Could the presidential primary field see another competitor soon? Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan says he is still considering entering the 2024 presidential race. “However I can serve, I’m still trying to figure that out, but I’m not walking away,” Hogan told Bloomberg. “If I thought there was a path to success to win the race, then I just said I wouldn’t shut the door to that opportunity,” said the two-term former governor. Hogan’s comments come as a surprise as the former Governor said earlier this year he would not seek the Republican nomination. (RELATED: Larry Hogan Passes on White House…

Some Republicans have reportedly signaled an interest in changing House rules in an effort to avoid similar chaos in the future. Monday evening House Republicans gathered for a conference meeting ahead of Tuesday’s candidate forum. However, while little was determined during Monday’s meeting some Republicans questioned whether it’s necessary to raise the threshold needed to put a candidate on the House floor. Fox News Digital was told that House GOP leaders are weighing an amendment to the current House rules that would temporarily raise the threshold needed to win from a simple majority to 217 or 218 votes. In January,…
Former President Donald Trump has reportedly canceled his planned trip to Capitol Hill this week as House Republicans struggle to elect a new House Speaker. Sources previously told The Hill that Trump and his team were discussing a possible trip to Capitol Hill amid the debate over the next Speaker. Fox News had reported Trump was expected to visit Capitol Hill, but on Monday reported that would no longer happen. Last week, McCarthy was ousted by the votes of eight Republicans and all House Democrats thanks to a rule change McCarthy agreed to when he was elected speaker. (RELATED: Report: McCarthy Will Not…
Some Republicans are considering a move to reinstate Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as House Speaker in the wake of the deadly attacks in Israel. On Saturday morning, Palestine militant group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare war on the organization and order retaliatory action. “Israel attacks have moderates holding out for the one person who can truly unite us: Kevin McCarthy,” a House GOP lawmaker said. Last week, McCarthy was ousted by the votes of eight Republicans and all House Democrats thanks to a rule change McCarthy agreed to when he…
Two United States lawmakers were still in Israel when Palestine militant group Hamas attacked the nation Saturday morning. On Monday, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) described his escape from Tel Aviv with his family over the weekend as “traumatic,” but said that it did not compare to the violence breaking out in other parts of Israel. “I mean, our experience was traumatic. But of course it is nothing compared to so many Israelis down in the south just massacred with barbarism that we have not seen,” Goldman said on NBC’s “Today Show.” Rep. Goldman said that he awoke to sirens about 6:30…
New details are coming to light in the deadly conflict in Gaza… According to new reports from Fox News, officials say that at least 1,100 people have died in the Israel-Hamas war that began on Saturday morning, with thousands more injured. At least 700 people in Israel were killed, and officials say that at least 260 people were killed at a music festival in southern Israel.

The Gaza Health Ministry estimated that 413…
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the U.S. stands firmly by Israel and will ensure it “has what it needs to defend itself” after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war against Palestinian militants that launched a surprise attack on his country. Austin said in a statement he was “closely monitoring developments in Israel” and extended his condolences to families of the victims who lost their lives in the Saturday attack. “Our commitment to Israel’s right to defend itself remains unwavering,” Austin said. “Over the coming days the Department of Defense will work to ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself and…
An attorney representing President Biden’s son Hunter in a felony gun case has filed to withdraw from the case. Richard Jones filed the request Friday, less than a week after Hunter pleaded not guilty to federal gun charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware after being charged out of Special Counsel David Weiss’ years-long investigation. “Mr. Biden has been advised of, and consents to, our withdrawal. He also agrees this withdrawal will cause no material adverse effect or prejudice to him and remains completely satisfied with Messrs. [Abbe] Lowell’s and [Bartholomew] Dalton’s continued representation of him,” reads the document…
The recently announced and highly anticipated televised Fox News forum with three contenders for House Speaker fell apart on Friday. Host Bret Baier was scheduled to host House Majority Leader Scalise (R-La.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) for a Monday event that Fox News billed as a “joint interview” rather than a debate. However, shortly after the event was announced it prompted backlash from GOP members who called to adjust the plan. A spokesperson for Jordan first said he wanted to adjust the schedule so that the candidates talk to…
The two GOP presidential debates continued to put abortion center-stage for candidates and voters. It’s clear that, just as in the last two presidential elections and last year’s midterms, it will be a top issue during the primary and general elections. The divisive nature of abortion makes coverage challenging because it’s a journalist’s job to give voters the information they need without the spin seen on opinion shows and Twitter. Even harder is covering such a sensitive issue in a compassionate way toward the one in four women — and their partners — who have experienced abortion. Our political discourse…
