Montana Senate showdown emerges as Trump-backed Republican faces independent challenge

The race to replace a political titan from the Treasure State has taken shape with three challengers who will square off in November.  What was expected to be an easy path to victory in Montana was shaken up earlier in 2026. Now, three new faces — former U.S. District Attorney Kurt Alme, ex- University of Montana President Seth Bodnar and Alani Bankhead — are all headed to the big stage in November. Republican Sen. Steve Daines' sudden exit from his reelection campaign opened up the race in ruby-red Montana.  2026 MIDTERMS: PRIMARIES, KEY RACES AND ELECTION RESULTS Now, it’s a three-way battle between his chosen successor, an insurgent independent candidate and a total political newcomer.  Alme has a home field advantage given the groundwork Daines laid throughout his political career, turning Montana from a purple to a ruby red bastion for the GOP.   But Alme hasn’t run for statewide office before. He was tapped twice by President Donald Trump to serve as U.S. District Attorne...

Tomas Hertl scores game-winner as Golden Knights rally to beat Hurricanes in Game 1 of Stanley Cup Final

The Vegas Golden Knights have taken Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, erasing the Carolina Hurricanes' early 2-0 lead to win a thrilling 5-4 game in Raleigh and set the tone for this best-of-seven series. It’s a seven-game win streak for Vegas now, as they haven’t lost since Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Anaheim Ducks . They surprisingly swept the Colorado Avalanche to win the West, and they kept that momentum going on the road. Tomas Hertl was the hero for the Golden Knights in Game 1, as he scored the game-winning goal on a snipe with 3:25 left in the third period. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM But it wasn’t easy for Vegas in the first period when the Hurricanes were quick to assert their home-ice advantage just 25 seconds into the game. It was the first shot on goal for either side when Nikolaj Ehlers poked a puck past an aggressive Shea Theodore for Vegas, and he sprinted down ice toward Carter Hart, who mans the Golden Knights’ ne...

Republicans can win the midterms if they just stop underselling success

Republicans head into the 2026 midterms with a rare advantage: a concrete record of accomplishments to run on powered by President Donald Trump ’s second-term successes. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has proposed a practical midterm strategy reminiscent of his 1994 " Contract with America " that urges Republicans to run hard on their winning record. That record includes such wins as the Working Families Tax Cut, which has already brought positive effects to the economy. The "Big Beautiful Bill" extended the 2017 tax cuts, ended taxes on tips and overtime, ended taxes on Social Security for most seniors, expanded the child tax credits and childcare tax credits. It also permitted businesses to write off major investments, made permanent a 20% small-business tax deduction, loosened restrictions on oil and gas lease sales, expanded Workforce Pell grants, provided investment accounts for children and expanded access to zero-deductible telehealth. Remarkably, ...

From reality TV to city hall? Trump-backed Spencer Pratt soars in LA mayor race as Californians vote

Republicans are aiming to break longtime losing streaks by taking first steps toward winning elections for governor and Los Angeles mayor as voters in Democrat-dominated California head to the polls on Tuesday. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump 's clout over the GOP will once again face a ballot box test, in a gubernatorial showdown in Iowa, while the Hawkeye State's Democratic Senate nomination is the latest battle between the establishment and progressive wings of the party. California and Iowa are two of the six states holding primary contests from coast to coast during the first week of June, in elections that will impact November's midterms, when the GOP's slim Senate and razor-thin House majorities will be up for grabs. The election arguably grabbing the most headlines nationally is in Los Angeles, where it's been three decades since a Republican won a mayoral contest in the nation's second most populous city. Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star and online i...

Battle between Bari Weiss and ‘60 Minutes’ explodes as Scott Pelley accuses her of murdering the show

If you thought there was an uproar at "60 Minutes," that was pattycake compared to what happened yesterday. Bari Weiss has been under assault by journalists and commentators since becoming editor-in-chief of CBS, mostly from liberals and left-leaners who are convinced she’s a crazy conservative. That’s not true, and I’ve mostly defended her, but she has made some rookie mistakes as someone who never worked in television. So even as the headlines swirled around President Donald Trump’s decision to drop the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund – made possible because many Republicans joined Democrats in openly criticizing the fund aimed at the Jan. 6 rioters – Weiss is facing a rebellion of her own. First she fired "60 Minutes" correspondents Cecilia Vega and Sharyn Alfonsi (whose story on a Salvador prison she held, but ran intact after Trump officials wouldn’t appear), along with executive producer Tanya Simon.  SCOTT PELLEY HAS HEATED CONFRONTATION WI...

Ex-Iowa school superintendent sentenced to prison as an illegal alien found with firearms

The former superintendent of Iowa's largest school district was sentenced Friday to two years in prison after pleading guilty in January to falsely claiming U.S. citizenship on employment paperwork and illegally possessing firearms while unlawfully in the United States Ian Andre Roberts, who served as the top leader of Des Moines Public Schools, is expected to be deported to his native Guyana in South America after completing his sentence, according to his attorneys and the Associated Press (AP). The ruling caps a dramatic downturn in the longtime educator’s two-decade career in urban education, according to the Associated Press (AP). It first unraveled after an immigration operation led to his detention and resignation in 2025. Prosecutors said Roberts knowingly misrepresented his citizenship status on employment paperwork during his time at the district, which serves 30,000 students, according to the AP. FORMER IOWA SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT ARRESTED BY ICE EXPECTED TO PLEAD GUILT...
