The 2028 presidential election seems like a long way away, but in reality, the early moves are already underway by some Democrats with likely national ambitions.And one Republican politician is already selling 2028 merchandise."Trump 2028" hats are available for $50 and T-shirts that read, "Trump 2028 (Re-write the Rules)," sell for $36 on the Trump Organization's website.But the rules are quite clear: The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution restricts presidents to two terms in office.And after months of flirting with running for a third term in the White House, President Donald Trump appears to be ruling out another campaign.WHERE TRUMP STANDS WITH AMERICANS 4 MONTHS INTO HIS 2ND TERMDespite touting strong support in the MAGA world for a 2028 run for re-election, the president in an interview this month on NBC News' "Meet the Press" said, "I'm not looking at that.""Ill be an eight-year president," Trump added. "Ill be a two-term president. I always thought that was very important."But Trump's 2028 flirtations, which he said weren't a joke, and his sweeping moves since the start of his second tour of duty in the White House are keeping the spotlight firmly on him, averting any lame-duck talk and putting a damper on any early moves by those in the Republican Party hoping to succeed the president.DEMOCRATS EYE 2028 JUST MONTHS INTO TRUMP'S 2ND TERMThe race for the next GOP presidential nomination won't get underway until Trump's ready to share the spotlight, and he recently said it's "far too early" to begin holding those discussions.But Trump also added, "Im looking to have four great years and turn it over to somebody, ideally a great Republican, a great Republican to carry it forward."With that in mind, here's a look at the potential 2028 Republican White House contenders.Vice President JD Vance appears to be the heir apparent to the "America First" movement and the Republican Party's powerful MAGA base. It was a point driven home by Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, MAGA rockstar and powerful ally of the vice president."We are getting four more years of Trump and then eight years of JD Vance," Trump Jr. said on the campaign trail in Ohio a few weeks ahead of the November 2024 election.As sitting vice president, Vance enjoys plenty of perks that could boost him to frontrunner status. Among them, a large staff that comes with the job, and Air Force Two, which he has repeatedly used to make stops across the U.S. and the globe since the start of the second Trump administration.And Vance is now finance chair of the Republican National Committee, the first sitting vice president to hold such a position with a national party committee. The posting puts Vance in frequent contact with the GOP's top donors.But while Trump has hinted that Vance could be his successor and called him "a fantastic, brilliant guy" in the "Meet the Press" interview, he has avoided anointing his vice president as the party's next nominee.Vance has taken no steps toward a 2028 presidential run and isn't seriously thinking about it at this time, a source in the vice president's political orbit told Fox News."I really am just not focused on politics," Vance said in early April in a "Fox and Friends" interview. "I'm not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I'll talk to the president. We'll figure out what we want to do."And the 40-year-old vice president added, "The way I think about it is, if we do a good job, the politics take care of themselves."In his "Meet the Press" interview, besides Vance, Trump also named Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a "great" potential GOP leader."Marcos doing an outstanding job," the president said.Rubio, a one-time rival who clashed with Trump during the combustible 2016 Republican presidential nomination battle, became a leading Trump ally in the U.S. Senate during the president's first term in office.And besides serving as secretary of state, the 53-year-old former senator from Florida is also acting national security advisor, acting head of the National Archives and acting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development.While Rubio's expanding portfolio in the second Trump administration is fueling speculation about a potential 2028 presidential bid, he still faces skepticism from parts of MAGA world who question his "America First" credentials.Conservative Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was flying high after a landslide re-election in 2022, but an unsuccessful 2024 presidential primary run and a bruising battle with Trump knocked him down in stature.However, the term-limited 46-year-old governor, who has a year and a half left in office steering Florida, proved in the past few years his fundraising prowess and retains plenty of supporters across the country.DeSantis was also able, to a degree, to repair relations with Trump, helped raise money for the GOP ticket during the general election and earned a prime-time speaking slot at the 2024 Republican convention. And in December 2024, the governor was seen as a possible replacement when now-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's nomination briefly faltered.While DeSantis is certain to still harbor national ambitions, his feud this year with the Republican-dominated Florida legislature and the controversy over a charity tied to Florida first lady Casey DeSantis are seen as potential hurdles.Thanks to his 2021 gubernatorial victory, the first by a Republican in Virginia in a dozen years, Gov. Glenn Youngkin instantly became a GOP rising star.In Virginia, governors are limited to one four-year term, which means Youngkin has seven months left in office.The 58-year-old governor, who hails from the Republican Party's business wing but has been able to thrive in a MAGA-dominated party, likely harbors national ambitions.And Youngkin's trip to Iowa, the state that for a half century has kicked off the GOP's presidential nominating calendar, in July to headline a state party fundraising gala is sparking 2028 speculation.Asked in late 2024 in a Fox News Digital interview about a White House run, Youngkin pointed to his job as governor, saying, "I need to finish strong so Virginia can really continue to soar. And thats what Im going to spend my time on."After that, he said, "Well see whats next."The popular conservative governor is one of the few in the GOP who can claim he faced Trump's wrath and not only survived, but thrived.Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who is term-limited, has two years left in office and enjoys strong favorable ratings in a crucial battleground state.Kemp was heavily recruited by national Republicans to run in 2026 to try and flip a Democrat-controlled Senate seat. And the announcement earlier in May by the 61-year-old governor that he would pass on a 2026 Senate run, fueled buzz that Kemp may instead be mulling a 2028 White House run.Asked in November 2024 about a potential presidential run, Kemp told Fox News Digital, "I try to keep all doors open in politics."Sen. Ted Cruz was the runner-up to Trump in the blockbuster 2016 Republican presidential battle.The controversial conservative firebrand passed on challenging Trump again in 2024 as he ran for what was thought to be another difficult re-election bid after narrowly surviving his 2018 re-election.However, the 54-year-old senator ended up winning a third six-year term in the Senate by nearly nine points.Since the start of Trump's second administration, Cruz has reaffirmed his conservative credentials by voicing opposition to the president's controversial tariffs.Among the others to keep an eye on is Nikki Haley.The former two-term South Carolina governor, who served as U.N. ambassador in Trump's first term, was the first GOP challenger to jump into the race against the former president in the 2024 nomination race.Haley outlasted the rest of the field, becoming the final challenger to Trump before ending her White House bid in March 2024.While the 53-year-old Haley ended up backing Trump in the general election, her earlier clashes with the president during the primaries left their mark. Even though she addressed the GOP faithful at the 2024 convention, her political future in a party dominated by Trump is uncertain.Also, not to be discounted are three politicians who considered but passed on 2024 runs: Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.And besides Haley, we'll put three other 2024 candidates on the large list of possible 2028 contenders. Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is the Republican frontrunner in the 2026 campaign for Ohio governor but likely still has strong national ambitions.Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is a very visible player in Trump's Cabinet.And former Vice President Mike Pence, when asked earlier this month by Fox News Digital if he might consider another White House run, reiterated that he intends to "be a voice" for traditional and conservative values and "well let the future take care of itself."

Harvards president said the lack of conservatives on the Ivy League campus, and fear of expressing "unpopular" views among students and faculty are problems the school "really need[s] to address.""The administration and others have said conservatives are too few on campus and their views are not welcome. In so far as that's true, that's a problem we really need to address," Harvard President Alan Garber told NPR.Garber said the university needed to address a lack of "viewpoint diversity" on its campus, sharing how students dont feel free to speak their minds. He added how faculty members have to "think twice" before teaching certain subjects. Garber said people have come forward claiming a stifling environment on campus.TRUMP RAMPS UP HEAT ON HARVARD: HERE ARE 5 REASONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S OWN INVESTIGATION"Many members of our community have been alarmed that students have become increasingly reluctant to speak openly about controversial or uncomfortable topics, especially if they believe their personal views are unpopular. Thats a problem we need to solve," Garber said in a separate interview with The Harvard Gazette.Garber was appointed as president of Harvard in August 2024 after having served as interim president starting in Janurary 2024. His predecessor, former President Claudine Gay resigned amid mounting antisemitism at the university, a plagiarism scandal and disastrous testimony before Congress. Gay said calls for exterminating the Jews were against Harvards code of conduct "depending on the context" when questioned by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-NY., at the December 2023 hearing.In the wake of increasing antisemitism on college campuses, Garber has faced escalating pressure from the Trump administration to crack down on antisemitism and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies.The White House froze $3.2 billion in grants to Harvard, attempted to disqualify the school from admitting international students, and instructed federal agencies to cancel $100 million of the remaining contracts with the school on Tuesday.TRUMP ACCUSES HARVARD OF BEING 'VERY SLOW' TO TURN OVER FOREIGN STUDENT INFO"As a result of your refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas sympathies, and employs racist