Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis were set Wednesday night to clash one-on-one in a final Republican debate before the Iowa caucuses in which they hope to derail former President Donald Trump’s seemingly unshakable grip on the nomination. With each of them hoping to elbow out the other, Haley and DeSantis will get their first chance to spar without the distraction of lower-performing candidates like former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who dropped out hours before the clash. But regardless of what happens at the debate, Trump remains the overwhelming favorite in Iowa and nationwide, despite his m......

California's Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis love to brag about how their state is the best place to live, work and enjoy life. Newsom, a second-term Democrat, and DeSantis, a Republican presidential nominee, will debate Thursday for 90 minutes in Alpharetta, Georgia, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Fox News Channel commentator Sean Hannity will moderate. Expect lots of boasts, along with numbers from both that appear to back up all of their claims. DeSantis, for example, told“Fox and Friends’’ last week “People are flooding into Florida because we’ve stood for freedom and p......

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene joined a growing chorus of right-wing figures pushing to put former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on a 2024 GOP ticket led by Donald Trump. The Georgia congresswoman, who told the Guardian in August her name was “on a list” of vice presidential candidates if the former president returns to power, replied Friday to a tweet by ultra-conservative activist Charlie Kirk pushing for a Trump-Carlson ticket. “I agree with you Charlie,” Greene wrote on X. “There’s no one better than Tucker Carlson!!” The idea of Trump teaming up with Carlson gained momentum after the frontrun......

“Mummified” mice were recently discovered atop towering volcanoes in Peru where the Incas once performed ritual sacrifices. Thirteen of the whiskered rodents were found across three peaks in the Andes, where archaeologists first began encountering mysterious rodent remains in the 1970s and 1980s. At the time, it was presumed that the animals — known as leaf-eared mice — had traveled with the Incas, and had perhaps fallen victim to their sacrifices (The Incan Empire lasted from 1400 to 1532, and it covered a large swath of South America, according to the British Museum). But new research indica......

ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida yanked four private school campuses, including the top-rated Park Maitland School, from its voucher programs because of “direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party,” Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said late Friday. The announcement by DeSantis — who has called the Communist Party of China the United States’ “greatest geopolitical threat” — did not provide any evidence of the ties it found between China and Park Maitland and two private schools in South Florida. But Park Maitland, which serves students in preschool through eighth grade, says on its website that it is part of ......

Presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy is vowing to allow Russia to keep every inch of Ukrainian territory it has occupied if Vladimir Putin promises to cut ties with China. The outspoken Republican candidate told Fox News that he would also cave to Russian demands to keep Ukraine out of NATO in exchange for the hypothetical pledge to break off economic and military alliances with Beijing. “I would freeze the current lines of control,” Ramaswamy said Wednesday night. “I would further make a hard commitment that NATO will not admit Ukraine to NATO. That’s enough to get Putin to do the deal.” If h......
