Media figures and Democrats warned women will face dire consequences if former President Trump is re-elected. Ohio senator and Republican candidate for vice president JD Vance took aim at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's football IQ after the Democratic vice presidential nominee posted a confusing tweet during a livestream of himself playing Madden. "They parade Tim Walz around as some kind of football genius as a former football coach, and maybe I know more about football than Gov. Tim Walz does," Vance said during a rally in Saginaw, Michigan on Tuesday. The comments come after Walz teamed up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to livestream a session of the two playing the Madden NFL video game against each other, an event that was reportedly an effort by the campaign to widen its appeal among young male voters. Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz addresses the crowd at a "Native Americans for Harris-Walz" event at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024.

A preliminary report on the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Trump from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs ripped into newly revealed missteps that went into the Secret Service's planning and execution of security at the event during which a spectator was killed, two others were seriously wounded and the GOP candidate was struck on the ear. Among the key failures, an agent inexperienced with drone equipment called a toll-free tech support hotline for help after a request ahead of time for additional unmanned assets was denied, according to a preliminary summary of findings made public Wednesday. According to the committee, he had just an hour of informal training with the device. "Multiple foreseeable and preventable planning and operational failures by USSS contributed to [Thomas] Crooks' ability to carry out the assassination attempt of former President Trump on July 13," the preliminary report read. "These included unclear roles and responsibilities, insufficient coordination with state and local law enforcement, the lack of effective communications, and inoperable C-UAS systems, among many others."

A billionaire relative of California Gov. Gavin Newsom's wife is hosting a major fundraiser for former President Trump in California on Friday, according to reports. Tom and Stacey Siebel are hosting a fundraiser in the Bay Area community of Woodside for Trump on Friday afternoon. Tom Siebel, a billionaire software developer and CEO of his own enterprise AI software company, C3.ai, is a second cousin once removed of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Los Angeles Times reported. Tom Siebel has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump's 2024 campaign and PACs supporting the Republican nominee, according to the Times and the San Francisco Gate. Newsom has been a vocal critic of Trump and was a surrogate for President Biden's now-defunct re-election campaign.

Former President Trump told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo last week that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called him to apologize after Facebook wrongly mislabeled a now-viral photo of the former president. The photo showing Trump raising a fist after a July 13 assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, sliced his ear was initially labeled as misinformation on the social media site. "So, Mark Zuckerberg called me. First of all, he called me two times. He called me after the event and he said that was really amazing," Trump told Bartiromo in a "Mornings with Maria" interview that aired Thursday.

Fox News' Chad Pergram previews the Senate's Tuesday hearing with acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. and FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate as lawmakers continue investigating the security lapses at Trump's Butler rally. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Jr. admitted to the Senate on Tuesday that the assassination attempt against former President Trump was "a failure of the Secret Service," and not local law enforcement. Rowe's admission was the most direct assignment of guilt by the Secret Service and investigators since the July 13 shooting. The acting director appeared before the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees on Tuesday alongside FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate. Rowe detailed the failure of a drone detection system that was supposed to be online before shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks conducted his own reconnaissance the day of the rally.

"Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump." "They're getting themselves into a lot of trouble if they interfere with the election," he wrote in a follow-up post.

BETHAL PARK, Penn – The U.S. Secret Service had availability to use drones and chose not to at the fateful Pennsylvania rally that spiraled into an assassination attempt against former President Trump, Rep. Michael Guest said. Guest, R-Miss., told Fox News Digital that elected officials were briefed that no counter-drone use from the Secret Service or the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) was used in preparation for and during the Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally on July 13. The Republican said the PSP revealed it did have the availability of drones but that no requests were made. "The Secret Service was responsible for the operational plan," he said. "And they made the decision to not only not fly drones that day but to not station law enforcement on top of a water tower."

Fox News correspondent CB Cotton reports that different agencies disagree on the events at the Trump rally shooting. Fox News drones provided a new perspective on the sight lines between Thomas Matthew Crooks, former President Trump and the Secret Service counter sniper teams at the fateful rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Thursday. Fox News correspondent CB Cotton also detailed the sight lines that Crooks had when firing on Trump. A drone recreation shows that Crooks was largely concealed from Secret Service counter snipers by a large tree, though he still had an angle on the former president. The Secret Service agent who neutralized Crooks was stationed on a building behind Trump.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss reports of Democratic concerns about President Biden's 2024 candidacy. The White House and Biden campaign have questioned former President Trump's fitness to serve as questions continue to swirl around President Biden's mental acuity. Asked during a news conference Tuesday if Biden had Alzheimer's or any form of dementia, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said "no" while hinting that the "same exact question" should be asked of the "other guy," referring to Trump. The answer comes after Biden continues to face widespread skepticism about his ability to win the election and serve another term as president in the wake of a disastrous debate performance last week, resulting in many calling on the president to step aside and let a younger candidate take over at the top of the ticket. The Biden campaign has acknowledged the president's poor performance but pushed back against the idea he would drop out of the race, arguing Biden still has the ability to lead and is the party's best chance at defeating Trump. The campaign has also begun calling Trump's cognitive ability into question, citing times the former president has confused who he was talking about.

A group of voters polled by Fox News Digital in real-time react to former President Trump's defense of his cognitive abilities.

During the CNN Presidential Debate on Thursday night, CNN moderator Dana Bash presented the ages Biden and Trump would be at the end of a potential second four-year term. Biden would be 86, while Trump would be 82. Former President Trump, left, and President Biden squared off in their high-stakes 2024 election debate on Thursday, and the contrast between the pair could not have been starker, a body language expert tells Fox News.