diversity, equity and inclusion policies, you have lost this privilege," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a letter to Harvard.Garber pushed back on the administrations attempts to crack down on antisemitism by withholding research grants to the university, claiming that money goes towards scientific research that benefits the country."What is perplexing is that the measures theyve taken to address that dont even hit the same people that they believe are causing the problems," Garber told NPR.The university president went on to say that the most disturbing element of antisemitism on his campus arises from "shunning." He claimed Israeli students have spoken out about incidents where students refused to continue speak with them after learning of their nationality. However, Garber said the university had made progress in combatting antisemitism over the last year."There has been tremendous division on campus over that period of time. There are faculty and students who disagreed with one another about what the university should do. But the main purpose of that report was to identify the problems that we face, particularly with regard to our Jewish and Israeli students," he said.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw made it clear in a radio interview in Arkansas this week that he is no fan of the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining the Pittsburgh Steelers.Rodgers teased the possibility of him joining the Steelers during a podcast interview over the Memorial Day weekend. He said he had some personal life issues he wanted to clear up before making a decision on whether to sign with any team.Now, it is just down to the Steelers, and it appears to be only a matter of time before pen is put to paper.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBradshaw appeared on 103.7 The Buzz and sounded off on Rodgers."Thats a joke," Bradshaw said. "That is just to me is a joke. What are you gonna do? Bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me? ... That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there."Bradshaw said he went up to introduce himself to Rodgers, and "you get into his presence, and you feel like its gonna start snowing."He added that he was a fan of Kenny Pickett when the Steelers selected him in the first round of the 2022 draft. Whether he received a fair shake in Pittsburgh is up for debate, but he only lasted two seasons before he found himself backing up Jalen Hurts on the Philadelphia Eagles last season. He is now on the Cleveland Browns.BROWNS' SHEDEUR SANDERS CALLS OUT 'ANOTHER LIE' ON SOCIAL MEDIA"I liked Kenny Pickett. I liked him at Pitt. I know him, I know what hes like. And when they got him to Pittsburgh, heres what they didnt do," Bradshaw said. "They didnt protect him ... they didnt get him an offensive line. They wanted to run the football, but they didnt have an offensive line that could protect, and they didnt have weapons. He had no wide receivers to speak of."And then they throw a kid in there for two years, and youve got an offense that doesnt fit and doesnt work, and they cant run because their offensive lines not even good enough for a run-blocking team. And therefore they say Pickett was a failure. He wasnt a failure, the Steelers were a failure."Rodgers was asked over the weekend whether he would consider playing for the Chicago Bears but teased signing with one of their opponents instead."No, but I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip," he said on the "YNK Podcast." "I don't know, not sure. Got to check it out. I love Chicago, though. Way more than they love me. It's been a great relationship.

The WNBA found in an investigation that alleged "hateful comments" directed toward Angel Reese during her game against the Indiana Fever were "not substantiated."Reese and her Chicago Sky faced the Fever and Caitlin Clark, and at one point, the two had to be separated after a flagrant foul by Clark against Reese. The association announced the next day that it would launch an investigation into the alleged comments.On Tuesday, the investigation closed.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFollowing the news that the investigation was over, Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., fired at Reese."Angel Reese owes Indiana fans an apology," he posted on X.It is unclear whether Reese herself notified the WNBA to prompt the investigation. Sky head coach Tyler Marsh found out about the reports "when everyone else did." However, Reese has said in the past that Fever and Iowa fans have been racist toward her.Last week, she even reposted a TikTok that said she was "unsafe" while playing against the Fever in Indiana. The video also called out the WNBA for allowing Reese to play in such an environment.When speaking about the investigation last week, Reese said there was "no place" for such language. Clark herself said she "appreciate[d]" the league for conducting an investigation.FEVER COACH SEES SILVER LINING AS CAITLIN CLARK SIDELINED WITH QUAD INJURYThe WNBA announced on Tuesday the investigation had concluded."Based on information gathered to date, including from relevant fans, team and arena staff, as well as audio and video review of the game, we have not substantiated [the report]. The WNBA is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for everyone and will continue to be vigilant in enforcing our fan code of conduct," the association said.Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO Mel Raines released a statement as well."We appreciate the swift and thorough process undertaken by the WNBA to investigate these allegations, which were not substantiated," Raines said.

