    House Dems' campaign chair says her party's 'on offense' in 2026 battle to win back majority from GOP
    With the early moves heating up in the 2026 battle for the House majority, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's (DCCC) chair argues President Donald Trump and the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are "doing incredible damage to working families and to our country."And with the GOP defending a razor-thin majority in the House in next year's midterm elections, Rep. Suzan DelBene, the DCCC chair, noted, "We only need three more seats.""We have 35 districts in play across the country where we have opportunities," DelBene said in a Fox News Digital interview last week in the nation's capital, pointing to the Republican-held seats the DCCC is targeting."We are on offense. We are fighting for the American people and for the important issues they care about, and Democrats are united in doing that."HOUSE DEMOCRATS PREDICT REPUBLICANS WILL PAY PRICE FOR PASSING TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLWhile the party in power after a presidential election currently the GOP typically faces political headwinds and loses House seats in the following midterms, the 2026 map appears to favor Republicans."The battlefield is really laying out to our advantage. There are 14 Democrats who won seats also carried by Donald Trump. There are only three Republicans in seats that were carried by [former Vice President] Kamala Harris. So, that tells me we're going to be on offense," Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) chair, told Fox News Digital at the start of the 2026 cycle.WHAT THE HOUSE GOP CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE CHAIR TOLD FOX NEWS ABOUT TRUMP'S ROLE IN THE MIDTERMSDelBene countered that "the reason we have opportunities is because people are outraged, because they do want to see someone come into office who is going to fight for their communities and not just be blindly loyal to a president."And pointing to the small bite House Democrats took out of the GOP's majority in the 2024 elections, she added that "those are the types of candidates that won in our districts last cycle. It's a reason we actually gained seats in 2024 and is absolutely the reason why we're going to take back the majority in 2026."But Hudson noted he has a powerful ally as he works to keep control of the House."The president understands that he's got to keep the House majority in the midterm so that he has a four-year runway instead of a two-year runway to get his agenda enacted," Hudson said. "He's been extremely helpful to us, and we appreciate it."And the Democrats are facing a polling dilemma because the party's ratings have been sinking to historic lows in a number of national surveys so far this year.The Democrats' ratings in a Fox News poll stood at 41% favorable and 56% unfavorable in a survey conducted April 18-21.HEAD HERE TO CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLSThat's an all-time low for the Democrats in Fox News polling. And for the first time in a decade, the party's standing was lower than that of the GOP, which stood at 44% favorable and 54% unfavorable.The figures were reversed last summer, when Fox News last asked the party favorability question in one of its surveys.But there is a silver lining for the Democrats.The Fox News poll indicated that if the 2026 midterm elections were held today, 49% of voters would back a generic Democrat in their congressional district, with 42% supporting the generic Republican candidate.The Democrats also have another problem the possibility of primary challenges against longtime and older House lawmakers in safe blue districts.Recently elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg last month pledged to spend millions of dollars through his outside political group to support primary challenges against what he termed "asleep at the wheel" House Democrats who he argued have not been effective in pushing back against Trump.The move by the 25-year-old Hogg, a survivor of the shooting seven years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida, to spend money against fellow Democrats ignited a firestorm within the party.In response, DelBene said, "Democrats across the country are united in taking back the House."Asked by Fox News if the move by Hogg would force the DCCC and allied super PACs to divert money and resources from competitive districts in order to defend incumbents in safe blue districts from primary challenges, DelBene responded, "I think everyone knows how important it is that we take back the House, and folks are focused in helping make sure that we do that in districts all across the country."But the dispute is giving the GOP ammunition.In response to the intra-Democratic Party feud, NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella argued, "No Democrat is safe. A political earthquake is underway, and the old guard is scrambling."

