The nation's most populous state is growing again.

California gained population last year for the first time since 2019, according to a new estimate released Tuesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration.

The net increase of just over 67,000 residents in 2023 — a 0.17% increase — stopped a three-year trend of population decline, which included the state's first-ever year-over-year loss during the pivotal census year of 2020 that later led to California losing a congressional seat. The state estimates California now has more than 39.1 million...

Former President Donald Trump has been fielding questions about who's on the shortlist to be his vice president and the qualities he's looking for in a running mate, even though the Republican National Convention is still months away. Sources close to the Trump campaign say Trump is likely to make the announcement closer to the convention, similar to 2016, when he announced days before the convention that then-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be his running mate.

But the search is underway, according to Trump advisers, and some of the names that are...

Former President Donald J. Trump told Time magazine in an interview published Tuesday morning that if elected in November, he would deploy the U.S. military to detain and deport migrants, hedged on the possibility of political violence after the 2024 election and said he would permit states to decide whether to prosecute those who violate abortion bans.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be on the presidential ballot in California, his campaign said Monday, having secured the nomination of the American Independent Party, a minor party with a history of insurgent independent candidacies: Its first presidential nominee, in 1968, was the Alabama governor and segregationist George C.

California is the fourth state where Mr. Kennedy, who is running as an independent, is all but assured a spot. The secretary of state’s office does not certify candidates until late August, the office said, but confirmed...

Kansas Republicans failed Monday evening to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of a bill that would have banned transgender surgical procedures for children.

Just a few hours after the Senate voted 27-13 to override the veto, the GOP-supermajority in the state House came up two votes shy to solidify its reversal. Two Republicans dissented in the final tally, which was 82-43.

"I'm extremely disappointed," state Sen. Mike Thompson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning. "We've tried now three times to get a bill to protect these kids, so...

Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., forces a vote on her motion to oust him from power."From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common ground with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results.

The FBI says scammers stole more than $3.4 billion from older Americans last year

House Democratic leaders announced Tuesday that they will vote to thwart any effort from Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson from his post, saying the "time has come to turn the page on this chapter of pro-Putin Republican obstruction."

Greene, a far-right Republican from Georgia, has been threatening to begin a procedure to oust Johnson from the speakership. Greene this week said Johnson's days as speaker are "numbered."

"We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Motion to Vacate the Chair," House...
