New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is once again calling for cheaper tickets to the World Cup.Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, appeared on the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast last week, where he discussed the ticket prices for World Cup games in New York City, one of the host cities for the finals."What we're seeing is that FIFA's approach to the ticket process of the World Cup is both without precedent in their own administration of previous World Cups and is also an approach that will price out so many New Yorkers from actually being able to be in the stands," he said.CRITICISM OVER SOCIALIST NYC CANDIDATE MAMDANI'S RENT-STABILIZED APARTMENT MOUNTS AFTER ETHICS COMPLAINTMamdani, a self-professed fan of the Arsenal Football Club in England, noted that a ticket to the final game when the global soccer tournament was last in the United States in 1994 cost less than $200 in todays dollars."We are now, at face value, seeing tickets for more than $6,000," he said. "It's absurd."Mamdani recently called for 15% of tickets to be set aside at discounted prices for residents and asked FIFA, soccer's governing body, to reverse a plan to set ticket prices based on demand.ZOHRAN MAMDANI SPENDING BIG ON PRIVATE SECURITY DESPITE EARLIER CALLS TO DEFUND POLICEFox News Digital reached out to FIFA for comment but did not immediately hear back.The World Cup will be played across 16 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Eight matches, including the final, will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York.FIFAs plan to adopt a dynamic pricing model has sparked backlash among some fans, The Associated Press previously reported.Tickets will start at $60 for group-stage matches and increase to $6,730 for the final, officials said earlier this month. However, pricing could fluctuate under the demand-based pricing model.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Russell Wilson era may be over for the New York Giants, but his impact on the team's faithful culture may linger.Wilson is being benched by the Giants in favor of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart this week, per multiple reports, seemingly ending Wilson's run as the team's starter after just three games.Wilson entered his first season with New York with the mindset to "help the New York Giants win daily," he previously told Fox News Digital. Along the way, he also brought his faith into the team's locker room.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWilson told Fox News Digital ahead of the season in July that he and his Giants teammates were having regular Bible studies."We have a lot of guys who are super strong on their faith," Wilson said. "We do have our Bible studies throughout the week and the things we do as a collective group. I know every team does different things, and we have a lot of that too. And we're just grateful we do what we get to do. I'm grateful to be a New York Giant, and I thank God every day for that."START STREAMING WITH A 7-DAY FREE TRIAL AT FOXONE.COM OR DOWNLOAD THE FOX ONE APP ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICEWilson has been one of the more vocally Christian quarterbacks in the NFL throughout his career.His successor, Dart, is also a devout Christian. Dart is only the third Mormon quarterback in NFL history and a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Wilson gave his thoughts on Dart's ability compared to Wilson's as a rookie, when he surpassed former veteran quarterback Matt Flynn of the Seattle Seahawks to win the starting job."I think Jaxson is a really good worker. He's a really good teammate. He's a guy who's had a really good college career," Wilson said in July.Wilson signed a one-year, $21 million contract with the team in the offseason, while Dart was selected by the team with the 25th overall pick in the NFL Draft after it traded up to the first round to get the quarterback.When Wilson overtook Flynn as Seattle's starting quarterback in 2012, Flynn had just signed a three-year, $26 million contract. Wilson, a rookie, had been selected in the third round of that year's draft but ended up beating out the veteran for the starting job prior to Week 1. Wilson led the Seahawks to an 11-5 record and a playoff win in his first year, before leading the team to a Super Bowl victory the following season in 2013.Now, Wilson is on the other end of that dynamic, watching the younger Dart ascend as the Giants' starter this week against the Los Angeles Chargers.And both will likely lean on their faith to make it through this transition.