    Meghan Markle pulled off becoming a 'victim' while living in a castle: comedian
    Comedian and podcaster Tim Dillon is known for not holding back when it comes to taking aim at Meghan Markle and what he views as her "victim" mentality.The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex has frequently been the subject of Dillon's rants on his podcast, "The Tim Dillon Show," which the 40-year-old launched in 2019.During an interview with Fox News Digital, Dillon explained why the former "Suits" actress has become one of his favorite comedic targets."I think it's just that she came to prominence at a time when there was a real cultural cachet to being a victim," Dillon said. "And I thought it was a very funny way to be a victim, and she found a way to be a victim while living in a castle.TIM DILLON PUSHES BACK ON CNN REPORTER ASKING IF HE'S PART OF NEW ESTABLISHMENT THAT IMPACTED 2024 RACE"And I always found that very funny," he continued. "I think she's a great comedic actress. I think that there was real currency in being a victim when she rose to prominence, and she became a victim living in a castle married to a prince with the royal wedding, and I thought that was very funny."It's hard to pull it off," Dillon added. "She did it, to her credit. You know, most people that you know were putting out that they were victims during that era were, to their credit, not members of the royal family."Dillon also shared his thoughts on Markle's influence over her husband, Prince Harry."Harry seems like he's kind of been led around and he kind of doesn't know what's going on," he said. "It's probably all an adventure for him, right?Representatives for Markle and Harry declined to comment on Dillon's remarks.WATCH: Meghan Markle pulled off becoming a 'victim' while living in a castle: comedian Tim DillonMarkle and Harry, who married in 2018, announced they were stepping down as working members of the British royal family in January 2020. At the time, the pair also revealed plans to leave the United Kingdom and move to Canada, though they eventually settled in Montecito, California, where they are raising their two young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.The couple initially claimed their decision to step away from royal life stemmed from their desire to become financially independent. The couple were said to be frustrated Buckingham Palace prevented them from developing their "Sussex Royal" brand, the BBC reported. However, during a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the two said intense media scrutiny on Markle and the lack of support from the royal family were major factors in their exit.Markle revealed that the hounding by the press and online abuse led her to have suicidal thoughts. While speaking with Winfrey, the couple also leveled explosive allegations of racism against an unnamed member of the royal family.According to the BBC, when they stepped down as senior royals, Harrys father, King Charles III, gave them "a substantial sum" to help establish a new life. They set up the Archewell foundation and took on several commercial deals, including one with Netflix.In 2022, Markle and Harry further aired their grievances about the treatment they said they had received from the royal family and the media in their Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan." They alleged that members of the royal family, including King Charles, his brother Prince William and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton were jealous of Markle's popularity.The pair claimed they suffered "abuse" when they broke from royal tradition and opted not to take a photo in front of the hospital after the birth of Archie in 2019. Harry also alleged that William and other royals worked to undermine him and Markle in the press and that his older brother flew into a rage when he announced the couple's intentions of stepping down from their roles.In March 2024, Markle launched her lifestyle brand, which was originally named American Riviera Orchard. Due to trademark woes, it was renamed "As Ever" in February. The gourmet products, including teas, baking mixes and jams, sold out in under an hour. The $28 wildflower honey sold out in less than five minutes, Vanity Fair reported. Markle's latest Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," which showcased her love of cooking and entertaining, premiered March 4.The eight-episode series was mercilessly torn apart by royal watchers and less-than-impressed viewers on social media for appearing inauthentic. The show also received poor reviews in the U.S. and U.K. However, the show made it into Netflix's Top 10 within a week of its release, and it will return for a second season this fall.In May, Markle's popularity in the U.K. hit an all-time low, according to a YouGov poll. The poll found that only 20% of U.K. adults had a favorable view of Markle, while 65% of respondents had a negative view of the duchess. YouGov reported that only 27% of U.K. adults had a positive opinion of Harry, while 63% viewed the prince unfavorably.During a recent appearance on the "We Might Be Drunk" podcast, Dillon argued the public's approval ratings most likely mattered little to Markle."Right now, I think part of it is just being famous whether you're liked or hated," he said. "I don't know if it matters if people like or hate you. It's like, obviously, you don't want to be hated. I guess some people don't want to, but I don't think she really cares. She doesn't seem to care."The comedian went on to say that Markle would probably be unbothered if she were to view one of his podcast videos in which he criticized her."If somebody showed her a clip of me probably, and she goes, Who cares? F------ fat idiots," he said.MEGHAN MARKLES AVALANCHE OF MISSTEPS MAKE IT A STRUGGLE TO WIN BACK THE PUBLIC: EXPERTSDillon shared his opinion that Markle was enthusiastic about being a member of the royal family at the beginning of her marriage to Harry."She was so into it," he said. "She was like doing the appearances and everything like that."Dillon said he believed Markle was aware that there was a trade-off involved when it came to enjoying the fame and fortune of being a royal.