    Republican Rep. Predicts Biden Conviction Creates ‘Opening’ For Michelle Obama

      Could Hunter Biden’s latest gun conviction have some unintended consequences?

      Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) suggested in a Fox Business appearance that Hunter Biden’s conviction in the federal gun charges case could create “an opening” for Michelle Obama to make a future bid for the White House.

      Ogles responded to the verdict on Fox Business’s “Mornings with Maria” on Wednesday and emphasized the “need to pursue justice” before suggesting President Biden may drop out of the race amid his son’s guilty verdict.

      “That being said, I think it also creates an opening for Democrats like Michelle Obama in here. The Biden family can say, ‘Hey, we’re going to take care of our house, we’re going to take care of our son,’ and then allow Michelle Obama to come in and run,” he said.

      “Because again, Joe Biden can’t win this election, and they know that they are desperate for another candidate,” Ogles added.

      In his Wednesday appearance on Fox Business, Ogles echoed former President Trump’s campaign’s statement on the recent conviction. A campaign spokesperson called Hunter Biden’s conviction was “a distraction” from serious allegations of corruption against the Biden family.

      Ogles agreed that the guilty verdict was “absolutely” a distraction.

      “Look, obviously we always need to pursue justice. With that being said, the Biden crime family is guilty of taking tens of million dollars from foreign countries. That should be the main topic of conversation. That’s what should be prosecuted and adjudicated in court,” he said.

      Ogles is not the first lawmaker to float a potential White House run by Michelle Obama. The former First Lady’s office said earlier this year she “will not be running for president,” saying Obama “supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.”

      This TV Host Seeks to Represent Trump Supporters- There is One Glaring Issue

        Will Alyssah Farah Griffin become the new face of Trump supporters? That’s her new goal…

        The incoming conservative host for “The View” and former White House communications director who has taken a staunch stance against the former president says she wants to “represent” his millions of supporters.

        On Monday, Griffin joined “Good Morning America” to discuss her being named to the panel and the impact she hopes to have.

        According to The Daily Wire:

        “I’m a millennial and I worked in the Trump administration. I’ve also since criticized the former president,” Griffin explained, adding, “But I still want to be a voice for the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and kind of tell them, from my experience, here’s why I won’t support him again, but here’s what a future Republican Party can and should look like. So that’s really what I’m hoping to meet the audience with.”

        Griffin went on to take several potshots at the former president, saying that she certainly understood discussions could get heated among women who did not always see eye to eye. “Listen, by the way, I survived the Trump West Wing. I think I can survive ‘The View.’ We’ll see. I’ll be back to let you know,” she added.

        Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration on January 6, 2021, has since been quite vocal of her opposition to Trump. “As somebody who regrettably worked for Donald Trump, I do not want to see that man ever be president again,” she said.

        Griffin and Ana Navarro were both named as conservative hosts for “The View” over the summer, however, Navarro is not expected to join the panel every day.

        Elizabeth Warren Reveals Why Trump Called After Her Speech

          Liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said President Donald Trump called after she delivered a speech accusing him of raising costs and abusing power.

          “This morning, I gave a speech noting how Donald Trump is driving up costs for families, sowing terror and chaos in our communities, and abusing his power to prosecute anyone who criticizes him. I also laid out an argument for how Democrats should fight back and win,” Warren said in her statement.

          Warren spoke at a National Press Club event and later expanded on her criticisms during a question-and-answer session.

          “In my remarks, I made it clear that despite promising to lower costs On Day One, Trump has done nothing but raise costs for families,” she said in the statement.

          According to Warren, Trump contacted her after the event.

          “I told him that Congress can pass legislation to cap credit card rates if he will actually fight for it. I also urged him to get House Republicans to pass the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act,” that “would build more housing and lower costs,” she said in the statement.

          “President Trump and Sen. Warren had a productive call about credit card interest rates and housing affordability for the American people,” a White House official noted.

          The call comes after Trump posted on Truth Social last week proposing a temporary cap on credit card interest rates.

          “Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration,” he declared in the post.

          Report: Trump Has Narrowed His VP Search to Four Candidates

            Is Donald Trump close to selecting his running mate?

            While the former president still has months to pick his next potential vice president Axios reports the 2024 contender has already narrowed the pool of candidates to four.

            According to Axios, Trump is searching for a running mate with ferocious loyalty but that doesn’t outshine him. Sources close to Trump say Kari Lake is a leading contender but her rising political profile could deter him from selecting her.

            Lake, who lost the race for Arizona governor in November, has been rumored to be eyeing a Senate run in 2024 and has been considered a potential future White House contender. Axios reports that the Arizona Republican would likely be assumed to be angling for president from the day she entered the White House which could deter Trump from selecting her.