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Heart attacks dont always look the same and a new study from Mayo Clinic highlights the key differences between how they affect men and women.The most common cause of heart attacks overall is clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), but in people under 65 particularly women there are often other factors at play.Atherosclerosis is responsible for 75% of mens heart attacks, but only 47% of womens cardiac events, data shows.WANT BETTER HEART HEALTH? START BY TACKLING YOUR WEAKEST LINK, CARDIAC SURGEON SAYSIn the study, which was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers analyzed more than 15 years of data on 1,474 heart attacks.They found that more than half of heart attacks in women under age 65 were caused by "nontraditional factors."Those included embolisms and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), among other factors.The researchers also found that the underlying causes of womens heart attacks were often overlooked or misdiagnosed.EATING ONE TYPE OF NUT DAILY COULD LOWER 'BAD' CHOLESTEROL, IMPROVE HEART HEALTH, STUDY FINDSSCAD a rare but serious condition that occurs when a tear develops within the coronary artery is nearly six times more common in women compared to men.It is often misdiagnosed as a typical heart attack caused by plaque buildup, which could result in stents being placed unnecessarily, the researchers noted.People who experienced heart attacks caused by stressors like anemia or infection had higher five-year mortality rates, the study found."Recognizing and correctly diagnosing these nontraditional heart attacks allows for more appropriate care and better long-term outcomes," the release stated.Less than 3% of heart attacks were "truly unexplained.""This research shines a spotlight on heart attack causes that have historically been under-recognized, particularly in women," said Claire Raphael, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., an interventional cardiologist at Mayo Clinic and first author of the study, in a press release."When the root cause of a heart attack is misunderstood, it can lead to treatments that are less effective or even harmful."TWO KEY HEART HEALTH METRICS COULD DETERMINE HOW LONG YOU'LL LIVESenior author Rajiv Gulati, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Division of Interventional Cardiology and Ischemic Heart Disease at Mayo Clinic, said the research highlights the need to rethink how heart attacks are approached, particularly in younger women."Clinicians must sharpen their awareness of conditions like SCAD, embolism and stress-related triggers, and patients should advocate for answers when something doesn't feel right," he said in the release."Understanding why a heart attack happened is just as important as treating it," Raphael added. "It can mean the difference between recovery and recurrence."Dr. Bradley Serwer, a Maryland-based cardiologist and chief medical officer at VitalSolution, an Ingenovis Health company that offers cardiovascular and anesthesiology services to hospitals nationwide, was not involved in the study but commented on the findings."It is crucial to recognize that not all heart attacks are identical or caused by the same events," he said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Being young, healthy and female does not guarantee immunity from heart attack."The cardiologist emphasized the importance of listening to your body and realizing that no one is immune from a heart attack."It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise, avoid smoking and know the status of any chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol," he advised."The most effective advocate is a well-informed patient," Serwer added. "It is crucial to be aware of your medical history, medications and specific cardiac risk factors."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERIn the event of new onset chest pain, shortness of breath or severe exertional fatigue, the doctor said its essential to seek immediate medical attention."Do not ignore the symptoms because you may be considered low risk for a heart attack," he said.The study does have some limitations, Serwer noted, including a lack of ethnic diversity."The research also did not account for severity of the underlying medical conditions," he said.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthOverall, this study serves as a reminder that there are many different causes of heart attacks, Serwer said."We need to keep an open mind when evaluating a younger patient with potential cardiac symptoms. There is not a one-size-fits-all approach to treating heart attacks in the young."