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"The deal with the British royal family is that the people pay for their lifestyles," he said. "Their taxes allow these people to live like Disney characters."But the payment for that is that they get to know everything about your life," Dillon added. "Meaning, like, it's the ultimate reality show to them. They don't have the Kardashians. They have the royal family."They're into it because that's their entertainment, and then Meghan Markle came in and goes, What do you mean you want a picture of my kid?"And you go, 'It's our kid. We pay for all of this s---, and you people belong to us.' She had to know that. You can't not know that going in."Dillon joked that he had come to appreciate Markle's apparent disregard for whether she was liked or disliked by the public.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I like her now. I think she's won me over," he said. "To me, the best thing in the world is somebody who goes, 'Oh, you hate me? Good. You'll really hate this.'"It gives you nowhere to go," he said. "Yeah, you just have nowhere to go now."WATCH: Comedian Tim Dillon weighs in on the biggest challenge of starting his podcastIn addition to poking fun at Markle, Dillon's podcast features the comedian sharing personal stories and his thoughts on news topics, including cultural issues in America, the entertainment industry and politics.While speaking with Fox News Digital, Dillon recalled that his friend Louis Gomez, who hosts the popular podcast "Legion of Skanks," inspired him to start his own podcast."He told me he thought I would do a good job doing a podcast," Dillon said. "So I tried it."Dillon told Fox News Digital he found podcasting challenging at first, though "The Tim Dillon Show" now draws 1 million viewers per week, according to Deadline."It's difficult, so it took a long time to get good at it," he said. "I think when I first started, I was trying to figure out how to make the things I was interested in interesting to other people and entertaining to other people. And that takes a minute."In April, Dillon's second comedy special, "Im Your Mother," was released on Netflix. The special was Dillon's second for the streaming platform after 2022's "This Is Your Country." The comedian has performed stand-up at both national and international venues and has dabbled in acting with appearances in the 2023 horror film "Thanksgiving" and the 2024 "Joker" sequel "Joker: Folie Deux."During his interview with Fox News Digital, Dillon weighed in on what's next for him."A defamation suit from Meghan Markle, perhaps," he joked. "No, I don't know. More podcasting, more stand-up, more talking, more hot air. What's next for any of us?"

    Kevin Hassett 'very, very confident' courts will back Trump's tariffs amid legal setback
    White House Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says he remains "very, very confident" that courts will support President Donald Trump's tariff agenda.Hassett made the statement during a Sunday morning appearance on ABC's "This Week," telling host George Stephanopoulos that the White House still expects "Plan A" to work out."And so we're very thrilled. We are very confident that the judges would uphold this law. And so I think that that's Plan A, and we're very, very confident that Plan A is all we're ever going to need," Hassett said."But if, for some reason, some judge were to say that it's not a national emergency when more Americans die from fentanyl than have ever died in all American wars combined, that's not an emergency that the president has authority over if that ludicrous statement is made by a judge somewhere, then we'll have other alternatives that we can pursue as well to make sure that we make American trade fair again," he added.TWELVE STATES SUE TRUMP OVER TARIFFS, CLAIMING THEYRE ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO US ECONOMYHassett's appearance comes after a federal court struck down Trump's tariffs in a ruling last week, only for an appeals court to issue a temporary stay protecting the tariffs during litigation.The appeals court ruling paused a decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT), thus allowing Trump to continue to enact the 10% baseline tariff and the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" that he announced April 2 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.The CIT had ruled unanimously to block the tariffs the day before.FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS 5 TRUMP TARIFF EXECUTIVE ORDERSMembers of the three-judge panel who were appointed by Trump, former President Barack Obama and former President Ronald Reagan, ruled unanimously that Trump had overstepped his authority under IEEPA.They noted that, as commander in chief, Trump does not have "unbounded authority" to impose tariffs under the emergency law.For now, the burden of proof shifts to the government, which must convince the court it will suffer "irreparable harm" if the injunction remains in place, a high legal standard the Trump administration must meet.Fox News' Breanne Deppisch contributed to this report

    New Jersey gubernatorial candidates gear up for competitive primary in early test of Trump's 2nd term
