Rudy Giuliani on Sunday continued to insist that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump despite a massive $787 settlement in Dominion's defamation case against Fox News.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) condemned Fox News host Tucker Carlson for allegedly inciting violence with his broadcasts.

Fox News host Shannon Bream suggested that former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) would struggle to defeat former President Donald Trump because he is lagging in the polls.

"Okay, so, Governor, you have said there's no point in running unless you're going straight at former President Trump," Bream told Hutchinson. "You right now, though, in the polling are at 1% or less in all the recent polls."