            Sources close to the 45th President said another strong fit for a potential VP choice would be Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. However, Gov. Sanders has been hesitant to openly endorse Trump’s latest White House campaign.

            The New York Times reported on March 4 that Trump is having difficulty garnering public support from former allies, noting that Trump was “disappointed” after Huckabee Sanders, his former White House press secretary, reportedly said she would not yet publicly support him. (RELATED: Trump Denies Asking GOP Governor for Endorsement)

            Former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is also being eyed as a strong choice for vice president.

            However, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung says it’s still too early to speculate on Trump’s VEEP choices.

            “Anyone who thinks they know what President Trump is going to do is seriously misinformed and trying to curry favor with ‘potential’ V.P. candidates.”

            “President Trump will choose his running mate on his own time, and those who are playing the media game are doing so at their own peril.”

            Axios also noted that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has also been included in vice presidential discussions.

            Trump Files Appeal In ‘Politically Charged’ Manhattan District Attorney Case

              Former President Donald Trump’s legal team has filed what they are calling a “powerhouse” appeal in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s high-profile case, urging New York’s appellate court to throw out the verdict and dismiss what they describe as “the most politically charged prosecution in our Nation’s history.”

              The 111-page appeal, obtained by Fox News Digital, was submitted late Monday night to the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division. Trump’s legal defense is led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr. of Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the nation’s top law firms.

              Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records, was found guilty in May 2025 after a six-week criminal trial in Manhattan—the first of its kind against a former U.S. president. The case, formally New York v. Trump, is now on hold until 2029 as the appellate process unfolds.

              “President Trump’s legal team filed a powerhouse appeal in the Manhattan DA’s Witch Hunt, as the President continues his fight to put an end to the Radical Democrat Lawfare once and for all,” a spokesman for the president’s legal team told Fox News Digital.

              “The Supreme Court’s historic decision on Immunity, the Federal and New York State Constitutions, and other established legal precedent mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately overturned and dismissed,” the spokesman continued.

              “President Trump will keep defeating Democrat weaponization at every turn as he focuses on his singular mission to Make America Great Again.”

              Context: Accusations of Political Motivation

              Since bringing the charges, Bragg—a Democrat who campaigned on holding Trump “accountable”—has faced sharp criticism from conservatives and legal analysts who argue that his case represents the politicization of the justice system. Critics say Bragg’s pursuit of Trump over bookkeeping entries stretches the bounds of state law and was designed to damage the Republican frontrunner ahead of the 2024 election.

              The case centered on allegations that Trump falsified business records related to payments made in 2016. Bragg’s decision to elevate what would typically be misdemeanor bookkeeping charges to felonies was widely viewed by Trump supporters as a legal overreach motivated by partisan politics.

              Trump’s allies have consistently framed the prosecution as part of a broader “witch hunt” by Democratic officials, pointing to multiple cases against him in different jurisdictions led by Democratic prosecutors. They argue that these prosecutions are part of an ongoing “lawfare” campaign intended to interfere with his political comeback.

              With the appeal now before the appellate division, Trump’s legal team is expected to press arguments rooted in constitutional protections, prosecutorial misconduct, and recent Supreme Court rulings that reaffirm presidential immunity for official acts.

              If successful, the appeal could not only overturn Trump’s conviction but also set a significant precedent curbing the ability of state prosecutors to pursue politically charged cases against current or former presidents.

              Joe and Hunter Biden to Go Down in History as First President-Son Duo to Face Simultaneous Investigations

                The Bidens will go down in the history books for all of the wrong reasons.

                President Biden and his son Hunter have made history as the first president-son duo to be simultaneously – but separately – under federal investigation.

                Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018 for his tax affairs which stems-in part- from suspicious activity reports (SARs) regarding some foreign transactions. Those SARs, according to sources familiar with the investigation, involved funds from “China and other foreign nations.”

                “This is the first time that in American history we have a sitting president and one of his children – in this case, his son – who are under formal investigation in the United States,” Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts, a historian of early American history, told Fox News Digital. “In thinking about this, investigating it, and putting all politics aside, I cannot think of an example that even gets close to this.”

                “I think it is important that as Americans strive to get out of the morass of current politics, and especially the unethical nature it seems of this current administration, that we realize the truth first,” Roberts continued. “And in this case, the truth hurts.”

                Joe Biden is under investigation after multiple batches of classified documents were discovered at the University of Pennsylvania Biden Center and his Wilmington, DE home.

                On Friday, another round of documents were discovered at Biden’s Delaware home. According to The Hill, Bob Bauer, a personal lawyer for Biden, said in a statement that the Justice Department was given access to the president’s home after previous searches in recent weeks turned up a total of 11 classified documents.

                “DOJ requested that the search not be made public in advance, in accordance with its standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer said.