    New Jersey voters will choose their Democrat and Republican nominees for governor on June 10, closing out competitive primary contests that could have major implications for the Garden State.It's a crowded field on both sides of the aisle as six Democrats and five Republicans are vying for the chance to replace Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy, who is term-limited this year.Democratic candidates include Newark mayor Ras Baraka, Jersey City mayor Steve Fulop, New Jersey Education Association president Sean Spiller, former New Jersey Senate president Steve Sweeney and U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Mikie Sherill.2021 Republican gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli, radio personality Bill Spadea, New Jersey state Sen. Jon Bramnick, former Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjac and political outsider Justin Barbera are among the Republican candidates.DEM LAWMAKER FUNDRAISES OFF FEDERAL ASSAULT CHARGES AFTER ICE FACILITY CONFRONTATION: 'DOING MY JOB'Democrat and Republican candidates have evoked President Donald Trump's name during their gubernatorial campaigns, as Democrats position themselves as the most anti-Trump and Republicans try to be the most pro-Trump.REP. MIKIE SHERRILL SUGGESTS THIRD TRUMP IMPEACHMENT AS SHE CAMPAIGNS TO BE NEXT NEW JERSEY GOVERNORNew Jersey is one of just two gubernatorial elections in 2025, along with Virginia. Both races will be used by politicians and pundits to gauge how Americans are responding to Trump's second term ahead of the midterm elections next year.Trump outperformed in the Garden State in 2024, according to Fox News Voter Analysis.While Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey in 2024 as expected, Trump gained a nearly five-point improvement from his 2020 vote share and Harris' support dropped by about five points. He gained across New Jersey, with his largest swings in the northeast corner of the state. Hudson and Passaic counties lead the pack.Trump held a large "Make America Great Again" rally on the Jersey Shore during his 2024 presidential campaign as he told the crowd that New Jersey was in play, despite its reputation as a reliable blue state.Republican gubernatorial candidates have been eager to play up their relationships with Trump and cast their campaigns as the most aligned with Trump. But the president endorsed Ciattarelli on Truth Social earlier this month a blow to Ciatarelli's closest competitor, Spadea.Ciattarelli is leading the pack of Republican candidates with 42% of New Jersey registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters, according to a Rutgers-Eagleton/SSRS Garden State Panel poll conducted from April 1 to April 10. Spadea comes in a distant second, with 12%. Four percent of Republicans said they preferred Bramnick, 3% chose Barbera, and no one chose Kranjac. Four percent say they don't prefer any of the candidates.This is the leading Republican's third consecutive gubernatorial bid. Ciattarelli lost by a hair to Murphy in 2021 and has framed his candidacy as a referendum on the Democrat policies that have driven New Jersey for the past eight years.Meanwhile, the Democrat candidates have walked a fine line between building on Murphy's legacy and promising to change the status quo in Trenton. Like Murphy, Democrat candidates have rejected Trump's executive orders, crackdown on illegal immigration and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts.The same poll found Democrats were more split about their leading candidate. 17% of registered Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents said they prefer Sherrill and 12% said they support Fulop, which is within the margin of error. Spiller picked up 10%, Baraka had 9% and Sweeney landed 7% of the vote. Four percent didn't prefer any of the candidates.Democratic candidates threw their support behind Baraka this month when he was arrested for trespassing at an ICE facility in Newark. The Department of Homeland Security called it a "beyond bizarre political stunt," but Baraka has maintained that he did nothing wrong.As the New Jersey primary comes to a head next month, the Garden State has dominated national headlines this year. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) has experienced multiple FAA system outages, prompting concern among fliers and air traffic controllers.And a New Jersey transit strike created more travel mayhem when railways closed last week. Not to mention the large sinkhole that shut down Interstate 80, redirecting even more New Jersey travelers and commuters.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn-person early voting runs Tuesday, June 3, to Sunday, June 8. Vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, and received by the county Board of Elections on or before the sixth day after the close of the polls. In-person voting on election day, Tuesday, June 10, will be from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

    Trump praised by faith leaders for AI leadership as they warn of technology's 'potential peril'
    Evangelical leaders praised President Donald Trump for his leadership on artificial intelligence ("AI") in an open letter published last week, while cautioning him to ensure the technology is developed responsibly.Dubbing Trump the "AI President," the religious leaders wrote that they believe Trump is there by "Divine Providence" to guide the world on the future of AI.The signatories said they are "pro-science" and fully support the advancement of technology which benefits their own ministries around the world."We are also pro-economic prosperity and economic leadership for America and our friends.We do not want to see the AI revolution slowing, but we want to see the AI revolution accelerating responsibly," the letter says.AI IS ALL BRAIN AND NO ETHICSThe faith leaders warned about the technology advancing at an out-of-control pace that could cause "potential peril" for mankind.They cited concerns raised by industry leaders Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Sam Altman, warning that AI would take jobs away in most industries and could eventually cause human suffering.The U.S. should not hesitate in its efforts to "win the AI race," the pastors told Trump, but cautioned that victory mustnt come at any cost."As people of faith, we believe we should rapidly develop powerful AI tools that help cure diseases and solve practical problems, but not autonomous smarter-than-human machines that nobody knows how to control," the letter states.