Gov. Ron DeSantis urged House Republicans to take note of Floridas successful implementation of "DOGE"-type governance and get moving on slashing waste, fraud and abuse identified by the executive branch organization."Elon Musk took massive incoming including attacks on his companies as well as personal smears, to lead the effort on DOGE," DeSantis posted on X."He became public enemy #1 of legacy media around the world. To see Republicans in Congress cast aside any meaningful spending reductions (and, in fact, fully fund things like USAID) is demoralizing and represents a betrayal of the voters who elected them," the Republican said on Tuesday.DeSantis had reposted a comment from former government scientist Matt van Swol, who claimed congressional Republicans have not done enough to go to bat for DOGE.WINNERS, LOSERS AND GRAB-BAGS FROM HOUSE GOP'S NARROW PASSAGE OF BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL"DOGE is literally one of the most popular government initiatives in history. 73% of Americans say they support cutting government waste. Trump brought in the smartest man on earth to do it the Left destroyed Elon for it the GOP wont vote on it I cant believe this," van Swol said in the shared message.In remarks Tuesday, DeSantis expounded upon his concerns, saying that Floridas executive branch has successfully implemented DOGE-type policies in the state, increasing affordability, lowering taxes and ridding Tallahassee of waste and fraud.He said Florida has been a state for 180 years, and it was his own administration who reportedly paid down 41% of its accumulated debt to-date.DeSantis said the average Floridians share of the state debt is $400, while federally, their onus is about $105,000.The governor noted how Musk stuck his neck out for DOGE and saw his car dealerships "firebombed" and how the media "smearing him relentlessly because he basically said, look, we cant keep doing this""And yet, we have a Republican Congress, and to this day, we're in the end of May, past Memorial Day, and not one cent in DOGE cuts have been implemented by the Congress," the one-time congressman said.DEMS CALL BUDGET BILL BUREAUCRATIC WATER TORTURE AS GOP GLAD TO HAVE THE BALL IN OUR COURT"That's one of the reasons why we need a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It's another reason why we need term limits for members of Congress. But I think what you've seen with how, and I kind of said this early on, that DOGE and Elon were on a collision course with the swamp."Libertarian-minded Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., had lodged a similar complaint claiming that rescission votes to act on DOGE's proposed cuts were "cancelled" earlier in May but a top aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., disputed the claim."No votes on rescissions were cancelled this week. The Speaker has repeatedly expressed his commitment to save taxpayer funds via the rescissions process," wrote press secretary Athina Lawson."Under law, this process requires a special message to Congress detailing proposed rescissions before Congress can act."House Republicans could not include any DOGE cuts in the "big beautiful bill" because, in order to pass the Senate, the bill could only deal with statutorily "mandatory" spending concerns.The rules of Senate Reconciliation preclude that move as well.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe two options House Republicans have are to wait for a formal rescission request for a cut or cuts from Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought a Trump appointee and take that up within 45 days, or try to pass separate legislation themselves through the appropriations process.The issue with the latter is that legislation independent of a request originating from the executive branch would require 60 votes while a rescission request only requires a simple majority.Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the Senate. Two independents Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King, Jr. of Maine caucus with Democrats.However, Republicans have had luck putting Democrats in a bind via the appropriations process, as the last passage of the typically massive bills led to members of that party turning on its leader Sen. Charles Schumer of New York for ultimately voting to fund the government earlier this year.Fox News Digital reached out to DeSantis and Johnson for comment.

