Trump’s victory sets up fight for the House on his turf in 2026

Republicans are hopeful that they may defy past midterm trends and increase their majority in two years because the demographic and geographic characteristics of President-elect Donald Trump's victory in 2024 indicate that the next House election will primarily take place in districts that Trump won.

Hudson stated, "That indicates to me that we're going on offense." The House landscape has changed significantly since Trump's first victory in 2016, when around a dozen Democrats won seats that Trump carried and about two dozen Repub...

Trump is vowing to pardon Jan. 6 rioters. Allies and critics alike say he needs a refresher.

It will begin the first hour I arrive at work. And the great majority of them ought not to be incarcerated. An unprecedented degree of agreement is revealed by interviews with law...

Images appear to show Russia dismantling military equipment in Syria

Although the ultimate agreement between Russia and Syria's new administration is still up in the air, the movements show how the country's power dynamics have changed significantly since Assad, as Moscow struggles with the loss of a crucial ally and the possible decline of its influence in the Middle East. Images depicting transport movements at Russia's Hmeimim airfield and Tartus naval facility, both south of Latakia on Syria's Mediterranean coast, were made public by U.S. defense contractor...