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"The spiritual implications of creating intelligence that may one day surpass human capabilities raises profound theological and ethical questions that must be thoughtfully considered with wisdom. One does not have to be religious to recognize religion as a type of compounding wisdom over the centuries, and virtually all religious traditions warn against a world where work is no longer necessary or where human beings can live their lives without any guardrails," the leaders wrote.They urged Trump to develop an advisory council or delegate authority to an existing agency or council "which would convene leaders who will pay attention especially not only to what AI CAN do but also what it SHOULD do."A group of 18 pastors and faith leaders signed on to the letter, which was spearheaded by prominent Christian leaders, Rev. Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian Leaders, and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Council.The letter comes weeks after Pope Leo XIV compared the advancements in AI to the Industrial Revolution and called on the Catholic Church to confront the challenges AI poses to human dignity, labor and society.In April, Trump signed an executive order to implement AI education in the classroom to create "educational and workforce development opportunities for Americas youth."The AI order,Trump's latest pro-AI measure,established a White House task force for AI and education that will work with federal agencies and the private sector to help draft AI programs for schools.Fox News' Alec Schemmel and Emma Colton contributed to this report.

    Booker slammed for alleged 'Nazi salute' to Cali Dems just months after Musk was dragged for same gesture
    Conservatives are mocking Sen. Cory Booker for delivering an alleged "Nazi salute" to California Democrats, while quipping the New Jersey Democrat won't get the same scrutiny Elon Musk did when he raised his arm to MAGA supporters in January."NEW: Democrat Senator Cory Booker appears to do a Nazi salute in front of a large crowd of Democrats. Im looking forward to the wall to wall coverage from the honest and totally not biased media," Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rugg posted to X, accompanied by footage of the gesture."If Elon Musk is a Nazi for doing this gesture Cory Booker is one too. Sorry, I dont make the rules," X user Angela Belcamino posted.Booker traveled to the Los Angeles area on Saturday, where he addressed the California Democratic Party's convention, calling on supporters to "stand up" to President Donald Trump and repeating a handful of messages he delivered during his marathon 25-hour speech on the Senate floor in March railing against Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency, and the Trump administration for its alleged attacks on "Americans' safety, financial stability, the core foundations of our democracy."ELON MUSK'S MOTHER URGES HIM TO SUE CNN, OTHER NEWS OUTLETS FOR PEDDLING 'NAZI SALUTE' NARRATIVE"Real change does not come from Washington. It comes from communities. It comes from the streets. It comes from the people whos standing up and have shown over and over again against the powerful, against the elected, against the rich that the power of the people is greater than the people in power," Booker said on Saturday to the California Democrats.He capped off his roughly 15-minute speech with a gesture where he placed his right hand on his chest before raising it to the crowd.Musk delivered a similar gesture in January on Trump's inauguration day, which yielded dozens of headlines from mainstream media outlets that Musk delivered a "Nazi-style salute" to Trump supporters. Liberals and critics frequently attacked Trump while he was on the campaign trail by calling him a Hitler-esque fascist, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, who compared Trump to the German dictator during a town hall in October.BOOKER CONCLUDES RECORD 25-HOUR SPEECH AGAINST TRUMP, MUSK, MARKING THE LONGEST EVER ON THE SENATE FLOORConservatives and others pounced on the footage of Booker, asking if media outlets would accuse the New Jersey Democrat of gesturing like a Nazi."Will Corey Booker be plastered all over msm with headlines claiming hes a Nazi?" The Post Millennial's X account posted, accompanied by footage of the gesture.DEM SENATOR SAYS PARTY BRAND IS REALLY PROBLEMATIC AND LED TO THE LOSS OF TRUST OF WORKING-CLASS VOTERS"Heres a list of all the news networks who have not covered Cory Bookers salute: NYTimes CNN Washington Post MSNBC NPR USA Today Reuters Axios ABC News Every single one of them wrote stories on Elon Musks salute do you get it yet?" former government scientist Matt van Swol posted to X.Musk responded to van Swol: "Legacy media is one big psy op."ELON MUSK'S OFFICIAL ROLE AT TRUMP'S DOGE ENDS, BUT HIS POLITICAL IMPACT LINGERS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS"Cory Booker is a straight up NAZI! WOW," conservative X user Gunther Eagleman posted.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital reached out to Booker's office for comment on the matter, but did not immediately receive a reply.Booker did not appear to join fellow liberals in comparing Musk's wave to a Nazi salute in January, although he has previously slammed Trump as "worse than a racist," accusing him in 2019 of using "racist tropes" as "a weapon to divide our nation against itself."

