2024 Elections

A jab from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre caused Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy to blush during what was expected to be their final press conference together in the White House briefing room.

"If I don't see you again in the briefing, thank you for always ... You could have stopped taking the hard questions years ago, and you didn't, so we appreciate that," Doocy said at the beginning of his questions on Monday.

Donald Trump has forged close ties with the world's richest man in the world, Elon Musk, but the President-elect's fan base is lashing out at Musk's social network.

The apparent origin of the controversy is the blow-up between Musk himself, who advocated for legal immigration policies that benefit his companies, and many in the MAGA base, who hope to curtail all types of incoming immigrants.

Donald Trump's own supporters on Saturday lashed out as the President-elect announced the nomination of a contributor to Project 2025.

Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign distanced himself from Project 2025, the conservative Heritage Foundation's blueprint for a Republican presidential administration. The project was found by polls to be devastating for Republicans, and Trump did what he could to disassociate from those who headed it.

A Donald Trump ally said he told the President-elect to his face that he and other GOP lawmakers "do not want" an idea Trump has floated in several interviews.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) was floated by Trump as a potential vice presidential candidate before J.D. Vance was ultimately selected, and Donalds frequently defends the former and incoming president in interviews on TV.

At a time when the always newsworthy Donald Trump is headed back to the White House, the venerable Washington Post should be gearing up to cover his second term but instead is being subjected to an exodus of top reporters and internal strife, reports the Wall Street Journal's Alexandra Bruell.

In her report for the Journal, Bruell notes that Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos, who bought the Post in 2013 for $250 million, just watched his investment lose around $100 million last year as new management has failed to stop the bleeding.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) sent an official letter to Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) saying that his resignation will be effective at midnight Thursday in a move that leaves the Republican majority in the Senate at 51.

"To the people of Ohio, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of representing you in the United States Senate," Vance said in his letter. "When I was elected to this office, I promised to never forget where I came from, and I’ve made sure to live by that."

Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump pleaded with a federal appeals court to block special counsel Jack Smith's report on 2020 presidential election subversion.

After Attorney General Merrick Garland informed the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that he intended to release part of Smith's report, Trump responded with a brief, calling the investigation into his attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election a "political hit job."

A new book is claiming that someone at Fox News fed President-elect Donald Trump's campaign questions that the network planned to ask him at a town hall before the event took place last year.

CNN reports that a new book written by Politico's Alex Isenstadt claims that, roughly 30 minutes before the town hall began, an internal Fox News source sent images of the questions that hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum were going to ask him, as well as planned followup questions depending on the responses that he gave.

David Clements, an attorney for Jan. 6 riot defendant Jacob Lang, demanded that the government seize the assets of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to be used as "restitution" for those who were charged with participating in the Capitol attack.

At a Monday news conference on the fourth anniversary of Jan. 6, Clements pleaded with President-elect Donald Trump to pardon his client, who remains in prison awaiting trial.

Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) was at the U.S. Capitol Monday to observe the certification of the 2024 election — and he shared photos he said highlighted a stark contrast to the last time it happened.

Many Democrats have posted online that their party is not made up of election deniers, a slight aimed at the GOP which includes many members who still believe the 2020 election was stolen away from Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is continuing to complain about marks of respect for former President Jimmy Carter impacting his inauguration by flying flags as half-staff.

And his gripes have left Whoopi Goldberg mad.

President-elect Donald Trump vowed to replace the Archivist of the United States after taking office to prevent being charged with stealing classified documents again.

In a Monday interview, conservative host Hugh Hewitt told Trump that his "problems in Florida at Mar-a-Lago started because the archivist complained to the DOJ because he hated you."

Newsmax host Sarah Williamson contradicted conservative activist David Sumrall for denying that supporters of Donald Trump violently rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

During a Sunday panel discussion, Sumrall predicted that Trump would follow through with a promise to pardon Jan. 6 defendants en masse on the first day of his presidency.
