Democrat Files Articles Of Impeachment Against Kristi Noem

On Wednesday, Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Kelly outlined three impeachment articles against the secretary, accusing Noem of obstruction of Congress, “violation of public trust” and “self-dealing.”

“Secretary Noem has brought her reign of terror to the Chicagoland area, L.A., New Orleans, Charlotte, Durham, and communities north to south to east to west,” Kelly said at the press conference. “She needs to be held accountable for her actions.”

The Hill reports:

The first impeachment article alleges Noem denied Kelly and other members of Congress “oversight of ICE detention facilities,” the congresswoman said at her presser.

Kelly explained the second article, which accuses Noem of violating public trust, by saying Noem “directed DHS agents to arrest people without warrants, use tear gas against citizens, and ignore due process.”

Kelly said Noem frequently says “she’s taking murderers and rapists off our streets, but none of the 614 people arrested during Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago has been charged or convicted of murder or rape.”

On the third impeachment article, which accuses the secretary of self-dealing, Kelly said Noem “abused her power for personal benefit,” and “steered a federal contract to a new firm run by a friend.”

Kelly announced her intention to file the impeachment articles last week, after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis.

Jonathan Ross, ICE agent who shot Good in her car last week in Minneapolis, experienced internal bleeding as a result of the encounter, officials claim.

In video shot by an eyewitness, Ross and other ICE agents were seen approaching Good’s red Honda Pilot as she blocked a road during an ICE operation. When one of the agents ordered Good to “get out of the f*cking car” and stuck his hands in the vehicle, she tried to drive off. That’s when Ross, who was in front of the car, fired off three shots. Good was pronounced dead a short time later.

The Trump administration has argued that the shooting was justified as self-defense, going so far as to call Good a “deranged leftist” and “domestic terrorist” who was looking to harm federal agents.

Video shows Ross walking away on his own after firing the fatal shots. Noem said at the time that he was hospitalized, but she did not specify his injuries.

The congresswoman said that as of Wednesday morning the measure has the support of almost 70 members of Congress.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) brushed off the impeachment effort as “silly.”

“How silly during a serious time. As ICE officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them, Rep. Kelly is more focused on showmanship and fundraising clicks than actually cleaning up her crime-ridden Chicago district,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Hill.

“We hope she would get serious about doing her job to protect American people, which is what this Department is doing under Secretary Noem.”

Secret Service Agent Placed On Leave After Disclosing Sensitive Vance Info

A U.S. Secret Service (USSS) employee assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail has been placed on administrative leave after an undercover video released by independent journalist James O’Keefe allegedly showed the employee leaking sensitive security information, according to Fox News.

The Secret Service confirmed it is investigating the incident and said the employee’s security clearance has been suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked. The episode is reigniting concerns about operational security inside the agency at a time when national political tensions—and threats against Republican leaders—are already at historic highs.

USSS Deputy Director Matthew Quinn told Fox News in a statement:

“The U.S. Secret Service has no tolerance for any behavior that could potentially compromise the safety, privacy or trust of our protectees. This incident is under investigation and the employee involved has been placed on administrative leave with his clearance suspended and access to agency facilities and systems revoked.

“The U.S. Secret Service has also issued an order for all personnel to retake the agency’s required anti-espionage training in order to ensure employees are aware of the threats posed by individuals aiming to exploit agency employees for information about our protective operations,” Quinn added.

“The U.S. Secret Service has a 160-year-old tradition of discretion that sets this agency apart, and we have no tolerance for employees who fail to meet this standard. The U.S. Secret Service deeply apologizes to the Vance family for this violation of their trust and privacy. The faith our protectees place in this agency is not something the U.S. Secret Service takes lightly, and we are committed to taking the necessary actions to ensure that a similar breach of standards does not occur again,” the statement concluded.

Undercover Footage Allegedly Shows Agent Sharing Sensitive Protection Details

In a post on X, O’Keefe claimed undercover footage shows a USSS agent assigned to Vice President Vance’s protective detail sharing sensitive information with someone he believed was a romantic interest.

According to O’Keefe, the agent discussed protective formations, shift schedules, travel movements and advance security procedures, and allegedly sent images while aboard Air Force Two. In the post, O’Keefe wrote that the agent was “recorded on hidden camera providing an undercover journalist with sensitive security information” and allegedly discussed “protective formations, shift schedules, travel plans, & real-time locations.”

O’Keefe also claimed the employee shared information “sometimes days in advance” and acknowledged signing paperwork prohibiting disclosure of the privileged details.

