Tim Walz toyed with the idea, but decided against it. There may be some other Democrats that are itching to jump in, but we'll see if any of them are willing to challenge her.

All sorts of unlikely people have flocked to Trump's Republican party, and it's gaining steam across the nation. Are these permanent gains or just a Trump wave?

President Trump has been putting Vice President Vance into situations to set him up to succeed and build a political resume going into 2028.
