2024 Elections

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump would travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with House Republicans on Wednesday.

"President Trump is going to meet with President Biden at the White House, and so it was suggested, in fact, I think he said it first before I did, that he wanted to come and visit with House Republicans," Johnson said at a Republican leadership news conference. "So we're working out the details of him gathering with us, potentially, tomorrow morning before he goes to the White House, and that will be a great meeting and a moment for all of us."

Donald Trump's 2024 win means that he could enshrine far-right conservatism even further in the U.S. Supreme Court — but Justice Samuel Alito is standing in the way.

Given Alito's age of 74, there was speculation that he and Justice Clarence Thomas, 76, could step down to make way for younger conservative justices who would be expected to maintain control long into the future.

President-elect Donald Trump's former White House chief of staff has suffered a legal blow in the form of a Supreme Court refusal, according to records and reports.

Mark Meadows' argument that he was acting as a "federal officer" when he tried to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results failed to impress the nation's highest court, NBC News was among the first to report Tuesday.

Gov. Kristi Noem's ascent from admitted dog killer to national watchdog is spurring howls of rage and disbelief on social media.

President-elect Donald Trump's selection of Noem, the South Dakota Republican who boasted of shooting a pet dog to death, as secretary of Homeland Security on Tuesday stunned political spectators.

Republicans' slim majority in the House of Representatives could create a big headache for Donald Trump, insiders said in a new report.

"Plenty of House Republicans are privately jockeying for President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet," CNN reports. "There’s one big problem: Speaker Mike Johnson can’t afford to lose their votes in the next Congress."

Senate Republicans received Tuesday morning an urgent word from the Washington Post editorial board as they face mounting bullying from MAGA commentators bent on delivering them to President-elect Donald Trump: "Fight."

The editorial board urged Republican senators not to kowtow to messaging from pundits such as Tucker Carlson — as three hopeful majority leaders have done — and support Trump's call to circumvent congressional oversight with recess appointments.

Donald Trump on Monday nominated Lee Zeldin, a former congressman and early loyalist of the Republican, to oversee US environmental policy, the latest in a series of swift cabinet choices by the president-elect.

If confirmed by the US Senate as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Trump said Zeldin would be charged with making "swift deregulatory decisions" aimed at rolling back protections enacted by the Joe Biden administration.

The Arizona Senate contest between Democratic Phoenix-area Rep. Ruben Gallego and Trump-backed former news anchor Kari Lake has finally been projected for Gallego, multiple media outlets reported late Monday.

Arizona was one of the most hotly contested states of the cycle, with polls at the presidential level showing a razor-thin contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. At the Senate level, however, things have been more chaotic.

Former Donald Trump adviser and short-lived communications director Anthony Scaramucci triggered his ex-boss enough that he took time out of his busy pre-inauguration schedule to lash out on TruthSocial.

Trump shared an appearance of Scaramucci on CNBC last week, during which Squawk Box host Joe Kernen asked if he was "embarrassed or at least humbled about how wrong you were."

Donald Trump hasn't been sworn into office yet but, according to one U.S. senator, he's already delaying his legal responsibilities.

Taking to X on Monday, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) cited a CNN report saying that Trump still hasn't signed an ethics agreement that has to be on file before a presidential transition takes place.

Republican senators are pushing back against President-elect Donald Trump and his base of MAGA supporters as they try to ram a potential party leader down their proverbial throats, according to a new report.

Mounting calls for Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) to become next majority leader has infuriated several GOP senators who do not want to consider conservative pundits' demands when choosing a candidate to support, Punchbowl News reported Monday.

President-elect Donald Trump's reelection was credited for emboldening a group of people waving Nazi flags in Michigan over the weekend.

WLNS reported that the flags were seen in two cities, including at a Jewish play.

President-elect Donald Trump will only have his big mouth to blame if he can't get his biggest campaign promise past a battalion of activist attorneys armed and ready for legal war, those lawyers reportedly say.

A network of hundreds of lawyers say they're better prepared than ever before to challenge Trump's anti-immigrant policy promises that include mass deportations and camps, the New York Times reported Monday.
