If the saying is true that a series doesn’t start until the home team loses a game, then the Cleveland Guardians are still waiting for the American League Championship Series to begin.The New York Yankees are two wins away from winning their first pennant since 2009 after their 6-3 victory over the Guardians in Game 2 of the ALCS on Tuesday night.What was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel was anything but one. Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole recorded just one out in the fifth inning, and Tanner Bibee was yanked in just the second inning. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNew York jumped out to a 3-0 lead early, as Aaron Judge’s sky-high pop-up was dropped, leading to the first run of the game. In the second inning, Alex Verdugo recorded an RBI double, and then Judge hit a sac fly with the bases loaded (it was reliever Cade Smith’s first batter after Cleveland intentionally walked Juan Soto).The Guardians did jump on Cole in the fifth, though, loading the bases and playing small ball with a sac fly and a fielder’s choice that drove in a run to make it a 3-2 game.The Yankees had a chance for a big sixth inning, but both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Rizzo were both thrown out on the bases. Instead, they scored just one run, after Rizzo doubled and Volpe scored on an error. However, Judge finally got the big October hit he desperately needed, sending a two-run home run to center field in the seventh to make it a 6-2 Yankees lead.Judge had been hitting .204 in his previous 49 postseason games entering Tuesday — in this October alone, he was 2-for-17 (.118), albeit with a .333 on-base percentage. His long-term October resume still isn’t great, but it’s certain that he needed something.Four Yankees relievers combined for 4.2 innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out three. Jose Ramirez’s solo home run in the ninth inning off Luke Weaver was the first earned run the Yankees bullpen allowed this October.The series now moves to Cleveland, where Game 3 will be Thursday at 5:08 p.m. ET. Clarke Schmidt will start for the Yankees, while Cleveland’s starter hasn’t been named yet. Cleveland will have to win two of three at home to force the series back to the Bronx — and win four of the final five in order to advance to the World Series.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have sat down for at least 79 interviews since the Harris-Walz ticket was formed in early August, compared to at least 43 non-scripted interviews for the Democratic presidential ticket thus far.After doing just one joint interview in the first three weeks of her campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have stepped up their media appearances in recent weeks to more match those of their Republican counterparts. Harris will speak with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on Wednesday in Pennsylvania, marking her first interview on the network. In addition to an appearance on Tuesday on Charlamagne Tha God’s radio show, Harris has also done recent interviews with such outlets as CBS on “60 Minutes,” liberal magazine Vogue, progressive journalist Roland Martin, and popular podcasts like “Call Her Daddy,” “All The Smoke” and “The Shade Room.” She also appeared last week on “The View,” where she made headlines for not saying what she would have done differently from President Biden, as well as the shows of outspoken supporters Stephen Colbert and Howard Stern. Harris has largely struck to friendly environments, also speaking with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle last month, in addition to local news interviews in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. She received public criticism this week from Time Magazine owner Marc Benioff, however, for denying the outlet’s interview requests for a story about her potential presidency.VP KAMALA HARRIS TO SIT DOWN WITH CHIEF POLITICAL ANCHOR BRET BAIER FOR FIRST FORMAL FOX NEWS INTERVIEWAs Hurricane Milton closed in on Florida last week, she also did phone interviews with The Weather Channel and CNN.

