Despite Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris in November, it’s possible he may not become president on Jan. 20 if there’ still no speaker of the House who has certified the election results. That alarm is being sounded on national TV as Mike Johnson, the current speaker of the House, is facing the threat of not being voted as speaker again this Friday. On “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel, host Jason Chaffetz quoted Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram who said: “The House absolutely, unequivocally cannot do anything until it elects a speaker, period. This...

DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li analyzed what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign that led to the "epic disaster" against President-elect Donald Trump this week. Li told Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain on Saturday that multiple factors doomed the campaign in her opinion, including Biden’s choice for Harris to be his successor, the Harris campaign’s overconfidence in their polling data, and former President Obama’s delay in endorsing the vice president as the Democratic candidate. "The truth is, this is just an epic disaster – this is a $1 billion disaster,"...

One of the people Vice President Kamala Harris might want to thank in her victory speech, if she wins the election, is Fox News anchor Bret Baier. His combative interview Wednesday gave Harris the chance to display qualities — and present facts — that Donald Trump desperately wants to keep hidden from the network’s millions of viewers.Don’t take it from me; take it from Baier himself. He said afterward that he thought Harris came to the interview seeking “a viral moment” and added: “I think she may have gotten that.”Baier was surely referring to the exchange about Trump’s repeated threat...

Kamala Harris sat for an interview by Bret Baier for Special Report on Fox News yesterday. I have posted the video below. Baier was, well, loaded for bear. I thought he did an excellent job within the time allowed. I have just a few thoughts and observations. This was Harris’s first interview on Fox News. I take it that her appearance in this venue is a sign that her campaign is not going altogether swimmingly. The interview was something of a calculated risk. Harris’s handlers have heretofore kept her from close encounters of the Fox News kind. They know she...

On the menu today: We didn’t get a second debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, but perhaps last night gave us something even better — Harris forced to face tough questions about the Biden administration’s record from a questioner who cared about the details and wasn’t going to let her filibuster. Meanwhile, speaking before a union in Philadelphia, President Biden boasts that he can’t wait to see Donald Trump get sentenced for his felony convictions. For a long stretch, Americans have hungered for real leadership. We’ve yearned for a figure who was sharp, well-versed on all the...

A recent Fox News poll shows Donald Trump pulling ahead of Kamala Harris in a 4-point swing, shaking up the dynamics of the presidential race. The poll, conducted between October 11 and 14 among 1,110 registered voters and 870 likely voters, shows that Trump is leading Harris by 2 points among registered and likely voters, on 50 percent to her 48 percent, a 4-point swing from when Harris was leading Trump by 2 points a month ago. Although Trump has seen a jump in the polls, his lead is still within the margin of error of plus or minus 3...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House. The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake. Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow...

Vice President Kamala Harris refused to answer a question from Fox News’ Bret Baier about why the Biden-Harris administration allowed Iran to access billions of dollars, deflecting instead to familiar criticisms of Donald Trump. Harris sat for a contentious 27-minute interview on Special Report during which the Democratic nominee often evaded questions or tried to shift the focus to her opponent. Her answer on foreign policy was no different. Given Harris’s claim that Iran (and not China) was America’s greatest enemy, Baier asked her, why had she and Biden “relaxed or failed to enforce sanctions on Iran, allowing all of...

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to separate herself from the Biden-Harris administration’s record during a Wednesday interview on Fox News Channel’s Special Report with Bret Baier. Under the Biden-Harris administration, costs increased by about 20 percent across the board, Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal.

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday night if she is ready to be interviewed by his network. Doocy asked Harris the question as she walked down the hallway following her nomination speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), as she has not sat for an interview since the launch of her campaign. Harris told Doocy she is “working toward” an interview. “Are you ready for your Fox News interview?” Doocy asked.

A new Fox News poll shows former President Trump in the lead against Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris by 1-point in the 2024 matchup. Surveying 1,105 registered voters between August 9-12 with a sampling error of ±3 percentage points, the poll showed Trump ahead of Harris by one-point – 50 percent to 49 percent. She also trailed him by one-point last month – 49 percent to 48 percent. Per Fox News: Between those two surveys, there was an assassination attempt on Trump, the Republican National Convention was held, Ohio Sen. JD Vance was chosen as Trump’s running mate, Biden dropped...

Trump on Thursday agreed to debates with Fox News on September 4, ABC on September 10 and NBC on September 25. WATCH: President Trump has agreed to debates...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Monday on “Morning Joe” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not go on Fox News to debate former President Donald Trump because they mispronounce her name. Referencing Trump, Scarborough said, “He obviously is now proposing something that is no more likely for Kamala Harris to attend than than him attending something on MSNBC in prime time. It’s just not going to happen, which means he’s trying to figure out a way to get out of this debate gracefully and just not going to be able to do it.” Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “No. And let’s...

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,...

President Biden is the frontrunner in a hypothetical matchup against former President Trump for the first time since October, as positive views of the economy inch up — hitting their highest level thus far in the Biden presidency, according to a new Fox News national survey. Since May, there was a 3-point change in the presidential race. Trump was ahead by 1 point last month, while Biden is up by 2 points today: 50%-48%. That’s well within the margin of error. Beyond improved evaluations of the economy, a range of other events since the May survey could influence small shifts...

Paul Ryan, a member of the Fox Corporation Board of Directors, will not vote for former President Donald Trump, he told Yahoo on Tuesday at the Milken Institute Global Conference. Ryan’s pledge is his latest attack against the America First movement. In April he praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for his leadership at a time when the Speaker’s actions permitted Democrats to seize control of the House. Sound up! House Republicans know this is true and Hakeem Jeffries started controlling the House when Johnson became Speaker. Anyone that hears this and still defends Mike Johnson’s Speakership is ok with...

Our ancestors may have kept foxes as pets long before domestic dogs came on the scene. Archaeological evidence suggests ancient human societies in South America revered foxes to such an extent that they were buried next to them. Scientists were surprised to find a fox buried in a human grave dating back 1,500 years in Patagonia, Argentina. They think the most likely explanation is that the fox was a highly valued companion or pet. DNA analysis shows the animal dined with prehistoric hunter gatherers and was part of the inner circle of the camp. A fox of the same species...

Today I filed a lawsuit against Ms. Jessica Tarlov of Fox News for defamation. Although I am seeking compensatory, special, and punitive damages from her for the damage her public remarks inflicted on my personal and professional reputation, this is not about money. This is about the truth, for which I have been fighting for four years. It is important for media personalities like Ms. Tarlov to understand that lies have consequences.

On Wednesday, Jessica Tarlov, a liberal co-host on Fox News Channel's "The Five," accused former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski of having his legal fees paid by a Trump Super PAC, which prompted a demand for a retraction and an apology. "Tony Bobulinski's lawyers' fees have been paid by a Trump Super PAC that's as recent as January,” she claimed. Following the accusation, Bobulinski’s lawyer, Jesse R. Binnall, demanded an on-air retraction and an apology from Tarlov and threatened a defamation lawsuit against Fox if these demands weren’t met. "Let me be perfectly clear,” wrote Binnall. "We will immediately file...

On Wednesday, Tony Bobulinski testified before Congress in the ongoing impeachment investigation of Joe Biden. His damning testimony so triggered Jessica Tarlov, the liberal co-host on Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” that she sought to undermine it by accusing Bobulinski of having a pro-Trump PAC pay his legal fees. "Tony Bobulinski's lawyers' fees have been paid by a Trump Super PAC that's as recent as January,” she claimed before rehashing a false claim about Donald Trump. “Do you think that a guy who's invested in how much better off he wants the United States to be—and really getting to the...
