Republicans are smelling blood in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race next year following an unexpectedly close result in the presidential election. Vice President Harris only carried the Garden State by about 6 points over President-elect Trump, the closest Republicans have come to winning the state’s electoral votes in three decades. This came after another closer-than-expected result in the gubernatorial race three years ago, during which Gov. Phil Murphy (D) won by just more than 3 points.

Ohhhhh, never happen. Dominion has been in Jersey elections for decades now, and let’s never ever forget that Jersey sent Lucky Luciano TO Chicago to teach them corruption. D’s got a chokehold on this state.

Those Trump voters voted for Trump. Not necessarily a republican.Christy didn't help the GOP brand much, either. It is an admission of things when the state prints out a license plate that is urine-stained.

Republicans need to be more concerned with the voter fraud still occurring from the most recent election. THEN, they can dream about Jersey.

Yes! In spite of naysayers, the GOP has been hard at work to combat election fraud and the fight will continue. The GOP saved the McCormick senate win in PA by aggressively pursuing in court the repeated dem efforts to steal it. They didn't win every battle but what a difference from 2020. New Jersey and PA governor's races have a lot of potential!

Could the changing political environment have anything to do with being so close to New York...and the thousands that have moved to New Jersy because of the turmoil in New York.....just wondering out loud.......it seems to me that the governship is a good target for the republicans...perhaps the governor could have camalalot stop by and give one of her "word salad" speeches to help convince the citizens just where he stands....

I suspect that most things that happen in democrat-run states are not decided by the voters.

A clear sign there is still hope for New York comes with the news that Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres, a Democrat, is considering challenging either Mayor Adams next year or Gov. Hochul in 2026. The only pity is that he can’t challenge them both. Run, Ritchie, run! Torres often stands alone or is part of a small group of common-sense Dems in going against the party’s far-left agenda. He refused to join the radical “Squad” in Congress and distinguished himself as an articulate and forceful supporter of Israel. A gay Afro-Puerto Rican raised as a Catholic in Throggs Neck,

Lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump are demanding that New York Attorney General Letitia James drop her civil fraud case against him, his family and his businesses "for the greater good of the country," Fox News Digital has learned. "In furtherance of our conversations with your office, we write to request that you completely dismiss the above-referenced case against President Donald J. Trump, his family, and his businesses, and stipulate to vacate the Judgment and dismiss all claims with prejudice," Trump attorney D. John Sauer wrote in a letter exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.

At a time when our enemies believe we are a nation at war with itself, angry with our neighbors, split by partisan divide, burdened by economic woes, and incapable of empathy, there comes a story this holiday season that reminds friend and foe alike who we are. In a Canton, Michigan, plans for the annual holiday performance of The Nutcracker suddenly went off the boards when all the necessary props for the Plymouth-Canton Ballet Company went missing. Thousands of dollars of pieces required to stage the tradition were stolen – from the Christmas tree to the golden backdrop that serves to highlight the ballet's characters.

If you want to know why big media outlets are struggling so badly, you only need to look at the coverage of this month’s presidential election. Not only were the media perceived by voters as favoring Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris, but they continued to show an erosion in Americans’ overall trust in them as sources of information, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The November national online poll includes 1,436 adults, with a +/-2.6 percentage point margin of error. Each month, I&I/TIPP asks voters the following questions about the national media: “Generally speaking, how much trust do you have in the traditional or established news media,

Straphangers are no strangers to delays caused by trash fires, but the more insidious scourge is the MTA’s cash fires. The agency has wailed that it’s broke and needs the revenue from “congestion pricing” tolls just to keep the lights on. Baloney: While bad New York laws help explain why the MTA spends more on construction than any other major city, the agency itself keeps burning through taxpayer money on utter idiocy. The latest mind-boggling spend: $252.7 million on 3,000 “Help Point” intercoms in the name of boosting public safety. On Tuesday, the MTA’s inspector general’s office released a damning report on the devices, launched in 2018 across all 472 stations.

It appears that this is as close as we’ll get to the real Matt Gaetz story: his acquaintance, the former tax collector Joel Greenberg, was caught abusing his office to make fake IDs and concealed weapons permits, which led to the discovery of numerous crimes committed by Greenberg in office, financed with money he embezzled and revolving around prostitution and, apparently, trafficking minors to public figures. Greenberg told Barr’s DOJ he could implicate Gaetz in exchange for leniency, and the present investigation into Gaetz was opened.

One of the FBI’s most wanted suspected terrorists has been nabbed hiding out in the UK after more than 20 years on the run, the feds said Tuesday. Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, was busted in Wales on Monday in connection with a slew of animal rights-related pipe bomb attacks that unfolded in San Francisco back in 2003, according to authorities. Daniel San Diego’s arrest after more than 20 years as a fugitive for two bombings in the San Francisco area shows that no matter how long it takes, the FBI will find you and hold you accountable,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement hailing his capture.

I’m pleased to announce that their governments have accepted the United States proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah,” Biden, 82, said. Biden said that “this is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” “What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed,” Biden said of the Iran-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon.

As reported earlier, Special Counsel Jack Smith formally moved to dismiss the D.C. election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump, citing Trump's reelection and DOJ policy not to prosecute a sitting president. (Smith also moved to dismiss the Government's appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump.) Now, Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted the Government's request, ordering the dismissal of the D.C. case as requested. As noted in the original article, the dismissal is without prejudice, and in the Memorandum accompanying her order, Chutkan further explains why she believes such is appropriate in this instance, noting,

John Kerry, who served as President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared. Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded. “I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston suggested last week that he could use police officers to prevent federal immigration officers from entering his city to carry out mass deportations when President-elect Donald Trump returns to office. "More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there," Johnston, a Democrat, told the news website Denverite. "It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right? You'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them."

Advisers to Robert F.

They were rebuffed. Kennedy’s inability to communicate with the agency he may soon manage, confirmed by an administration official with knowledge of the episodes granted anonymity to describe internal deliberations, is just one consequence of the president-elect’s continued foot-dragging on signing the standard trio of ethics and transparency agreements with the federal government — something his team pledged to do shortly after the election.

A new memoir by former “World News Now” anchor Kendis Gibson depicts a workplace culture at ABC News fraught with alleged hazing, bullying and racism — which he alleges contributed to a suicide attempt. Gibson’s book, “Five Trips: An Investigative Journey into Mental Health, Psychedelic Healing and Saving a Life,” chronicles his nearly five-year journey experimenting with illegal drugs to combat mental health issues, including depression, panic attacks and suicidal ideation, which he claims was amplified while working at ABC. In 2014, Gibson started his dream job as a correspondent at ABC News — recounting that he received a “heartwarming reception” from the “Good Morning America” bunch:

A ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah took effect at 0200 GMT on Wednesday after U.S. President Joe Biden said both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France. The accord clears the way for an end to a conflict across the Israeli-Lebanese border that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year. Biden spoke at the White House on Tuesday shortly after Israel's security cabinet approved the agreement in a 10-1 vote. He said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati,

We are just three weeks off of one of the most contentious and historic presidential elections in recent history and more people are watching the Hallmark Channel than the supposed journalists and political analysts of CNN or MSNBC. One has to wonder how CNN justifies Anderson Cooper’s $20 million dollar salary when people would rather watch Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.