New hope could be on the horizon for ALS patients in the form of a “breakthrough” drug, researchers say.Neuvivo, a California biopharmaceutical company that develops therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, is seeking approval for a new medication for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that gradually impairs muscle function, eventually robbing the patient of the ability to walk, talk, eat and even breathe, per the ALS Association.MOM WITH ALS SHARES MOTHER-SON WEDDING DANCE IN FLORIDAThis month, Neuvivo submitted a new drug application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NP001 (sodium chlorite infusion).The drug has been granted orphan drug and fast track designations by the FDA and is eligible for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, which could shorten the time to a potential approval, according to a press release.”If approved, NP001 would be the first immunotherapy for ALS, and the first ALS treatment shown to preserve lung function,” Matthew W. Davis, MD, chief medical officer of Neuvivo, told Fox News Digital.There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for ALS that preserve breathing function or extend life by more than two or three months, the company noted.The leading cause of death in patients with ALS is loss of lung function (respiratory failure).MAN PARALYZED IN DIVING MISHAP HAS MEDICAL MIRACLE A YEAR AFTER AI-POWERED BRAIN IMPLANTApproximately 30,000 adults in the U.S. are currently living with ALS, and one in 300 people will be diagnosed in their lifetime.The average life expectancy after a patient is diagnosed with ALS is 18 months.”Half of the people living with ALS today will unfortunately not likely be living in three years,” Davis said.Dr. Earnest Lee Murray, a board-certified neurologist at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee, confirmed that current ALS treatments are “very limited” in their effectiveness. While existing drugs combat ALS through the nervous system, NP001 — if approved — would be the first therapy that works by controlling inflammation in the immune system.”NP001 would be indicated for all patients with ALS, although our data supports that patients with inflammation are likely to have significantly greater benefit,” Davis said.Murray, who is not affiliated with Neuvivo, noted that excessive inflammation has been a known factor in the progression of muscle weakness in ALS. While initial studies of NP001 did not show any “statistically significant” improvement, the neurologist said, “reanalysis of the previous data looked at certain subgroups of patients with particularly high inflammatory markers.””This data suggests that NP001 can slow progressive loss of muscle function, especially when it comes to a patient’s ability to breathe, by targeting a specific immune system cell called a macrophage,” Murray told Fox News Digital.”Halting the activation of macrophages oftentimes can have an effect on other immune cells, which will hopefully alter the progression of ALS.”During the first month of treatment, NP001 is given as a 30-minute infusion each day for five consecutive days, according to Davis.Every month thereafter, the medication is given for three consecutive days in the same way.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERNP001 was “generally well-tolerated” in clinical trials, Davis said.The most commonly reported side effect was pain, redness and swelling where the drug was infused, which were “generally transitory and mild.”Murray echoed that early studies have demonstrated that NP001 is safe and well-tolerated. “I am cautiously optimistic that as NP001 moves though the FDA process of clinical trials, it will show true improvement in ALS patients and offer some hope to patients and families dealing with this devastating disease,” he said.For more Health articles, visit www.foxnews.com/healthAs the drug undergoes FDA review, Neuvivo will continue to post updates for patients and caregivers on its website, according to Davis.

White women could be the key voting bloc that secures the 2024 Election for Vice President Kamala Harris, CNN data reporter Harry Enten argued on the network on Tuesday.Recent polls show former President Trump gaining ground with Latino and Black voters. However, the largest group of likely voters, White women, have shifted away from Trump in battleground states, according to Enten’s analysis. An aggregate of polling indicates that Harris is underperforming among White men, women of color and men of color, when compared to voters who supported President Biden in the 2020 Election. However, Harris is outperforming among White women to “a historic degree,” Enten said.Trump won this voting bloc by seven points in 2020, according to post-election surveys taken at the time. Since 2012, the Republican presidential candidate has won the White women vote. But with less than three weeks to go until the November election, Trump now holds just a 1-point advantage among this group, the data guru said.‘WHITE WOMEN FOR KAMALA’ SPEAKER TELLS VIEWERS TO NEVER CORRECT BLACK WOMEN: ‘PUT OUR LISTENING EARS ON!’ “He‘s doing the worst — if this holds — for a GOP candidate this century among White women,” Enten continued.Harris’ lead with White women could ultimately help her win the election, he argued, since they make up 36% of the electorate, according to his analysis.”Yesterday we were talking about those massive gains that Donald Trump was making among Black men, Black women. But the bottom line is, they actually make up a considerably smaller portion of the electorate than White women do,” Enten said.”So when we‘re talking about 5, 6-point shifts, 7-point shifts in Kamala Harris‘ direction, [among White women], we‘re talking about that among a major part of the electorate and that can actually move the overall electorate more than ginormous shift among a considerably smaller part of the electorate,” he said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREPolls suggest abortion is driving these voters to support the Democratic ticket this election, he said.According to a New York Times/Siena College survey cited by CNN, abortion is the top voting issue for 27% of women across the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where over 80% of voters are White.”I think what we‘re talking about here is after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, White women in the suburban areas, in these key battleground states, have very much turned against Republicans, and we‘re seeing in the polling right now, because Kamala Harris is doing historically well, at least this century for a Democratic candidate among White women. And of course they make up a very large portion of the electorate,” Enten said.”If she wins it could ultimately be because she did so well with White women,” Enten continued.

