Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have yet to be sworn in as president and vice president respectively after their 2024 victory and Fox News is already looking towards the 2028 presidential election when Trump will be ineligible to run.According to Fox's Paul Steinhauser, the Ohio Republican who Trump tapped as his running mate has the inside track to the 2028 GOP nomination but it is not a done deal with the current head of Republican National Committee (RNC) saying they won't put their finger on the scale for any candidate.By all accounts, Vance is the heir to the MAGA crown, with Republican consultant Dave Carney calling the Ohio Republican "the guy to beat," and adding, "The vice president will be in the catbird seat. No question about it."ALSO READ: Why ABC settled a case they knew they would win — and why the Lincoln Project didn'tGOP strategist David Kochel, agreed, but cautioned, "There will be no shortage of people looking at it. But most people looking at it are seeing the relative strength of the Trump victory and the movement."According to Fox's Steinhauser, there will likely be others in the GOP who have long had their eye on the White House who will be testing the waters after having made previous runs.With Carney suggesting a "possible rough four years for the Trump/Vance administration" would hand challengers to Vance "opportunities," Fox's Steinhuaser pointed to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX), Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 2024 runner-up Nikki Haley and far-right Sen. Tom Cotton, also of Arkansas, as possible candidates.According to the Fox report, "DeSantis, who sources say Trump has considered as a plan B for Defense secretary if his nominee Pete Hegseth runs into trouble, has his eyes on another White House run," adding that Cruz, once thought to be in trouble in 2024 waltzed away with a six-point win in his re-election bid.As for Huckabee Sanders, Steinhauser wrote, "The first-term conservative governor of Arkansas is a well-known figure in MAGA world, thanks to her tenure as Trump's longest-serving White House press secretary during his first administration. The 42-year-old Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas governor and former two-time presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, has also grabbed national attention for delivering the GOP's response to President Biden's 2023 State of the Union address."Also popping up on the list are Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy who will be part of Trump's unfunded Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after Jan. 20th.You can read more right here.

The 2024 election put unprecedented focus on the experiences of people who sought abortions. They won't stop telling their stories with Trump in office.By Shefali Luthra, for The 19thLauren Miller already had a bad feeling about how things would turn out.She couldn’t stop the nervous tears, whether she was watching Instagram videos with her toddler or sitting in on work calls. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop imagining what might happen later that evening—that, for all her efforts to spotlight abortion, for all the times she’d shared her own story, it still somehow wouldn’t be enough—that Election Day would end in heartbreak.Miller, who lives in the Dallas area, had thrown herself into showing why the presidential election was tied to the future of abortion rights. She testified in front of Congress about the overturn of Roe v. Wade, appeared on national television, and traveled to Maine to speak at a campaign event on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris. In Texas, she campaigned for U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, a Democrat running to unseat Republican anti-abortion Sen. Ted Cruz.She felt like it was her duty. Miller entered the spotlight in March 2023, when she became one of the first five women to sue a state over its abortion ban, in a case known as Zurawski v. Texas. She talked publicly about how, at her 12-week ultrasound when pregnant with twins, she discovered that one of the fetuses she was carrying likely had a devastating anomaly. Testing confirmed it was Trisomy 18, a condition with slim odds of survival. She needed an abortion to improve the chances the healthy twin might live—but her only option for health care involved traveling to Colorado, a trip she made in October 2022.Miller was one of a group of women who relived the stories of their abortions—intense, private traumas—over and over for large audiences, hoping that doing so would lead Harris to victory. The 2024 election, the first presidential race since the fall of Roe, put an unprecedented focus on abortion rights. Harris regularly devoted events and speech time to the impact of the 2022 Supreme Court decision.Harris’ campaign represented a shift in how politicians talk about abortion; equally revolutionary was the heavy emphasis on storytellers. In politics, abortion has long been highlighted in abstract terms, with politicians and activists only occasionally sharing personal experiences with the heavily stigmatized healthcare. Now, instead of the exception, personal stories have become the rule, and the microphone handed from professional political actors to people who, had they not sought an abortion, might never have found themselves on the campaign trail. The switch has helped change how Americans talk and think about abortion. But it’s not without its personal costs.

President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans show up and try to stop Democrats from confirming more judges. Why it matters: President Biden is now 15 judicial confirmations away from the record set by Trump in his first term. Trump posted Wednesday on "X": "The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door. Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!"Democrats confirmed two more judges on Wednesday by 50-48 margins, with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Mike Braun (Indiana) missing the votes.If they'd voted, Vice President Harris would have been unavailable to break the 50-50 tie as she's currently vacationing in Hawaii."I am very angry – 90% of success in life is showing up," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters."I've got a 4th Circuit nominee that if my colleagues show up on my side I've secured Democratic votes to defeat. That is very personal to me," he said."I had a member ask me, 'Well, when is the vote?' I said, 'When you're not here,'" Tillis told reporters.Zoom in: Senate Republicans, including incoming Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) are in a showdown over judges with outgoing Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).Thune unveiled a plan Monday to aggressively defend against Biden's final nominees, Axios has reported.Schumer is prepared to grind through that defense with late night and weekend votes.
