Joe Biden thinks he could have won reelection if he had stayed in the White House race, he said in an interview published Wednesday -- while conceding he was unsure if he would have served another full term.

The 82-year-old Democrat, who leaves office on January 20, was asked by USA Today if he believed victory over Republican Donald Trump was a realistic prospect last November, and he pointed to unspecified polling and said: "I think yes."

Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of Facebook and Instagram, on Tuesday accused governments and so-called legacy media of pushing censorship, and vowed to take his world-dominating platforms back to their "roots."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday joined in on the hypothetical renaming of the Gulf of Mexico after President-elect Donald Trump vowed to change the name to the "Gulf of America" a day earlier.

The far-right governor threw Texas’ hat in the ring with another suggestion of paying homage to the Lone Star State – one of several states that borders the body of water.

Tech giant Meta has rolled back restrictions around topics such as gender and sexual identity, a sweeping move advocacy groups fear will fuel hate speech.

The change coincides with the company's shock announcement on Tuesday that it was ending its third-party fact-checking program in the United States and adopting a crowd-sourced model to police misinformation similar to the Elon Musk-owned X.

In one of the most chaotic developments in a state legislature in months, the West Virginia House of Delegates has vacated a seat of a newly-elected Republican state legislator — and due to a bizarre series of events, Democrats may get to appoint his replacement, despite the seat being in a county that gave two-thirds of its vote to Trump.

Delegate-elect Joseph De Soto, who ran unopposed last year after winning the GOP primary for House District 91, stumbled into an explosive and snowballing controversy even before he was elected. DragLine, a local nonprofit journalism outfit affiliated with the West Virginia ACLU, published a bombshell series of allegations, including that De Soto was not licensed to practice medicine despite claiming to be a doctor on his campaign site, and that while he served in the military, the timeline of his service doesn't line up with some of the roles he claimed to have served.

The progressive advocacy group Public Citizen on Tuesday launched a new project aimed at tracking the incoming Trump administration's approach to corporate crime, an effort the watchdog said is particularly urgent given that many of the companies currently under federal investigation have connections to the president-elect.

Public Citizen found that of 192 individual corporations currently facing federal probes or cases, a third "have known ties with the Trump administration."

Rudy Giuliani claimed President-elect Donald Trump had been "enormously supportive personally" as the former mayor admitted to being in "really deep trouble" financially.

One America News Network host Matt Gaetz spoke to Giuliani this week after he was found to be in contempt on Monday related to the $148 million defamation judgment against him. The disgraced mayor was ordered to turn over his assets, including a Mercedes-Benz convertible and watches, for defaming former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. He was previously forced to give up his multi-million Manhattan apartment.

A top House Democrat took a shot at his Republican colleague on Wednesday when asked his feelings about the possibly insensitive timing of the lawmaker's proposed legislation.

Chad Pergram, senior congressional correspondent for Fox News, shared on Wednesday the response of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after he asked the minority leader if it was "impolitesse" for Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) to propose legislation that would authorize the acquisition of the Panama Canal as the late former President Jimmy Carter lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda.

North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Richard Dietz went against his Republican colleagues this week in a case that could have vast implications for future elections in that state and beyond.

Dietz's dissent — in which he cautioned the justices were paving the way for "incredible mischief" that could undercut the electoral system — was aimed at the ruling that allowed Jefferson Griffin, a Republican vying for a spot on the court, to challenge the election victory of Democratic Justice Allison Riggs.

MSNBC host Katy Tur and long-time friend Jacob Soboroff grew up in the Pacific Palisades and she grew emotional after she revealed that the fires destroyed her school and grocery store on her Wednesday show.

The fire began in a residential area around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, as strong Santa Ana winds fueled sparks. This contradicted an assertion from President-elect Donald Trump that the fire was caused by forests not being raked.

U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man who allegedly tried to bring a machete and other knives into the Capitol Visitor Center as former President Jimmy Carter laid in state in the Rotunda.

In a notice on the X (formerly Twitter) social media platform, Capitol Police announced officers had stopped a man after spotting the machete.

President-elect Donald Trump has turned toward an obsession with acquiring various neighboring lands, from Greenland and Canada to the Panama Canal, with his ally Steve Bannon even fantasizing about conquering the entire continent of North America. But the irony, wrote conservative analyst Noah Rothman for the National Review, is that such conquests were made unnecessary by the modern international order of free trade and cooperation — which Trump is now seeking to tear down.

Specifically, Trump is pushing for massive trade wars against all of the U.S.' major trade partners, which economists have raised alarms would be devastating to U.S. consumers. But, wrote Rothman, it goes deeper than that.