                “DOJ had full access to the President’s home, including personally handwritten notes, files, papers, binders, memorabilia, to-do lists, schedules, and reminders going back decades,” Bauer continued. “DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years.”

                The search lasted roughly 13 hours, Bauer said, and covered working, living and storage spaces in the home. Representatives from Biden’s personal legal team and the White House counsel’s office were there while Justice Department officials conducted the search.

                Mike Lawler Announces Re-Election Campaign As Republicans Seek To Defend Razor-Thin Majority

                Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief…

                On Wednesday morning, Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York announced he will seek re-election in next year’s midterms in his crucial battleground House district, which covers a large swath of New York City’s northern suburbs.

                Lawler, who announced his news in an interview Wednesday morning on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends,” had been seriously considering a bid for New York State governor.

                “There’s no question Kathy Hochul is the worst governor in America,” Lawler told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, before adding, “In 2026, she needs to be defeated. But after months of deliberating over this and really working through it, I’ve decided the right thing to do for me and my family and my district is to run for re-election.”

                His news is seen as a major relief to the White House and congressional Republicans, who are defending their razor-thin House majority in the 2026 midterms. 

                Top House Republicans as well as President Donald Trump had pressed Lawler to seek re-election, and Fox News confirmed that Lawler met with Trump last week at the White House to discuss his 2026 plans and other issues.

                “While I fundamentally believe I am best positioned to take on Kathy Hochul and offer New Yorkers a real choice for Governor, I have made the decision to run for re-election to the House and continue the important work I’ve been doing over the past two and a half years,” Lawler shared in a statement with Fox News Digital Wednesday morning. 

                The Democratic Governors Association called Lawler’s decision a “humiliating setback” for Republicans, arguing that his choice means he doesn’t believe a Republican can win statewide.

                However, Republicans now seem likely to avoid a hotly contested primary, as they said they hoped only one of Lawler or Elise Stefanik would go forward with a gubernatorial run.

                Elise Stefanik released a statement Wednesday morning, calling Republicans “more unified than ever in our mission to fire the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul in 2026” and Lawler a “great, effective, and hardworking Representative for New York’s 17th Congressional District.”

                “As I have previously stated, I am focused on supporting strong Republican local and county candidates on the ballot this November to lay the groundwork with a strong team for next year. I will make a final decision and announcement after this year’s November election which we are all focused on,” Stefanik added. 

                Stefanik seems all but certain to run for governor, with a source familiar with her thinking telling The Hill last month that “it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”

                Republicans have been hopeful that they could seriously compete for the office in 2026 after impressive performances in recent years. Hochul only won reelection in 2022 by about 6 points, a much closer margin than observers expected.

                Trump also made significant gains in New York in last year’s presidential election, while still falling short by double digits of victory in the state.

                Jury To Hear Election Workers’ Case Against Rudy Giuliani

                  A Washington, D.C. federal judge ruled Sunday that a jury will hear and decide a case to determine how much ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani owes two Georgia poll workers for falsely claiming they helped steal the 2020 election from former President Trump.

                  U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell denied Giuliani’s request to hold a bench trial instead of a jury trial, meaning the judge would decide the case instead of a jury. In her ruling, she chided him for the “significantly tardy” motion, having set an October deadline for all pre-trial motions, according to The Hill.

                  “Perhaps Giuliani’s submission is titled a ‘Trial Brief,’ rather than a motion seeking to convert the scheduled jury trial to a hearing, in a fairly blatant effort to avoid being called out for filing an untimely pretrial motion,” Howell wrote in a footnote.

                  Following the 2020 election, Giuliani falsely claimed Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss committed election fraud by processing “suitcases” of illicit ballots in Georgia.

                  The two election workers sued Giuliani, and as their case proceeded, he failed to turn over evidence despite “repeated reminders” from the court. Howell in August found Giuliani civilly liable for Freeman and Moss’s claims of “defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, civil conspiracy, and punitive damage,” citing the longtime Trump ally’s “willful shirking of his discovery obligations” as reason.

                  In her Sunday opinion, Howell again cited Giuliani’s “discovery misconduct” as a reason to deny his request for a bench trial.

                  “This Court will not reward him for conduct that has ‘already resulted in significant prejudice to Plaintiffs,’” Howell wrote, quoting her earlier decision.

                  Is Vivek Ramaswamy The GOP’s New Trump ‘Lite’?

                  Vivek Ramaswamy speaking with attendees at the 2022 AmericaFest at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

                  ANALYSIS- Who is this skinny guy with the funny-sounding name? (That was his opening line at the debate). Vivek Ramaswamy wasn’t supposed to be at the center of the first Republican presidential candidate debate in Milwaukee.

                  Ron DeSantis was supposed to be the viable GOP alternative to Donald Trump. A two-term governor of the third most populous state in the union, DeSantis, a Navy veteran who served in Iraq, is as conservative as they come.