FIRST ON FOX: A conservative climate policy group is urging House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to subpoena records from the Environmental Law Institute's Climate Judiciary Project as part of an ongoing probe into the influence of climate advocacy groups in climate policy litigation.Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, a conservative pro-U.S. energy production policy group, wrote a letter to Jordan last week pointing to evidence from a Sept. 12 Multnomah County v. ExxonMobil et al. court filing that he says suggests "covert coordination and judicial manipulation.""This new evidence raises serious red flags about the credibility of both the so-called science being used in climate lawsuits and the judicial training programs behind the bench," Isaac told Fox News Digital.According to Isaac's letter to Jordan, the court filing submitted by Chevron Corporation earlier this month reveals that "one of the plaintiffs lead attorneys, Roger Worthington, had undisclosed involvement in at least two so-called scientific studies that the county is presenting as independent, peer-reviewed evidence."TRUMP ADMIN SCORES LEGAL WIN IN $16B CLIMATE FIGHT AS FEDERAL APPEALS COURT LIFTS BLOCK ON GRANT TERMINATIONSOne of those studies "acknowledged funding from the Climate Judiciary Project in a draft version, but that disclosure was inexplicably removed from the final publication," Isaac said in the letter.Earlier drafts of the study, labeled "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE," were found on Worthingtons law firm website, the letter revealed.TOP ENERGY GROUP CALLS FOR PROBE INTO SECRETIVE 'NATIONAL LAWFARE CAMPAIGN' TO INFLUENCE JUDGES ON CLIMATEAccording to the American Energy Institute, the study seeks to "attribute global economic losses from climate change to specific oil companies." The website also included a "pre-publication draft of a CJP judicial training module" with internal editorial comments, according to the letter.Isaac told Jordan this mark-up raises "serious questions about how and why a plaintiffs attorney had early access to, and possibly editorial influence over, materials being presented to state and federal judges as neutral science."Another module was designed to "educate" participant judges on how to apply "attribution science" in the courtroom, according to Isaac.Attribution science seeks to measure how much human-caused climate change is responsible for certain extreme weather events, per Science News Explores' definition."The Environmental Law Institute has claimed neutrality, yet documents suggest coordination with plaintiffs counsel who stand to profit from the outcomes," Isaac told Fox News Digital. "If the same lawyers suing energy companies are shaping the studies and educating the judges, that is not justice; it is manipulation. Congress is right to dig deeper, and the American Energy Institute is proud to support that effort."Isaac is requesting that Jordan formally request "communications, draft documents, funding agreements, and internal editorial notes related to the scientific studies and CJP curriculum."While commending Jordan's leadership, Isaac said, "Judges and the public deserve to know whether the courtroom is being quietly shaped by coordinated climate advocacy posing as neutral expertise."Isaac said the Environmental Law Institute and Worthington should answer several questions about their involvement in the studies, including the "judicial education module on attribution science.""Does ELI regularly seek input from plaintiffs attorneys on its judicial education modules?" Isaac questioned."ELI did not fund the Naturestudy, and the Climate Judiciary Project has not coordinated with Mr. Worthington," Environmental Law Institute spokesman Nick Collins told Fox News Digital in a statement."CJP doesnot participate in or provide support for litigation," Collins added. "Rather,CJP provides evidence-based continuing education to judges about climate science and how it arises in the law. Our curriculum is fact-based and science-first, grounded in consensus reports and developed with a robust peerreviewprocess that meets the highest scholarly standards."When 23 Republican state attorneys general sent a letter last month to Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin calling on him to cancel funding to the Environmental Law Institute, Collins told Fox News Digital that the Climate Judiciary Project's projects are far from "radical.""The programs in which the Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) participates are no different than other judicial education programs, providing evidence-based training on legal and scientific topics that judges voluntarily choose to attend," Collins said.Fox News Digital has reached out to Jordan and Worthington for comment on the letter but did not immediately hear back.Fox News Digital's Emma Colton contributed to this story.