O’Keefe alleged the agent is a “holdover from the Biden administration” who holds anti-ICE and anti-Trump administration personal views—an accusation that, if substantiated, is likely to raise new scrutiny over internal culture and accountability inside an agency that is supposed to remain professional and nonpartisan.

O’Keefe said his organization coordinated with the Secret Service before publication and redacted certain operational details at the agency’s request.

Watch:

A Serious Breach as Political Threats Surge

The incident comes as political violence and targeted threats are becoming a grim reality for Republican leaders, including both President Trump and Vice President Vance.

In recent weeks, the threats against Vance have not been theoretical. A federal judge ordered a Cincinnati man accused of vandalizing Vance’s home to remain jailed ahead of trial after prosecutors alleged he breached the property line and damaged windows and security systems.

The Secret Service was also recently notified of a volunteer radio show host posting assassination threats against VP Vance on the left-wing website Bluesky.

“It’s simple, we kill JD Vance,” said the person behind an account named hanslopez.bsky.social. The person identified themselves as a host of a radio show on WUML, which is funded by the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. The comment was made in response to another Bluesky user who claimed that, “JD VANCE THINKS BRITAIN & FRANCE ARE AMERICAS [sic] LIKELY ENEMIES.”

When the school learned of the post, it contacted authorities, according to a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

“UMass Lowell police promptly coordinated with the FBI, Secret Service and Haverhill police the same day to ensure an appropriate response,” the school said. “Contact was made with the individual in question, and the necessary assessments were conducted in collaboration with federal partners. Authorities confirmed there was no immediate threat.”

More broadly, the Secret Service has faced increasing scrutiny since the assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. A Senate Judiciary Committee release tied to a Grassley-requested report said the Secret Service received classified intelligence about a threat to Trump roughly 10 days before the rally—but failed to share it with law enforcement responsible for securing the event.

That backdrop makes the alleged leak involving Vance’s detail even more alarming to critics, since protective operations depend heavily on secrecy, discipline, and strict compliance—not casual conversation or personal judgment calls.

What Happens Next

The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the president, vice president and other designated officials, operating under strict confidentiality rules governing operations.

Officials have not provided a timeline for the investigation’s completion, and it remains unclear whether criminal charges could follow.

Republican Senator Calls On Congress To Investigate DOJ Over Fed ‘Coercion’

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is calling for a congressional investigation into the Justice Department after the Trump administration announced a probe into Jerome Powell.

Murkowski said she spoke with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Monday morning and backed Sen. Thom Tillis’s (R-N.C.) decision to block any of President Trump’s nominees to the Federal Reserve until the dispute is resolved.

“After speaking with Chair Powell this morning, it’s clear the administration’s investigation is nothing more than an attempt at coercion,” Murkowski said in a statement. “If the Department of Justice believes an investigation into Chair Powell is warranted based on project cost overruns—which are not unusual—then Congress needs to investigate the Department of Justice.”

“The stakes are too high to look the other way: if the Federal Reserve loses its independence, the stability of our markets and the broader economy will suffer,” she continued. “My colleague, Senator Tillis, is right in blocking any Federal Reserve nominees until this is resolved.”

DOJ probe focuses on Fed renovation as Powell warns of criminal referral

The controversy intensified after the Justice Department (DOJ) announced Sunday that it would investigate the Fed’s multi-billion-dollar renovation of its Washington headquarters—an issue that has raised questions in both parties about government spending discipline and transparency.

Powell said soon after the DOJ announcement that federal investigators served the Fed with grand jury subpoenas and threatened a criminal indictment related to his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in June.

The renovation at the Fed has been estimated at $2.5 billion, and Powell’s June testimony focused heavily on the project’s scope and costs—an issue likely to draw scrutiny from fiscal conservatives already skeptical of unchecked spending in Washington.

Still, Powell argued that the DOJ’s actions go beyond normal oversight.

“The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President,” Powell said in his Sunday statement.

“This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation,” he added.

Trump pushes for rate cuts amid economic pressure and political fallout

President Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates fast enough—especially as polls show declining support for the president’s handling of the economy. Trump allies have argued that high rates are squeezing families, slowing growth, and driving up borrowing costs for mortgages, credit cards, and small businesses.

At the same time, many conservatives have long argued the Federal Reserve should not operate as an untouchable institution, particularly when inflation and instability hit working Americans hardest. Critics say the Fed often avoids consequences even when its decisions contribute to economic volatility, while everyday Americans are left paying the price.

