DEARBORN, Mich. — Former President Trump is gaining momentum among voters in the city who are dissatisfied with how the Biden administration has handled the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.

"This is not something that we can look at and say, well, what's the worst of the two or the lesser of two evils? There is no greater evil than a genocide," Samraa Luqman, who worked as the Abandon Biden co-chair in Michigan, told Fox News Digital. "And Biden has proven that he has the capability to do the greater of the evils."

Boeing on Wednesday reported a $355 million loss for the first three months of the year, as it deals with a quality crisis stemming from a Jan. 5 flight in which a panel blew off one of its planes.

The loss was not as steep as investor analysts had expected. Boeing brought in more than $16.5 billion in revenue in the first quarter, less than it reported the same period last year but also a bit more than analysts expected, and burned through almost $4 billion in cash.

The panel blowout on a 737 Max 9 jet during an Alaska Airlines flight resulted in...

El Paso, Texas — A Texas grand jury indicted more than 140 migrants on misdemeanor rioting charges Tuesday over an alleged mass attempt to breach the U.S.-Mexico border, a day after a judge threw out the cases.

On Monday, a county judge had thrown out the charges against those who were arrested this month...

Washington — Legislation that could lead to a national ban of TikTok cleared the Senate Tuesday night in a bipartisan vote of 79-18, representing one of the most serious threats to the immensely popular social media app's U.S. operations.

Some lawmakers insist they don't want to actually ban the platform used by roughly 170 million Americans, arguing the choice lies with TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance.

To keep TikTok up and running in the U.S., ByteDance must sell its stake in TikTok, and it has up to a year to do so, according to...

Top Mississippi lawmakers started negotiating Tuesday on what could become a landmark plan to expand Medicaid coverage to tens of thousands of people in one of the poorest states in the U.S.

Mississippi is among the 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid coverage to people who work low-wage jobs that don't provide private health...