    Sen. Ron Johnson proposes 'line-by-line' cuts to pass Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
    Republican senators have voiced concerns about President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill," saying they plan to vote "no" unless its impact on the national debt can be addressed. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is calling for a return to pre-pandemic spending as a possible solution.The spending bill, which was passed by the House in late May, is expected to add roughly $3 trillion to the national debt, including interest, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.Sen. Rand Paul came out as a "no" on the bill in its current form."Im a no unless we separate out the debt ceiling," Paul said. "If you take the debt ceiling off the bill, Im pretty much a yes on most of the rest."SPEAKER JOHNSON CLASHES WITH RAND PAUL OVER WIMPY SPENDING CUTS IN TRUMP'S BILLSen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., also expressed opposition."If we follow the path of the House bill, we'll have close to, I think, $60 trillion worth of debt in 10 years," Scott said on "Mornings With Maria," Thursday. "What we've got to do is do what every family does: We've got to go through every line of the budget."Sen. Johnson echoed Scotts proposal on "Sunday Morning Futures," saying he would trust Scott to oversee a line-by-line review to find areas to cut spending.ELON MUSK CRITICISM OF TRUMP TAX BILL FRUSTRATES SOME REPUBLICANS: NO PLACE IN CONGRESS"Rick Scott has the experience in Florida. Take a look at how successful he was at reducing spending, balancing his budget, and then giving tax cuts to Floridians," Johnson told host Maria Bartiromo. "He'd be great on a budget review panel, I propose that."But as for specifics, Johnson maintained that there would be no "across-the-board" cuts in order to get back to pre-pandemic spending."It's been [an] unprecedented level of spending. There's no justification for $4.4 to $7 trillion in just six years. Getting back to a reasonable pre-pandemic level, you do it line by line by line," he said.But with an expected deadline in July, Johnson proposed splitting Trumps "big, beautiful bill" into two parts to allow the Senate more time to address the deficit concerns."If we split this thing into two parts: border defense, take what spending cuts that we've already identified, bank those, extend current tax law, take an automatic tax increase off the table, increase the debt ceiling for about a yearby the way, that will be a shocking amount, about $2.5 trillion just to get us into March of 2026.. That ought to tell people, we better fix this."Trump criticized those opposing his bill, saying Republicans are "playing right into the hands of the Democrats" if they vote "no."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBut Johnson maintained the need to return to lower pre-pandemic spending."I want to see [President Trump] succeed. But again, my loyalty is to the American people, to my kids and grandkids. We cannot continue to mortgage their future," Johnson said.

The Red Devils havent finished first in the Premier League since the 2012-13 season and were second twice.He was among those who voiced criticism toward Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho, as both players were involved in incidents last week. Diallo flipped the middle finger toward fans in Malaysia as he said they were making remarks toward his mother while Garnacho had an incident with a fan who was filming him, according to ESPN.For Beckham, it has underscored the lack of success for the club. Manchester United finished this past season 15th in the table.REAL MADRID CONFIRMS XABI ALONSO IS RETURNING AS 'ONE OF THE BEST COACHES IN THE WORLD'"I don't like seeing what's happening at the club," Beckham told CBS Sports as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan for the Champions League trophy. "It's true that it's the pitch that matters, but I see a lot of things that are not acceptable to me as a fan and a lover of Manchester United. You have to represent the badge. I've seen a lot of things where players didn't act in the right way."We understood what it meant to play for Manchester United. We understood what the badge meant. Everywhere we traveled, whether in Europe or Asia, we respected the fans. We respected the fact that they came and paid money to see us, to get an autograph or to take pictures. You have to respect that."Manchester Uniteds 15th-place finish was the worst since the 1989-90 season when the club was 13th in the Premier League. The club still managed to win the FA Cup that year. But it was three more seasons until they returned to the top of the Premier League standings.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