Baltic foreign ministers tore into the United Nations in interviews with Fox News Digital this week, blasting the Security Council as powerless and "out of capabilities to react" because Russia the nation waging Europes bloodiest war in decades still holds a permanent seat and veto power.Estonias top diplomat, Margus Tsahkna, said Moscow is using its position at the U.N. to shield itself from accountability while escalating its aggression against NATO allies."The permanent member of the Security Council is actually waging the most aggressive aggression in history after the Second World War in Europe," he told Fox News, adding that reform is long overdue.Lithuanias foreign minister,Kstutis Budrys, echoed the criticism, describing the U.N.s 80th anniversary as "without the birthday cake, without a lot of love" because the bodys credibility is crumbling. "If countries come here and dont believe it can deliver what function is it and what are we doing here?" he said.WALTZ PROMISES US WILL DEFEND 'EVERY INCH' OF NATO TERRITORY AFTER RUSSIAN JETS FLEW INTO ESTONIAThe conversations came after an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the recent incursions into NATO territory. Last week three Russian MiG jets "equipped with missiles," according to Budrys, flew into Estonian territory for 12 minutes, coming within 15 miles of the parliament building.The week before, 19 Russian drones had traipsed into Polish airspace.The Security Council, which also includes the U.S., U.K., France and China as permanent members and 10 rotating non-permanent members, did not vote on a resolution to condemn the incursions because Russia would automatically veto such a move.For that reason, the council has been unable to pass binding resolutions on Ukraine since 2022.Tsahkna said he was not hopeful the Security Council would ever change."I'm an optimist, but I cannot see this opportunity right now to change it."The Security Council has broad powers to investigate disputes, hold discussions, issue statements or recommendations, impose sanctions, and even authorize military action when necessary.However, these tools only function when the five permanent members are in agreement, or at least when none of them uses their veto. This structure creates a major limitation when one of those permanent members is itself the party accused of aggression.While the Security Council remains paralyzed, nations have turned to the U.N. General Assembly, where resolutions carry political weight but are not legally binding.Russia called reports of the incursions "groundless accusations."ISRAEL CALLS UN PUSH FOR PALESTINE STATEHOOD A CHARADE, WARNS OF CONSEQUENCES FOR RECOGNITION MOVES"There is no proof except the Russophobic hysteria coming from Tallinn," said Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the U.N., referring to Estonias capital in the Security Council meeting.Both Budrys and Tsahkna warned that Russias drone and jet incursions into NATO territory are part of a deliberate campaign to test the alliances unity and argued that without tough action, Putin will keep pushing the limits. Lithuania called for turning Baltic air policing into true air defense with stronger rules of engagement, while Estonia pressed for additional NATO troops and capabilities.The ministers argued that if Russia can change borders by force without consequence in Europe, it will set a precedent elsewhere."This is not about the frontline nations," Budrys said. "Its about the whole world."They said that while the solidarity demonstrated among allies at the U.N. is great, Russia fears action, not words."For Russia they have to see. They dont believe in our plans and our protocols. They believe in what they see," said Budrys.

President Donald Trump scolded the European nations during his United Nations address on Tuesday morning, specifically over immigration policies in several countries.Europe has dealt with a major influx of people coming from Africa and the Middle East in recent years, with critics raising concerns about everything from resources to cultural assimilation. "The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them," Trump said.TRUMP SLAMS UN FOR CREATING NEW PROBLEMS, QUESTIONS ITS ROLE IN FIERY UNGA SPEECH"You're destroying your countries. They're being destroyed. Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe. Nobody is doing anything to change it to get them out. It's not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct, they're doing just absolutely nothing about it," he added.Trump compared the situation to the United States own border crisis under the Biden administration, which led to millions of people entering the country illegally.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEThe high number of people crossing the southern border led to a strain on resources in border communities and major cities across the U.S. As part of Trumps agenda, mass deportations continue.TRUMP TO GIVE 'TOUGH TALK' ON GLOBALISM 'FAILURES,' WHILE HIGHLIGHTING 'RETURN OF AMERICAN STRENGTH' AT UNGA"In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty, cause unmitigated crime and deplete our social safety net. We have reasserted that America belongs to the American people, and I encourage all countries to take their own stand in defense of their citizens as well," the president said.In a May letter, several European countries slammed the European Court of Human Rights for restricting the ability to deport migrants who have committed crimes, saying that it hurts individual countries' ability to make their own choices on immigration policy."Many have come here via legal pathways. They have learned our languages, believe in democracy, contribute to our societies and have decided to integrate themselves into our culture," the letter signed by Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy and Poland stated.TRUMP IS TARGETING NONVIOLENT AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.AMERICANS ARE STARTING TO NOTICEThe letter noted that some migrants have opted "not to integrate" and live in "parallel societies" with values aside from "equality, democracy and freedom.""In particular, some have not contributed positively to the societies welcoming them and have chosen to commit crimes," the letter continued.