietnamese refugees. While <strong>Steel’s offensive remarks were made behind closed doors</strong>, hundreds of outraged local Vietnamese-Americans gathered outside to <a href="https://derektranforcongress.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1e659e390a2db62866d4e89b&amp;id=e070fab6b1&amp;e=ebed8ebccf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">protest her outrageous lies yesterday.</a></p><p><strong>This is not the first time Steel has attempted to appropriate the Vietnamese experience.</strong> Steel also was recently caught trying to mislead her Vietnamese constituents about her own immigration story, claiming that her family <a href="https://derektranforcongress.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b1e659e390a2db62866d4e89b&amp;id=7b850a40fb&amp;e=ebed8ebccf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“fled communism too”</a>.