Powell’s term as chair expires in May.

End Of The Line: Trump Ramps Up Complaints About ‘Weak’ and ‘Ineffective’ Pam Bondi

Is it only a matter of time?

President Donald Trump has privately expressed growing frustration with Attorney General Pam Bondi in recent weeks, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Monday, fueling renewed speculation about whether she could become the first Cabinet official replaced in his second term.

The Journal reported that Trump has complained repeatedly to aides that Bondi has been “weak” and “ineffective” in carrying out his priorities at the Department of Justice. While Trump has continued to praise Bondi publicly, people familiar with internal discussions say his criticism behind the scenes has intensified as he presses the department to move more aggressively on investigations tied to his political and legal grievances.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and longtime Trump ally, has been viewed by many inside and outside the administration as politically aligned with the president’s worldview and loyal to his agenda. Her close relationship with Trump dates back more than a decade, including her role as a prominent defender during his first impeachment and her work supporting his 2016 and 2020 campaigns. That history has made Trump’s apparent dissatisfaction all the more striking.

One recent flashpoint came with Bondi’s handling of materials related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi had publicly suggested that relevant files were “on her desk,” raising expectations among Trump’s supporters that long-sought disclosures were imminent. When the Justice Department later released binders that critics said contained largely irrelevant or already public information, backlash quickly spread across conservative media and among grassroots MAGA activists. The episode contributed to perceptions among some Trump allies that Bondi had overpromised and underdelivered.

Trump’s frustrations, according to the Journal, are part of a broader effort to pressure the Justice Department to act more forcefully against figures he views as responsible for years of investigations into his conduct. The report noted that Trump has discussed appointing special counsels as a way to bypass what he sees as slow-moving or resistant leadership at DOJ. Chief among his complaints is Bondi’s failure, in his view, to pursue criminal cases against individuals such as former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Those grievances are not new. Last September, Trump inadvertently posted to Truth Social a message that appeared to be intended as a private communication to Bondi. Addressed to “Pam,” the post urged her to pursue legal action against Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff, and James, whom Trump accused of wrongdoing. “They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,” Trump wrote, adding that delays were damaging the administration’s “reputation and credibility.” The post was later deleted, and reporting indicated it had been meant as a direct message rather than a public statement.

Despite his private complaints, Trump has continued to defend Bondi in public. In a statement included in the Journal’s report, Trump said, “Pam is doing an excellent job. She has been my friend for many years. Tremendous progress is being made against radical left lunatics who are good at only one thing, cheating in elections and the crimes they commit.”

Still, some of Trump’s closest allies say patience among his supporters is wearing thin. Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser and influential voice in conservative media, told the Journal that Bondi is “bleeding support from her and President Trump’s most loyal troops.” “Folks are desperate for action and just haven’t seen it,” Bannon said.

Trump’s dissatisfaction with his attorney general also fits a familiar pattern. During his first term, he frequently clashed with then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions, publicly criticizing him for recusing himself from the Russia investigation and accusing him of failing to use the Justice Department to defend the president. Trump has long bristled at institutional constraints within DOJ, arguing that they have been selectively enforced against him and his allies.

For now, there is no indication that Trump has made a final decision about Bondi’s future.

Republican Lawmaker Moves To Make Greenland 51st State

A House Republican is moving to back President Donald Trump’s long-standing push to bring Greenland under U.S. control, introducing legislation that could place the Arctic territory on a fast track toward eventually becoming America’s 51st state.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) announced Monday that he is introducing a bill authorizing President Trump “to take such steps as may be necessary” to acquire Greenland and begin the process that could ultimately lead to statehood. While the bill would not automatically make Greenland a state, it would formally align Congress with the president’s efforts and remove barriers to negotiation.

“I think it is in the world’s interest for the United States to exert sovereignty over Greenland,” Fine told Fox News Digital in an interview.

“Congress would still have to choose to make it a state, but this would simply authorize the president to do what he’s doing and say the Congress stands behind him. And then it would expedite it into becoming a state, but it would still be up to Congress about whether to do that.”

The renewed push comes as Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed last week that he would be meeting with Danish officials to discuss Greenland, signaling that the issue has moved beyond rhetoric and into serious diplomatic engagement.

President Trump first floated the idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland during his initial term, drawing criticism from Democrats and European elites but sparking quiet agreement among national security experts. Greenland’s strategic location in the Arctic places it along key military and shipping routes near Russia and China, and the island is believed to hold vast reserves of critical minerals essential for advanced technology, defense systems, and energy production.