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized recent remarks by President Donald Trump as "unhinged" during a press conference on Tuesday, as the federal government lurches toward a potential shutdown at the end of this month.Jeffries held a media availability in his Brooklyn, New York, district after Trump canceled a planned meeting with congressional Democratic leaders on the issue of government funding.Trump accused Democrats of making "unserious and ridiculous demands" in their push for a compromise deal to avert a shutdown."The statement that Donald Trump issued today was unhinged, and it related to issues that have nothing to do with the spending bill that is before the Congress, and the need to try to avoid a government shutdown," Jeffries said in response.HOUSE PASSES TRUMP-BACKED PLAN TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNHe said at an earlier point, "Leader Schumer and I are ready to meet with anyone, anytime, at any place, to discuss the issues that matter to the American people and avoid a painful, Republican-caused government shutdown.""Democrats do not support the partisan Republican spending bill because it continues to gut the healthcare of the American people," he added.Schumer held his own press conference later in the afternoon, where he charged, "Today seems to be tantrum day for Donald Trump.""Mr. President, do your job," he said. "Stop ranting, stop these long diatribes that mean nothing to anyone. Get people in a room and let's hammer out a deal."The House passed a short-term extension of fiscal year (FY) 2025's government funding levels intended to keep federal agencies running through Nov. 21, in order to give Senate and House appropriators more time to reach a deal on FY 2026.58 HOUSE DEMS VOTE AGAINST RESOLUTION HONORING 'LIFE AND LEGACY' OF CHARLIE KIRKIf not passed by the Senate by the end of Sept. 30, Congress risks plunging the government into a partial shutdown.Democrats, infuriated by being sidelined in discussions on the bill, have been pushing for the inclusion of enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that are set to expire at the end of 2025 without congressional action.During his press conference, Jeffries also appeared to reference Republicans' "big, beautiful bill," conservative legislation that imposed new restrictions and work requirements on Medicaid coverage for certain able-bodied Americans."Our top priority is to make sure that we cancel the cuts, lower the costs and save healthcare for the American people. That's eight words not difficult for Donald Trump to process. Cancel the cuts, lower the cost, save healthcare. Eight words," Jeffries said."And we've been very clear that if Republicans want to go it alone, then go it alone and continue to do damage to the American people. But as House Democrats, partnered in lockstep with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer] and Senate Democrats, we are not going to participate in the Republican effort to continue to gut the healthcare of the American people. That's immoral, and we want no part of it."Jeffries and Schumer were set to meet with Trump on Thursday to discuss a path forward to avert a partial government shutdown.But Trump nixed the meeting in a lengthy post on his social media platform Truth Social, where he blasted the duo for pushing "radical Left policies that nobody voted for.""I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive," Trump said."They must do their job! Otherwise, it will just be another long and brutal slog through their radicalized quicksand. To the Leaders of the Democrat Party, the ball is in your court. I look forward to meeting with you when you become realistic about the things that our Country stands for. DO THE RIGHT THING!" the president continued.The Senate already voted against moving forward with the House GOP stopgap bill on Friday.With 60 votes needed to proceed on the measure, at least some Democratic support will be needed to avert a shutdown.Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for a response to Jeffries' comments.

French President Emmanuel Macrons push for Palestinian statehood at the United Nations clashed sharply with Donald Trumps message but the two leaders rivalry also played out in the streets of New York in an unexpected way.At the UN General Assembly, Macron formally announced Frances recognition of a Palestinian state, insisting the move was "essential to peace." Trump, speaking today, blasted the recognition as a "reward" for Hamass "horrible atrocities, including October 7," that would only prolong conflict.MACRON STAKES ANTI-TRUMP GLOBAL ROLE WITH GAZA INITIATIVE AT UN SUMMITBut away from the UN stage, the two presidents collided in an unusual moment when Macron was stopped at a crosswalk by New York police as Trumps motorcade rolled through Manhattan. "Sorry President, everything is frozen, the motorcade moving now," one officer told him. Macron, visibly frustrated, replied, "If you dont see it, let me cross."With the road blocked, Macron picked up his phone and calledPresident Trump directly. According to a video circulating online, the French president said: "Guess what, Im waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you." Only after the call was the road eventually cleared.MACRON TO APPOINT FOURTH PRIME MINISTER IN A YEAR AS DEBT BATTLE TOPPLES CENTRIST LEADERMacron then walked through the city for nearly half an hour, trailed by passersby who stopped him for selfies.

