Vice President Kamala Harris edges former President Trump in a head-to-head matchup, as more voters see Harris as the candidate who will help the middle class, and Hispanics and independents swing in her direction. The new Fox News national survey finds a 3 percentage-point shift among registered voters in the 2024 presidential contest since mid-August. Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50%-48%. For reference, in July, Trump was ahead by 1 point over President Biden. Each of those differences falls within the margin of error. This marks the first time Harris...

A new Fox News poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by just two points and within the margin of error. Surveying 1,102 registered voters between September 13-16 with a margin of error +/- 3 percent, the poll showed that Kamala Harris improved her standing by three points since August, during which the two had the first presidential debate and there was a second assassination attempt on Trump’s life. “Trump had a 1-point advantage last month, while Harris is ahead by 2 points today: 50 percent to 48 percent,” Fox News noted. “For reference, in July,...

The future of the Murdoch media dynasty, a powerful empire that has shaped conservative politics across the English-speaking world for decades, is about to be hashed out in an unlikely venue: a nondescript probate court in Reno, Nevada. Surrounded by parking lots and across the road from a business named “Bail Bonds Unlimited”, it is this courthouse in downtown Reno where Rupert Murdoch and his eldest son Lachlan are set to face off against three of his other children: James, Elisabeth and Prudence. Murdoch, 93, wants to change the trust he set up in 1999 which grants each of the...

While support for Donald Trump has held steady, Kamala Harris has improved on Joe Biden’s 2024 election numbers in four battleground states, driven by strong support among women, Black voters, and young voters. In addition, while Trump leads on top issues, more voters see Harris as the one who can unite the country -- and who will "fight for people like you." That’s according to new Fox News statewide surveys in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. Each survey includes about 1,000 registered voters and was conducted August 23-26, post Democratic National Convention and just after Robert F. Kennedy Jr....

ox News host Jesse Watters was last night in desperate damage-control mode after a comment he made about Kamala Harris was slammed by his female co-hosts and viewers. Watters faced calls to resign after stating Harris would be 'paralyzed' by generals who 'would have their way' with her in the White House Situation Room. The panel was discussing Harris' strategic abilities when Watters said: 'You have a lot of impact there, as Commander in Chief. We don't know who she is, we don't know what she believes. 'She's going to get paralyzed in the situation room while the generals have...

Fox News has published a mass endorsement from a group of prominent Republicans backing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. The endorsement, which labels Trump as "unfit" for office, marks a significant shift in the political landscape, particularly given Fox News' long-standing support for the former president. The endorsement was published in a full-page editorial on the network’s website and printed in several major newspapers, making it clear that a growing number of Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump as the 2024 election approaches. The group of GOP members who signed...

According to Fox Sports’s president of Insights and Analytics, Vice President Kamala Harris’s acceptance speech drew 22% more viewers than former President Donald Trump’s speech. Michael Mulvihill shared via social media that Harris’s speech, which started at 10:30 and ran to 11:15, saw a 15.0, while Trump’s speech in late July, which also started roughly at 10:30 and ran through to midnight, pulled a 12.3 number. Mulvihill appears to be referencing early Nielsen numbers, which are subject to slight change when final numbers are released later in the day.

Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the FoxNews Debate on September 4th. I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record setting Flip-Flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements that THERE WILL BE NO FRACKING IN PENNSYLVANIA and her HORRIBLE Performance on the Border, our “Border Czar,” where millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists, have been allowed to pour into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. It’s called, and she...

The federal government is processing U.S. citizenship applications at its fastest pace in decades, with thousands of immigrants becoming newly minted citizens every week, possibly helping sway the result of November’s election. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is taking an average of 4.9 months to process naturalization applications in the first nine months of the current fiscal year, a pace not seen since 2013 and 2014, according to a report from the New York Times. The under five-month average processing time is a far cry from that pace set just three years ago, when it took roughly 11.5...