                  And he has a proven track record of fighting the left in Florida – and winning.

                  But despite his solid bona fides and resume, DeSantis has a personality problem. He just doesn’t exude charm or confidence, and that’s hurting him – a lot.

                  Meanwhile, Ramaswamy the 38-year-old Trump-defending, Cincinnati-born, biotech billionaire (worth at least $950 million), son of Pakistani immigrants, kind of stole the show at the debate.

                  According to former FBI agent and body language expert, Joe Navarro: “[Ramaswamy] consistently looked the most comfortable on stage.”

                  He was also the most openly and unabashedly pro-Trump. He was the first candidate to raise their hand when asked who would support the former President as the party nominee even if he is convicted on felony charges that he’s facing.

                  He has also promised to pardon Trump if elected. But he went even farther than that.

                  “President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century,” Ramaswamy said in a clip from the debate Trump posted on Truth Social.

                  And Trump loved it.

                  “This answer gave Vivek Ramaswamy a big WIN in the debate because of a thing called TRUTH. Thank you, Vivek!”

                  The ever-smiling political newbie Ramaswamy, who seemed to be having a blast on stage, was also the target of many of his GOP rivals.

                  As TIME reported:

                  Maybe it was Ramaswamy’s consistent and confounding defense of All Things Trump. Maybe it was his smooth talk and culture-war acumen. Maybe it was just the fact that Ramaswamy frankly does not care how things were done before and might just have enough self-made money to go the distance.

                  Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie snarled that he had “had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like ChatGPT,” an A.I. battery. He then dismissed Ramaswamy as someone on the same level as a political figure universally loathed in the GOP. “The last person in one of these debates… who stood in the middle of the stage and said, ‘What is a skinny guy with an odd last name doing up here?’ was Barack Obama. And I am afraid we are dealing with the same type of amateur standing on the stage tonight,” Christie said.

                  But the quick witted Ramaswamy’s riposte to Christie was a zinger: “Give me a hug like you did to Obama, and you’ll help elect me just like you did to Obama. Give me the damn hug, brother.”

                  Ramaswamy was referring to the 2012 incident when Christie was accused of “hugging” Obama during his visit in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy which hit days before the 2012 presidential election.

                  It’s a claim that Christie has been denying since then, saying: “I didn’t hug him.”

                  Photos at the time seem to back up Christie, but the zinger still worked.

                  Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN under Trump, and ex-South Carolina governor, Nikki Haley, who is of Indian descent, hit Ramaswamy too: “You have no foreign policy experience, and it shows.”

                  I would agree with that assessment and believe he has made a few deeply flawed important national security statements – including on Ukraine and Israel.

                  But he is super smart and can learn quickly.

                  Then Vice President Mike Pence took a Christie-like jab at Ramaswamy, attacking the very same quality that originally helped raise Trump in the GOP base – that he is not a politician.

                  “Now it’s not the time for on-the-job training,” retorted Pence. “We don’t need to bring in a rookie. We don’t need to bring in people with no experience.”

                  AS TIME noted: “Attacks during debates are the norm but this was different. Ramaswamy’s competitors really don’t like him. Not even a little.”

                  However, there is one important GOP rival who seems to like Ramaswamy – Donald Trump. And that could be all that matters.

                  Fetterman Says Republicans and Democrats Only Agree On One Thing

                    Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman (D) says he thinks colleagues are hoping for the worst…

                    During a recent interview with The New York Times, Fetterman said he thinks both the right and the left sides of the political spectrum hope he gets another blood clot and dies.

                    “What I have found out over the last couple years is that the Right, and now the Left, are hoping that I die,” Fetterman blatantly told the Times.

                    In May of last year during his campaign, Fetterman endured a massive stroke that nearly killed him. In early February, Fetterman was hospitalized for two days after feeling lightheaded while attending a day-long retreat for Senate Democrats. Doctors ran tests to confirm he was not having another stroke and monitored him for seizures, the senator’s team said at the time.

                    Later in February, Fetterman checked himself into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for clinical depression and was treated there for six weeks.

                    “There are ones that are rooting for another blood clot. They have both now been wishing that I die,” the senator added.

                    The Pennsylvania Democrat stopped short of identifying any specific lawmaker or examples to support his characterization. However, Republican lawmakers have expressed uncertainty over Fetterman’s health to effectively serve in his office.

                    The 53-year-old, 6-foot, 8-inch senator has become known for his casual outfits around the Senate floor, sparking criticism from colleagues.

                    Earlier in December, Fetterman said he is “not a progressive” after being asked about his differences with Democrats.

                    “I’m not a progressive,” Fetterman said in an interview with NBC News. “I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to choice and other things. But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that. And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”