Republicans argue that as global competition intensifies, especially with adversaries like China and Russia aggressively expanding their Arctic presence, U.S. leadership in the region is no longer optional.

Fine echoed those arguments while also emphasizing what he sees as Denmark’s failure to adequately govern and protect Greenland’s population.

“Their poverty rate is high. Denmark hasn’t treated them well,” Fine said. “When war came to town, Denmark couldn’t protect them. Guess who protected Greenland during World War II? We did.”

During World War II, the United States assumed responsibility for Greenland’s defense after Nazi Germany occupied Denmark, a historical point Republicans frequently cite as evidence of America’s longstanding role in safeguarding the island.

Still, some GOP lawmakers were caught off guard earlier this month when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to rule out the use of military force if negotiations were to fail. While many Republicans agree with the strategic rationale behind U.S. ownership, there is broad consensus that any acquisition should be peaceful and voluntary.

Asked directly whether he would support military action, Fine emphasized diplomacy.

“I think the best way to acquire Greenland is voluntarily.”

He also criticized Greenland’s current governance structure, framing the issue as both a strategic and ideological concern.

“The poverty rate in Greenland is much, much higher than it is in Denmark. The country is run by socialists, and it is not in America’s interests to have a territory that large between the United States and Russia run by socialists,” Fine said.

Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress holds the power to admit new states into the Union. The process typically involves Congress passing legislation authorizing statehood, followed by the drafting of a state constitution by the territory’s residents. That constitution must be approved locally before Congress votes again to formally admit the state, with final approval coming from the president.

Supporters of the Greenland proposal argue that while statehood would be a lengthy process, securing U.S. sovereignty now would strengthen national security, protect American economic interests, and offer Greenland’s residents greater opportunity and stability under U.S. governance.

Justice Department Opens Criminal Probe Into Fed Chair Jerome Powell

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, focusing on the costly renovation of the central bank’s Washington headquarters and whether Powell misled Congress about the scope of the project, The New York Times reported. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, with approval from Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, are examining Powell’s public statements and spending records related to the renovation of the Federal Reserve’s Marriner S. Eccles Building and a nearby structure.

The sprawling $2.5 billion renovation, begun in 2022 and slated for completion in 2027, has drawn intense scrutiny from the White House and Republican allies, who argue the cost overruns and planning discrepancies reflect mismanagement. Federal officials say the increases stem from inflation, supply chain pressures, and unforeseen issues such as asbestos and soil contamination.

Powell, in a video released shortly before the Times report, forcefully denied the investigation was about renovation misstatements. He said it was instead retaliation for his resistance to White House pressure to sharply cut U.S. interest rates.

“This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings,” Powell said, adding that the Fed had “made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project.”

Watch:

Powell characterized the threat of criminal charges as a broader challenge to the Federal Reserve’s independence. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President,” he said in the statement. “This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.”

The focus on Powell’s testimony stems from his June appearance before the Senate Banking Committee, when he addressed questions about whether luxury amenities—such as VIP dining spaces, special elevators, marble finishes, and rooftop gardens included in early planning documents—made it into final renovation plans. Powell testified they had not; critics argue internal documents contradict that characterization.

President Trump’s reaction amplified the already heightened tensions. Trump, who has repeatedly criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates as aggressively as he prefers, denied having direct knowledge of the investigation, but attacked Powell’s performance. In a brief television interview, the president said:

“I don’t know anything about it, but he’s certainly not very good at the Fed, and he’s not very good at building buildings,” adding that Powell “hurt a lot of people” by keeping rates too high.

Trump has in recent months publicly disparaged Powell, branding him with nicknames like “Too Late Powell” for perceived slowness in reducing interest rates and threatening legal action over the renovation costs. In late December, he said he was contemplating a lawsuit against Powell for “gross incompetence” regarding the renovation, claiming the project would cost “more than $4 billion — $4 billion!” and blasting it as “the highest price of construction per square foot in the history of the world.”

Although Trump suggested suing or firing Powell, legal experts note that the president cannot remove a Fed chair without cause under current law, and Powell’s term as chair expires in May 2026. Trump is widely expected to announce his successor around that time if he chooses not to renominate Powell.

The investigation’s escalation has drawn concern from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, with critics warning it could undermine the Federal Reserve’s long-held independence and rattle financial markets.

President Donald Trump will interview Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer of global fixed income, this week to possibly be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, administration sources told FOX Business.