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, having recently weathered the temporary suspension of his show, posted a photo of himself Tuesday with the late Norman Lear, who was once singled out by former President Richard Nixon as one of his "enemies."After days of being at the center of a national political firestorm about free speech and the differences between "cancel culture" and "consequence culture," Kimmel posted a photo of himself with Lear on Instagram with the words, "Missing this guy today." It marked his first public comments since he was taken off the air last week and comes just hours before his return Tuesday night."Jimmy Kimmel Live!" had been pulled off the air after Kimmel's remarks about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk sparked outrage, a veiled threat from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and two major ABC affiliate owners yanking his program across the country. Kimmel had falsely suggested the alleged killer was a MAGA supporter, although he's reportedly said he was taken out of context.The Walt Disney Company announced Monday that after "thoughtful conversations" with Kimmel, it decided to return the show to the airwaves.

Squad member and Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is reportedly eyeing a potential 2028 presidential run as the Democratic Party finds its footing following President Donald Trump's decisive win at the ballot box in 2024, according to a recent report.Ocasio-Cortez's team is preparing her to run for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is up for re-election and Democrats can next run to reclaim the White House, Axios reported Friday, citing sources familiar.The New York congresswoman has not officially made a decision on a Senate or presidential run, but has hired former senior advisers from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' orbit as she navigates her political future, the outlet reported. She notably has joined Sanders on a national tour, called "Fighting Oligarchy," in recent months that aims at combating Trump administration policies.Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment on the report she's teeing up a 2028 run for higher office but did not receive a reply.AOC USES HOUSE FLOOR SPEECH TO SMEAR CHARLIE KIRK: 'HIS RHETORIC AND BELIEFS WERE IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED'Fox News Digital spoke to Democratic National Committee Vice Chair Shasti Conrad Thursday, ahead of Axios' report on Ocasio-Cortez's alleged 2028 aspirations, to discuss former Vice President Kamala Harris' new book as well as top Democrats eyeing serving in higher offices.Conrad, who is also the chair of Washington State's Democratic Party, told Fox News Digital that the party needs "hundreds of leaders," listing off names such as New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, to Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.BERNIE SANDERS ADDRESSES WHETHER HELL RUN IN 2028"We need Mamdani to Pete to Kamala to (Minnesota Gov. Tim) Walz to (California Gov.) Gavin Newsom ... to (Kentucky Gov.) Andy Beshear to, you know, AOC," she said. "We need messengers across this country talking about what Democrats stand for, what we will do when we get back in power, how we will make a difference in people's lives."She added that these leaders must also bring attention to "what Trump is doing, calling that out every single day, holding the Republicans' feet to the fire," she added.2028 LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE POISED TO CAPITALIZEConrad argued that Harris' book allows the former vice president to "speak her truth" on the 2024 campaign cycle, which included Harris reporting that she did not feel supported by the Biden team.The book argued the Biden team rarely defended her from negative press, and called Biden's decision to run for reelection at the age of 81 as an example of "recklessness."DOUG SCHOEN: WHY AOC COULD TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2028 AND KAMALA HARRIS WON'T"Its Joe and Jills decision. We all said that, like a mantra, as if wed all been hypnotized," Harris wrote in the book, according to the excerpts. "Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasnt a choice that should have been left to an individuals ego, an individuals ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision."The excerpts set off condemnation from former White House staffers who told Axios that Harris was allegedly trying to scapegoat Biden instead of owning up that she "was simply not good at the job."Democrats are now jockeying to lead the party in the Trump era. Conrad said the book tees up Harris potentially running for president again in 2028, or a potential Buttigieg run, while also celebrating that other high-profile names could step up."This is the thing that happens when you don't have the White House, the presidency, is that there isn't one leader of the Democrats," she said. "We need, you know, hundreds of leaders."The report of Ocasio-Cortez's potential comes as the Democratic Party maps out its future following Trump's November 2024 election win.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHarris is launching a book tour after her memoir reflecting on her 107-day presidential campaign was released Tuesday.