The U.S. is now more deeply entrenched in the conflict in the Middle East after a pivotal move to send troops to Israel was announced this week. On Monday, the Biden administration revealed it would offer Israel one of the U.S.’s highly sophisticated THAAD missile defense systems – as Israel braces for potential Iranian retaliation to the counter-attack it is planning after Tehran rained down missiles on Tel Aviv on Oct. 1. Only U.S. troops can operate the system, and 100 of them will deploy to Israel. The Pentagon only has seven operable Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries in its possession, and the one offered to Israel would presumably be among the seven. Though Washington has armed Israel throughout its existence, putting boots on the ground for Israel’s defense is a rare departure from U.S. policy and the first U.S. deployment there since the outbreak of war after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. “It’s a bit unprecedented,” said EJ Kimpton, policy director at the U.S. Israel Education Association. “Israel’s mantra has been, you know, with ‘Never Again,’ meaning we will defend ourselves by ourselves, obviously working with allies, but that we should be able to defend our country and not be dependent upon others,” Kimpton went on. “It changes the dynamic between the U.S. and Israel in Israel’s war fighting over the years.””This would be the first time that U.S. personnel would be actively engaged in essentially fighting a war with Israel if Iran were to carry out additional strikes.”  NETANYAHU HITS BIDEN ADMIN, SAYS ISRAEL – NOT US – WILL DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE IRANFrom pushing Israel to a cease-fire, the U.S. has pivoted to containing the war in the Middle East, to seemingly accepting the fate of U.S. involvement in the conflict. The U.S. has some 43,000 troops deployed elsewhere in the Middle East and recently sent a “few thousand” to the region within the last few weeks to be ready to defend Israel if necessary.  “It’s inescapable to see it as anything else [than escalation], the United States is now actually sending troops. We did not do that in Ukraine,” Trita Parsi, vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, told Fox News Digital. Sending U.S. troops to Ukraine is a non-starter in American discourse – a popular refrain among supporters is that such aid will prevent U.S. troops from ever having to put themselves in Russia’s line of fire. “We may end up having American casualties, and to put soldiers in that type of vulnerable situation for something that is not the defense of the United States itself, I think, is a very serious step taken by the administration,” said Parsi.In the past, Iranians have targeted military installations, including Israeli air defense systems. The THAAD system is expected to be able to intercept ballistic missiles launched from Iran and Yemen and shoot down any short-range missiles launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon. Others question why the administration is supplying the system with no real off-ramp to the conflict or U.S. involvement in it. Israel’s mission to eradicate Hezbollah and Hamas has now drawn it into direct conflict with Iran, and hope for peace anytime soon appears to have faded.”Why are we keeping U.S. troops in harm’s way in Iraq and Syria with no clear mission or defensive strategy, while deploying critical defense systems like THAAD to Israel?” Jason Beardsley, senior coalitions adviser to Concerned Veterans for America, questioned. “The reality is, we’re funding both sides of this conflict – directly aiding Iraq, whose Iranian-backed militias target our forces, and indirectly supporting Israel’s defense without addressing the real vulnerability: U.S. personnel scattered across the Middle East, with Iran’s proxies actively targeting our troops.”IDF MEETS LITTLE RESISTANCE FROM HEZBOLLAH AFTER WEEKS OF HITTING TERROR TARGETS, OFFICIALS SAYThe U.S. has some 2,500 troops in Iraq leading a coalition that provides extensive support to the Iraqi Security Forces to fight ISIS. But Iran has already tightened its grip on Baghdad and the mission its forces carry out. The THAAD will assist Israel’s other missile defenses in what could be the Biden administration bracing for escalation: an aggressive counter-attack from Iran to an aggressive counter-attack from Israel. For two weeks, the world has waited to see how Israel responds to the 200 missiles Iran fired at the heart of Tel Aviv. A violent showing from Israel might deter