The sources said the interview with Rieder will take place on Thursday at the White House. It will include Trump, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino.

This will be the fourth and last interview with a candidate to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, the sources said. Powell’s term as chairman ends on May 15. He was nominated by Trump to lead the Fed in 2017 and confirmed in 2018.

    On Sunday, President Trump’s motorcade was rerouted after a “suspicious object” was found at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).

    The Hill reported that the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) discovered the object during advance sweeps at the president’s usual airport in Florida, prompting the motorcade to take a different route than usual to get to the airport, taking a circular route around town.

    “During advance sweeps of PBI Airport, a suspicious object was discovered by USSS. A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

    Police officers on motorcycles were traveling alongside the president’s motorcade. Air Force One parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it usually is located. The lights outside the plane were off when the motorcade arrived.

    Trump Issues Ultimatum To Cuba

    Time is running out…

    President Donald J. Trump doubled down on his firm foreign-policy agenda Sunday, delivering a stark ultimatum to the Communist regime in Cuba.

    In a Truth Social post, Trump declared: “THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA — ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”

    The warning comes on the heels of a decisive U.S. operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro — a key ally of Havana — by U.S. forces, a watershed moment in halting the flow of oil and cash that long sustained Cuba’s moribund economy.

    Trump noted bluntly that Cuba has long depended on “large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela” — support that has now effectively ended following the removal of Maduro from power.

    The Trump administration has aggressively moved to isolate regimes that bankroll corruption, undermine democracy, and threaten American security. Venezuela’s massive oil reserves once underpinned its regional influence, including subsidized shipments to Havana — a relationship the president has now dismantled as part of a broader push to reshape Western Hemisphere energy flows and break the grip of hostile governments.

    In recent days Trump also publicly characterized Cuba’s authoritarian leadership as “sick” and close to collapse without Venezuelan support — a reflection of the island’s deep economic crisis and prolonged energy shortages in the absence of Maduro’s patronage.

    While Trump provides Cuban leaders a clear path — negotiate and engage on terms favorable to the U.S. — Havana has so far refused to back down.

    Trump Family Member Reveals Why She Will ‘Never’ Get Into Politics

    While politics might run in the family, one Trump is staying far away…

    President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, who is slated to play college golf next fall at the University of Miami, said she has no interest in following in her grandfather’s footsteps.

    “To be honest with you, I stay out of politics completely. I would never run, I don’t want anything to do with politics,” Trump said during an appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast. “I feel like politics is such a dangerous thing, and I think if both sides met in the middle, everyone would be so much more happier.”

    Trump said people have gotten “too extreme” on both sides of the coin, and social media has driven people to hone in on their beliefs.

    “There’s not a lot of things on social media where you’re very much in the middle. And I think that kind of makes some people crazy and some people buy into it too much,” Trump added. “I think that’s like the best way to say it. There’s no bad blood. I’m very much in the middle and kind of like, it is what it is. They ran against each other [Trump and Kamala Harris]. Obviously, I’m gonna support my grandpa, my family member, but that’s pretty much it.”

    The closest Trump has dove into the political waters was when she spoke at the Republican National Convention just days after her grandfather was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.

    In an interview with Fox News Digital in October, Trump said she was “proud” of her grandfather after he brokered the historic ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

    “Always will support him. I think he’s doing amazing things,” she said.

    White Kai Trump may not be interested in politics the same can’t be said for her father, Donald Trump Jr., who has been floated as a future presidential contender. Don Jr, the eldest of the two sons Trump had with Ivana, channels his father’s combative style and is viewed by many as a bridge between Trump’s base.

    The Independent reports:

    Back in August, a McLaughlin & Associates survey had Vance sitting pretty at 36 per cent, with Donald Trump Jr a distant second at 16 per cent. By October, that gap had narrowed, with [VP] Vance at 38 per cent and Trump Jr at 20 per cent (Rubio was in third place at 7 per cent). Then came the November poll, which probably sent shockwaves through Vance’s inner circle: the vice president’s support had slipped to 34 per cent, while Trump Jr had surged.

    “I’m a Second Amendment person, and I don’t know anything about Vance’s position on it,” says Liz Mair, veteran Republican strategist. “For a real Second Amendment voter, the only people I would truly be comfortable supporting right now would be Donald Trump Jr or Ron DeSantis. And I’d probably be more comfortable with Donald Trump Jr. It depends on each state, but for diehard gun voters, it’s a significant issue, and it was one reason Trump Sr had challenges in 2016.”