American tennis star Danielle Collins on Tuesday defended her outburst toward a cameraman during a tournament last week.Collins incident occurred at the Internationaux de Strasbourg against Emma Raducanu. During a changeover, she told the cameraman to keep their distance as she refilled her water bottle. She said the cameraman was acting "wildly inappropriate."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMShe spoke at length about it after the victory over Jodie Anna Burrage in the first round of the French Open."I think what happened in Strasbourg is just me asking for personal space at my work place. I dont know why that is even a topic of discussion," she said, via The Tennis Letter. "It should be something that we can get to have during, like, our work. The fact that Ive had to ask so many different times in my career and during different matches to just have an adequate level of personal space is kind of strange."I think often times it seems like my response is treated like the offense itself. Im learning that as a female, asking for personal space seems to be an issue for a lot of people. I think its really pathetic honestly, that its even a topic of discussion. Its something that over time ... theres been no one thats been able to make the adjustment."Collins said that in the video that went viral across social media there was "so much people dont see." She said fans "dont see the person go and stand right on top of Emma to get a good shot of me in about a 2-3 foot space."FRENCH OPEN CONTENDER COCO GAUFF POWERS THROUGH FIRST-ROUND VICTORY DESPITE RACKET MISTAKEShe added that she needed to be able to focus on the match itself without having a camera in her face."Im doing a performance job. Im trying to focus on my work. Im trying to maintain my focus and concentration," Collins said. "My job requires channeling physical, emotional, and then logical things going on. Its my job to kind of put that all together. The last thing I should be focusing on is someone thats right on top of my opponent and right in my face. Its just really unnecessary."Collins wondered where the line was for those working behind the camera."I dont necessarily think it was creepy," she said. "But I think we should all be able to say, like, Hey. I would like some physical space. You go to different tournaments, and you ask nicely most of the time. You ask politely. That doesnt get reported on. But the time I get upset about at it, that response is treated as the offense itself. And thats what I find most interesting about it."The Florida native has never made it past the quarterfinals of the French Open.She is set to take on Serbias Olga Danilovic in the second round.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the State of North Carolina and the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Tuesday for allegedly failing to maintain an accurate voter list.The Trump administration claims the Tar Heel State is in violation of the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) after board officials provided a statewide voter registration form that did not make clear whether an applicant must provide a drivers license number, or if the applicant does not have a drivers license, the last four digits of the applicants social security number. If an applicant has neither, the law says the state must assign a special identifying number.The lawsuit says, "a significant number of North Carolina voters who did not provide a drivers license number or the last four digits of a social security number using that voter registration form were nonetheless registered by their election officials, in violation of HAVA" and the defendants "only took limited actions to prevent further violations."FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS NC TO CERTIFY SUPREME COURT ELECTION RESULTS WITH DEMOCRAT LEADING"Upon information and belief there currently are a significant number of voters that do not have a drivers license number, last four digits of a social security number, or any other identifying number, as required by Section 303 of HAVA, listed in North Carolinas state voter registration file," according to the filing in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. "Those violations will continue absent relief from this Court.""Accurate voter registration rolls are critical to ensure that elections in North Carolina are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division said in a statement. "The Department of Justice will not hesitate to file suit against jurisdictions that maintain inaccurate voter registration rolls in violation of federal voting laws."A previous edition of the state elections board, in which Democrats held a majority, acknowledged the problem in late 2023 after a voter complained. The board updated the voter registration form but declined to contact people who had registered to vote since 2004 in time for the 2024 elections so they could fill in the missing numbers.According to the lawsuit, the board indicated that such information would be accumulated on an ad hoc basis as voters appeared at polling places. It is unclear exactly how many voters' records still lack identifying numbers.Lawyers from the DOJ Civil Rights Division want a judge to give the state 30 days to develop a plan to contact voters with records that do not comply with federal law, obtain an identifying number for each and add that to the electronic list.The state and national GOP last year sued over the lack of identifying numbers, which they estimated could have affected 225,000 registrants. However, federal judges declined to make changes so close to the general election.The lawsuit also referred to President Donald Trump's executive order on elections in March to "guard against illegal voting, unlawful discrimination, and other forms of fraud, error, or suspicion."FEDERAL JUDGE KICKS BATTLE OVER NC SUPREME COURT ELECTION BACK TO STATE COURTAfter Election Day, formal protests were filed by Jefferson Griffin, a Republican candidate for a seat on the state Supreme Court, who challenged about 65,500 ballots. He contended that about 60,000 were cast by registrants whose records failed to contain one of the two identifying numbers. The state election board said earlier this year at least roughly half of those voters actually did provide an identifying number.Griffin also challenged another 5,500 ballots belonging to overseas military personnel and their family members who were not required to attach a copy of their photo IDs, as well those in a category of "Never Residents," or U.S. citizens with family ties to North Carolina who have never lived in the United States.A state appeals court criticized the board's handling of the registration records but ultimately ruled the challenged ballots had to remain in the final election tally.Six months passed during what amounted to be the nations last contested 2024 election.Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs was ultimately certified as the winner over Griffin by 734 votes out of over 5.5 million ballots cast. Griffin conceded earlier this month but said he did not fully agree with the courts analysis.This month, the state election boards composition changed to reflect a 2024 law approved by the GOP-dominated General Assembly that shifted the boards appointment powers from the now-Democratic governor to Republican State Auditor Dave Boliek. A previous 3-2 Democratic majority is now a 3-2 Republican majority.The new iteration of the board sounds open to embracing the Justice Departments wishes.Executive Director Sam Hayes said late Tuesday the lawsuit was being reviewed, "but the failure to collect the information required by HAVA has been well documented.""Rest assured that I am committed to bringing North Carolina into compliance with federal law," he said, according to The Associated Press.Local elections start in September.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
