Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-California) criticized the eight House Republicans who voted against him and facilitated his removal as the House speaker, saying that they supported Democrats and ended up causing chaos. He termed their alliance with Democrats as “one of the biggest mistakes” they made, he told Fox News. Despite his ouster, McCarthy expressed his intention to support Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who is the GOP’s nominee, in taking over his previous role as speaker. “The real challenge here is eight Republicans did something. No one would have thought that they would work with every single ...

An upcoming documentary about abuse at Ohio State — directed by and starring George Clooney for HBO — may draw more attention to the scandal and prompt more questions about Jordan’s involvement. Though Jordan has repeate...

Rep. Val Demings (D-Florida) said in an interview Thursday that she is “seriously considering” running against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) or Gov.

Demings was protesting a Republican-led amendment in a hate crime prevention bill that would prevent defunding of police departments. Demings noted that the amendment was “completely irrelevant.” “I served as a law enforcement officer for 27 years,” Demings, the former chief of Orlando police, told the House committee. “It is a tough job, and good police officers deserve your support. You know, it’s interesting to see my colleagues on the other side ...

Vazquez is one of six former OSU wrestlers who told CNN that they were present when Jordan heard or responded to sexual misconduct complaints about team doctor Richard Strauss. Former captain of the wrestling team, Adam DiSabato, told state lawmakers in a public hearing last week that Jordan ple...
