Questions are swirling over Vice President Harris's next move as she readies to exit the White House in the wake of her loss to President-elect Trump. Early polling suggests Democrats want to see Harris back in the running for the Oval Office in 2028, despite her defeat this cycle. But some in the party speculate the vice president could seek another office — for starters, the governor's mansion in California — or pursue avenues outside electoral politics to help bolster the resistance against a second Trump term. |

Progressives are debating who should lead their movement as they seek to remake the Democratic Party in a new populist mold following devastating losses in November.

The International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision this week to indict Israeli leaders on charges of war crimes in Gaza has reignited the clash among Democrats over Israel's handling of the war with Hamas.
On one side, Israel's staunchest Democratic allies quickly lashed out at the court, accusing it of pro-Palestinian bias and undermining the right of Israel to defend itself from terrorist threats. |

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing an increasingly uncertain future as he stares down both a criminal trial and a likely fierce reelection battle next year. Adams was indicted in September on federal corruption charges over allegedly accepting bribes from wealthy businessmen and a Turkish government official. He has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty, but his popularity dropped even more after prosecutors unveiled the charges. |

The White House has taken its show largely behind closed doors after Vice President Harris's stinging defeat to Donald Trump. Harris has all but disappeared from the public eye, jetting off to Hawaii after a few scarce appearances around Washington following her massive loss on Nov. 5. President Biden, meanwhile, managed to keep the press at arm's length during a recent six-day foreign trip and held meetings and events at the White House upon his return that normally would have been at least briefly on camera. |

President-elect Trump announced that he will nominate Brooke Rollins to be the Secretary of Agriculture on Saturday, building upon a hefty list of Cabinet picks. "Brooke's commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none," Trump wrote in a release, lauding her family's background in farming and early involvement with Future Farmers of America in addition to 4H. |

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, and committee member Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) condemned President-elect Trump for tapping Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought to serve as the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during his second administration. "After vehemently denying his links to Project 2025 through the campaign, the President-elect just tapped its lead architect, Russell Vought, to run his coming all-of-government purge as Director of the Office of Management and Budget," the lawmakers said in a joint statement. |

OPINION | In the 2024 elections, a wide swath of Americans — especially young non-college educated men, Blacks and Latinos — swung towards Donald Trump and the Republicans. Democrats know they must change course if they don't want to become a permanent minority party that appeals only to those with college or higher degrees. |
OPINION | As a lifelong Democrat, staunch leftist, and radical feminist, I was not happy to see Donald Trump elected once more. But I was not surprised. Data showed that "the most frequent criticism among swing voters who broke for Trump" was that "Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class." To me, this came as no shock. |

Breaking with past practice, President-elect Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions. |
Republicans descend on the enclave to be near Mar-a-Lago, snarling traffic, jostling for hotel rooms and looking to buy homes. |
In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. |