    Trump Jr has played his hand with characteristic bravado, dismissing speculation in one media organisation that he intends to run. “I’m actually glad you’re printing this bulls**t,” he wrote on X, “because at least now the rest of the press corps will see how s****y your ‘sources’ are and how easily you’re played by them. Congrats, moron.”

    Yet, as is often the case in this family, denials are never absolute. In May 2025, when asked at a panel in Qatar if he would “pick up the reins” after Trump leaves office, he replied: “I don’t know. Maybe one day, you know, that calling is there.” Junior wields that ambiguity like a political weapon – a constant reminder that another Trump is waiting in the wings.

    VP Vance Predicts ‘Dumbest’ Democrat Candidate Will Secure Nomination In 2028

    Vice President JD Vance took aim at the Democratic Party’s likely 2028 presidential contenders during a lighthearted but pointed exchange on Fox News, joking that the party’s “dumbest” candidate is most likely to emerge from the primary.

    In an exclusive interview released Wednesday on Jesse Watters Primetime, Watters raised speculation about California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s national ambitions, noting the governor’s frequent media appearances and rumored White House aspirations.

    “Gavin Newsom, obviously, is running for president. Have you seen this guy cross his legs? Have you ever seen anyone cross their legs like that?” Watters asked jokingly.

    “My legs don’t cross like that, Jesse,” Vance replied with a laugh. “You can interpret that however you want to.”

    Watters went on to frame the looming Democratic contest as a showdown between Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris.

    “Gavin and Kamala are on a collision course,” Watters said. “Who’s gonna win?”

    “The dumbest candidate will probably win,” Vance quipped. “That’s my guess with the Democratic Party.”

    Vance argued that the current Democratic bench reflects deeper structural problems within the party, particularly its fixation on identity politics over competence.

    “I mean, look, the Democrats have a couple of big issues, and one is that they lean so far into wokeism that they can’t see the obviousness of the fact, which is that Kamala Harris is not qualified to be president of the United States,” Vance said.

    “That’s why she got the vice presidential nomination. That’s why she got the presidential nomination. This is who Kamala Harris is.”

    Vance contrasted Harris with Newsom, describing the California governor as emblematic of failed progressive governance.

    “Now, the flip side is, I think you have an unbelievably corrupt and incompetent governor in Gavin Newsom,” he said. “The fact that those are the two frontrunners just suggests how deeply deranged the Democrat Party is. Let them fight it out. We’ll figure it out.”

    A Weak Democratic Bench for 2028

    While Newsom and Harris dominate early speculation, Democrats face a thin and fractured 2028 field. Other frequently mentioned names include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—each of whom carries significant liabilities with general-election voters. Many Democrats privately acknowledge that the party lacks a unifying figure with broad national appeal, particularly as voters continue to recoil from progressive economic and cultural policies.

    Republicans, by contrast, are positioning themselves as the party of stability, affordability, and public safety heading into the next election cycle.

    Cost of Living and Accountability

    Watters noted that Democrats are expected to campaign heavily on cost-of-living issues in upcoming elections, a strategy Vance dismissed as deeply hypocritical.

    “That’s a pot-meet-kettle situation,” Vance argued, pointing to Democratic-led policies that fueled inflation, higher energy costs, and housing shortages.

    He credited the Trump administration with reversing those trends.

    “We haven’t even been in office for a year, and you’ve already seen prices start to come down. You’ve seen rents start to come down. You’ve seen groceries leveling off,” Vance said.

    “Is there more work to do? Absolutely. But the people who are going to do that work is the Trump administration, is the president of the United States, who is solving the Democrats’ affordability crisis.”

    “You don’t give power back to the very people who set the house on fire,” he added. “You give more power to the person who put the fire out.”

    Impeachment Politics

    When asked whether Democrats would attempt to impeach President Trump again if they regain control of Congress, Vance said such a move would be predictable—and revealing.

    “I’m sure he’ll get impeached,” Vance said. “Look, they have nothing to actually run on or govern on.”

    “Their entire obsessive focus of that party is they hate Donald Trump,” he continued. “So, if they ever get power, are they going to lower Americans’ taxes? No. Are they going to make your life more affordable? No. Are they going to solve the crime crisis? No.”

    “What they’re going to do is they’re going to spend all their time and all of your money trying to get Donald Trump.”

    Vance urged voters to focus on results rather than partisan theatrics.

    “I think the American people should vote for the people who want to make their life more affordable, who want to make their neighborhoods safer,” he said. “That’s what we’re trying to deliver every single day.”
