It may be an off-year election, but Tuesday’s races across the country have been keeping Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Joe Gruters busy.

California voters approved new congressional district boundaries Tuesday, delivering a victory for Democrats in the state-by-state redistricting battle that will help determine which party wins control of the U.S. House in 2026 and, with it, the power to thwart or advance President Donald Trump’s agenda. The approval of Proposition 50 gives Democrats a shot at winning as many as five additional seats, just enough to blunt Texas Republicans’ move to redraw their own maps to pick up five GOP seats at Trump’s urging. Texas’ move and California’s response have kicked off a flurry of redistricting efforts around the country, with...

The Fox News Decision Desk has projected that Democrat Jay Jones will become the next attorney general of Virginia. Jones overcame weeks of burgeoning scandals, and voters looked past them to pick the Norfolk Democrat over incumbent Republican Jason Miyares, who burnished his record of going after drug companies, gangbangers and traffickers. Jones, the son of longtime Norfolk delegate Jerrauld Jones and a former Biden Justice Department staffer, beat back dueling scandals over a 116 mph reckless driving arrest featuring scrutinized affidavits of 1,000 community service hours sworn to by his own political action committee and the NAACP of Virginia....

A former Navy pilot, first elected to Congress in 2018, will be New Jersey's next governor. Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeated former Republican Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, according to a race call by The Associated Press, capping a closely-watched gubernatorial election that some polls predicted would be a coin flip.

Her victory is also the second major win for Democrats on Tuesday, following Abigail Spanberger's win for Virginia governor. The race was also one of...

If you’ve been watching the non-technology news for the last couple of weeks… well first of all, I’m sorry. But you might have noticed that one of the most brazen robberies in recent memory happened at the legendary Louvre museum in Paris, where thieves made off with centuries-old crown jewels that have yet to be recovered. According to a security investigation, the password for video surveillance system was “Louvre,” which is basically one step above “password.” Maybe this was less a jewel heist for the ages and more of a Hackers cosplay attempt. Safe, non-guessable passwords are kind of a...

Judicial Democrat partisanship has resulted in a decade of leftist decisions on congressional redistricting, election integrity, and abortion. You may know Pennsylvania’s Democrat Supreme Court justices by the misery they inflicted during Covid. Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf declared a state of emergency on March 6, 2020, and locked down the state in response to the Covid pandemic. Then a Republican-led legislative resolution passed that would have returned the state to normal operations. The state Supreme Court invalidated the resolution on July 1, and because of that decision, the devastating shutdown lasted until June 2021. Now the judges who made...

Donald Trump is being taken back to court over his refusal to fully fund SNAP. He is creating a hunger crisis in America. All so that he can avoid reopening the government and fixing healthcare for millions of Americans. It’s horrific.

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) And for millions of Americans, it's not a moment of relief. It's a moment of dread. 24 million Americans are now staring at impossible choices. Do they pay the rent, buy groceries, or keep their health insurance?

What if I have to switch hospitals, doctors? What if everything's cut off? What an agonizing decision that...

Jay Jones, the scandalized Democratic candidate for attorney general in Virginia, snatched an unlikely victory Tuesday night, riding the coattails of the top of the ticket to become the commonwealth's chief law enforcement officer. ...He sparked outrage last month when text messages surfaced showing him gloating about putting 'two bullets' through the head of former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. In the same exchange, Jones suggested Gilbert was 'breeding little fascists' — a disturbing reference to the Speaker's two young children. Jones looked poised for a loss in polling conducted in the final weeks of the race.
