Fox News: GOP gears up to challenge Georgia's Dem senator in state Trump won by 2%
Republicans are targeting Georgia's U.S. Senate race in 2026 as a critical opportunity to expand their majority, particularly following Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's decision not to seek re-election in New Hampshire. Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, is under scrutiny for his policies, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is viewed as a potential GOP candidate.
In addition to Georgia, Republicans are eyeing battleground states like Michigan and Minnesota, where Democratic incumbents have announced they will not run again. The NRSC believes these shifts could complicate Democratic efforts to regain control of the Senate.
Fox News: Trump continues to push alternative to controversial visa amid concerns about Chinese influence
Former President Donald Trump is advocating for a "gold card" visa that would allow foreign nationals to purchase a pathway to U.S. citizenship for $5 million. This proposal aims to replace the EB-5 investor visa program, which has faced criticism for potential abuse, particularly by Chinese nationals.
The gold card is positioned as a solution for U.S. companies struggling to hire top graduates from prestigious universities due to immigration restrictions. Trump acknowledged concerns about possible exploitation of the program but suggested that such issues could arise regardless. The EB-5 program has been criticized for its management and potential for fraud, leading to bipartisan efforts for reform.
