President-elect Trump's resounding victory last week threatens to further isolate his few remaining GOP critics on Capitol Hill. The shrinking group of Republicans who have bucked the president-elect underscores Trump's dominance over the party and raises questions about how this GOP faction will navigate the new political reality in Washington. |

Energy and environment agencies may be helmed during the second Trump administration by officials who have served under the president-elect before.
Several ex-Trump officials are among the leading contenders for the jobs, including two who appear to have helped President-elect Trump during his campaign. Former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler apparently sent Trump talking points for his debate against President Biden, while former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt fielded reporter questions about energy policy with the Trump campaign over the summer. |

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is projected to beat Republican Kari Lake in a consequential race for Arizona Senate, dealing the former local news anchor her second straight electoral loss, according to Decision Desk HQ. Gallego, who has served in the House for nearly a decade representing a Phoenix-based House seat, will succeed outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.). Sinema opted against reelection after changing her political affiliation from Democrat to Independent last year, as Sinema faced steep odds in getting reelected. |

Democrats are questioning their steady reliance on A-list celebrity endorsements after a brutal election loss by Vice President Harris that has triggered existential questions within the party about whether it's fallen out of touch with working-class voters. Harris had a number of policies intended to lift up working-class Americans, from her embrace of the child tax credit, to proposals to make homes more affordable and to go after price gouging by corporations. |

President-elect Trump announced that former Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would not be joining his administration on Saturday. "I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation," the Republican leader wrote on Truth Social. "I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" |

Tezlyn Figaro, a former campaign adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said "there was never a chance in hell" that Vice President Harris would win the presidential election, putting blame on President Biden's late dropout announcement and big-money consultants. "There was never a chance in hell that VP Harris was going to have a shot at this," Figaro told NewsNation's Dan Abrams on Friday. |

A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employee was terminated after advising her survivor assistance team to not go to homes with President-elect Trump campaign signs on them following the onslaught of Hurricane Milton in Florida, the agency's head confirmed. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell described the incident as "reprehensible," noting that "more than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA's core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors." |

OPINION | Many observers are ringing the alarm bells about Donald Trump's reelection, fearing a retreat from America's role in the world. Critics insist that his approach to foreign policy will dismantle the rules-based international order that the U.S. has long championed. But although Trump's approach is far from traditional, it is neither reckless nor isolationist. Instead, it represents a strategy of restraint aimed at addressing core threats without entangling America in endless global commitments. |
OPINION | When Jeb Bush took office in January of 1999, as only the second Republican since Reconstruction to be governor in the Sunshine State, he promised in his inaugural address to shrink the size of government. "While our government has grown larger, so too has the crushing weight of taxes, regulations and mandates on Florida's families and entrepreneurs," he said. What media outlets considered to be radical at the time seems in hindsight tame, even quaint by today's standards. But Bush went on to begin perhaps the greatest sustained conservative policy revolution in American history |