By Dana Blanton Fox News Published August 14, 2024 6:00pm EDT No matter how many major events intervene, and goodness knows there have been several, the state of this year’s presidential race doesn’t seem to change. Vice President Kamala Harris trails former President Donald Trump by one percentage point in the latest Fox News national survey, 49-50%. Last month, she was also behind Trump by one point, 48-49% -- as was President Joe Biden, with the same 48-49% result.

As former President Trump blasts Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz over his response to the unrest in his state in May 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, a resurfaced audio recording shows that Trump had praised Walz at the time for how he "dominated" the situation. In the audio recording, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, Trump was on a phone call with Walz and other governors and officials on June 1, 2020. "What they did in Minneapolis was incredible. They went in and dominated, and it happened immediately," Trump told Walz and the others on the...

Since the Republican National Convention, where Ohio Senator JD Vance was selected as former President Trump's vice presidential running mate, the mainstream media has been relentless in its efforts to tarnish Vance's reputation. From labeling him as "weird" to casting him in a negative light, media personalities and Democrat politicians alike have consistently worked to portray Vance as the antagonist in this political narrative. This campaign against Vance seems to be an orchestrated attempt to undermine his credibility, which only goes to show they are frightened that he will relate to voters in Rust Belt states and convince undecided voters...

NewsGuard, the self-appointed arbiter of media reliability, appears poised to peddle some more of its own misinformation—this time about George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley. Turley exposed NewsGuard’s apparent plans in a Saturday column for The Hill. In “The Most Chilling Words Today: I’m from NewsGuard and I Am Here to Rate You,” the chaired professor of law detailed a recent communication he received from the ratings giant. Roughly a week after he had penned an earlier column for The Hill in which he criticized NewsGuard as infected with a “pro-Democrat and left-wing bias,” the for-profit organization “came...

Court documents show Murdoch wants to give more voting rights to his conservative son, and CEO of Fox, Lachlan. Murdoch went to court last year in a bid to increase Lachlan’s voting power at the expense of his three other children, James, Elisabeth, and Prudence, who have grown uncomfortable with the media empire’s rightward shift, the New York Times reported. The billionaire, alongside Lachlan, is arguing a “lack of consensus” will disrupt Fox’s and News Corp.’s strategic direction, according to court documents reviewed by the publication. Murdoch’s three other children, who are said to have been blindsided by the move,...

Hunter Biden dropped his lawsuit against Fox News on Sunday over "The Trial of Hunter Biden" miniseries on him hours after his father, President Joe Biden, dropped out of the presidential race. The lawsuit was originally filed about 3 weeks ago. The "mock trial" series described how a trial involving Biden's son might look.

Donald Trump may be laying the groundwork for scrambling plans for another presidential debate, suggesting that Fox News, and not ABC News, should be the host. ABC News had been slated to host the debate between Trump and President Joe Biden on Sept. 10. But now that Biden has dropped out of the race, it is unclear whether those plans will happen. Biden has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, but if she wins the nomination, it will be her campaign operation to decide. Trump, meanwhile, posted on Truth Social, “My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the...

Fox News analyst Brit Hume questioned former President Trump’s pick of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) to be his vice presidential candidate, pointing to Vance’s past harsh criticisms of Trump. Hume posited that voters may come to question how Vance became the candidate over other top picks. “You think, well, is this person, how did he get the job? Did he get it because he was really the best qualified to be president?” Hume said. “Or did he get it because he sucked up effectively to the nominee? People will have questions about that.” Vance was a fierce critic of Trump...

Reid Hoffman, a high-profile Democratic billionaire donor, has emerged as a key financier behind Smartmatic’s lawsuit against Fox News, contradicting the voting technology company’s previous claims of self-funding. Hoffman unleashed a “multimillion-dollar investment intended in part to help the company sustain its costly litigation,” reported the Washington Post on Monday. Smartmatic is currently suing Fox News and Newsmax for defamation following their coverage of Smartmatic during the 2020 election. Strikingly, Hoffman’s emergence as the lawsuit’s financier contradicts Smartmatic’s previous assertions. “Smartmatic does not have any third-party funding for the [Fox] cases, and never has had such funding,” Smartmatic attorney Erik...
