A new book on the end of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and the birth of Kamala Harris' sheds light on the process behind the vice president choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a decision widely panned by pundits in retrospect.

"2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," released Tuesday by journalists Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of The New York Times and Isaac Arnsdor of The Washington Post, described a vetting process that came down to three finalists: Walz, Pennsylvania...

President Donald Trump is reiterating his claim that the Democratic Party's nominee for mayor in the nation's most populous city is a "communist."

"If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same," the president argued this week as he spoke to reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.

Trump was referring to Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic-socialist assemblyman from Queens whose convincing victory two weeks ago over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates in New York City's Democratic...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is out of state, speaking to voters in churches and coffee shops in South Carolina in what many see as another step towards a presidential run, although he refused to comment directly on the 2028 race.

It's a two-day trip to the Palmetto State, with Newsom urging local Democratic leaders and voters to assert themselves in the current political moment and focus their efforts on the upcoming 2026 midterm races.

On Tuesday, Newsom made five stops in the northeast corner of South Carolina. One of those stops was at...

Washington — Former President Joe Biden's White House physician appeared before the House Oversight Committee for closed-door testimony on Wednesday and declined to answer questions as the GOP-led panel ramped up its investigation into Biden's age and health.

The committee has sought Dr. Kevin O'Connor's testimony as new reporting emerged earlier this year about the circumstances surrounding Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and his mental acuity while in office. Meanwhile, President Trump ordered an investigation last month into...

Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani secured his latest endorsement from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) in his New York City mayoral campaign on Wednesday morning.

The governing body for the 200,000-member union representing New York City's teachers and education professionals voted to endorse Mamdani Tuesday. Describing New York City's wealth disparity as a "crisis," UFT President Michael Mulgrew said Mamdani is the candidate to support students and usher the city forward.

"Donald Trump would love nothing more than to continue to hack away...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in a Supreme Court order handed down on Tuesday stood out enough that it prompted one of her liberal colleagues to voice disagreement with her.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, said in a brief concurrence that the high court’s 8-1 order clearing the way for President Donald Trump to continue downsizing the government was the right decision.

"I agree with Justice Jackson that the President cannot restructure federal agencies in a manner inconsistent with congressional...

Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor's closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee ended after less than an hour on Wednesday morning, with the doctor giving investigators virtually no new insights.

O'Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about his time with former President Joe Biden during his sit-down. It resulted in a hasty end to what could have been an hours-long deposition.

"I'm going to read the first two questions that were asked. 'Were you ever told to lie about the president's health?' He pleaded...

MANCHESTER, N.H. – The all-Democrat congressional delegation in swing state New Hampshire is teaming up to target President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that he signed into law.

"The big beautiful betrayal of the American people" is how longtime Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the dean of the delegation, described the sweeping Republican-crafted domestic policy package.

Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., charged that the tax cuts and spending measure, which passed the House and Senate last week by razor-thin margins along nearly party-line votes in the...

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is calling for an "immediate" probe into an app that allows people to track federal immigration actions in real time.

House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams, R-Texas, and Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, said the ICEBlock app "paints targets" on the backs of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents throughout the U.S., and asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether the program’s creators are violating federal law.

"We are disturbed to learn that the developers of this app may...

Vice President JD Vance slammed socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during a speech over the Fourth of July holiday weekend for what he called insulting the U.S. on its "most sacred day."

"Today is July 5th, 2025, which means, as all of you know, that yesterday we celebrated the 249th anniversary of the birth of our nation," Vance said Saturday in an address before the conservative think tank Claremont Institute’s Statesmanship Award Dinner in San Diego. "Now, the person who wishes to lead our largest city had, according to...

Washington — The Trump administration said Wednesday that it will be sending administrative subpoenas to Harvard University for information about its foreign students, the latest escalation in its ongoing battle with the Ivy League school.

The Department of Homeland Security said the demand for information relates to Harvard's certification under the Student Visitor and Exchange Program, through which the university can enroll international students.

The administration first demanded Harvard hand over detailed records on its foreign student visa...

FIRST ON FOX: The 2026 midterm elections are still over 16 months away, but a super PAC supporting Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall's gubernatorial campaign is already making a big play with a $1.6 million ad buy.

Starting on Wednesday, July 9, the Oklahoma Conservative Coalition is making an eight-week, $1.6 million advertising investment in broadcast, cable, satellite and streaming statewide, Fox News Digital has learned.

"Charles McCall is the only America First and Oklahoma First candidate in this race with a proven conservative...

As socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral primary win continues to send shock waves through the political landscape, so-called moderate Democrats have increasingly faced calls to disavow or explain their support for the surging candidate, including Rep. Josh Riley, who so far has declined to publicly distance himself.

Riley, who represents New York’s 19th Congressional District, which is ranked by the Cook Political report as "Lean Democrat" heading into next year’s midterms, "dodged reporters" on his stance on Mamdami in late June, Axios...

Biden White House Physician Kevin O’Connor arrived for a closed-door deposition Wednesday.

The House Oversight Committee wants answers from Biden’s former doctor. He did not answer a battery of questions from Fox News about doctor-patient confidentiality or the former president’s mental state as he walked into the meeting.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, the progressive firebrand who recently lost her bid to become the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, made a surprise appearance at the event, though she said nothing to reporters on...

Socialist 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani's primary victory shocked the Democratic Party establishment this June, as his campaign played into the hands of an evolving – and chronically online – New York City electorate.

Scrolling through Mamdani's social media, his TikTok and Instagram pages resemble that of a New York City influencer. From the film-like filters and consistent fonts on his vertical videos to the cameos from celebrities, including model Emily Ratajkowski and comedian Bowen Yang, Mamdani's videos have amassed millions of views.