Iran from wanting to pick a larger battle. But in the Biden administration’s view, a disproportionate response risks a tit-for-tat that could lead to all-out war. President Biden may have offered the system as a way to coax Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to follow his recommendation: to make sure Israel’s counterstrike to Iran’s missile attacks is “proportional” – by going after military installations – not nuclear or oil facilities. “I think the administration may be thinking that by offering this, they can convince the Israelis not to go that far,” said Parsi. “If you truly want to put an end to this, then sending the same system that actually makes it easier for Israel to escalate is not the answer…  Sometimes, it’s really difficult to discern who is actually making the policy and what is the policy.”Netanyahu told Biden he was willing to strike military facilities when they spoke on the phone last week, according to a Washington Post report. But after that report, Netanyahu said in a statement he would not be making any decisions based on Biden’s insistence on proportionality. “We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make our final decisions based on our national interest.”

In a symbolic display of anger, North Korea on Tuesday blew up the northern sections of unused road and rail routes that once linked it with South Korea, with the rivals exchanging threats days after the North claimed that the South flew drones over its capital Pyongyang.The choreographed demolition underlines North Korea’s growing anger against South Korea’s conservative government. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to sever relations with South Korea and abandon the goal of achieving peaceful Korean unification.NORTH KOREA SENDS WARNING TO SOUTH KOREA, SAYING TROOPS READY TO STRIKE IF MORE DRONES APPEARObservers say it’s unlikely Kim will launch a preemptive, large-scale attack on South Korea because of fear that an almost certain massive retaliation by the more superior forces of the United States and South Korea would threaten Pyongyang’s survival.In response to the explosions, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said its military fired warning shots within southern sections of the border as it bolstered its readiness and surveillance posture. The statement did not give details, but the move could have been an attempt to avert cross-border fire by North Korea.South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles affairs with North Korea, separately condemned the North’s detonations as a “highly abnormal” and “regressive” measure that violates previous inter-Korean agreements.Video provided by South Korea’s military showed a cloud of white and gray smoke emerging from the explosion at a road near the western border town of Kaesong. North Korean trucks and excavators could be seen clearing out debris. Another video showed smoke emerging from a coastal road near the eastern border.During a previous era of inter-Korean detente in the 2000s, the two Koreas reconnected two pairs of road and rail links across their heavily fortified border — one pair called Gyeongui Line on the western portion and the other called Donghae Line on the eastern portion. But their operations were later suspended as the Koreas wrangled over North Korea’s nuclear program and other issues.Parts of the road route on Gyeongui Line and parts of both road and rail routes on Donghae Line were destroyed Tuesday. North Korea has already removed ties and rails from the northern side of Gyeongui Line’s rail track, according to the South Korean military.North Korea has a history of staging the choreographed destruction of facilities on its own soil as a political message.In 2020, North Korea blew up an empty, South Korean-built liaison office building just north of the border in retaliation for South Korean civilian leafleting campaigns. In 2018, North Korea demolished tunnels at its nuclear testing site at the start of nuclear diplomacy with the United States. In 2008, North Korea blew up a cooling tower at its main nuclear complex when earlier disarmament-for-aid negotiations with Washington and others were happening.Destroying the road and rail links, mainly built with South Korean money, would be in line with leader Kim Jong Un’s order in January to abandon the goal of peaceful Korean unification and formally designate South Korea as the country’s “invariable principal enemy.” That order surprised many outside North Korea watchers because it seemed to break from his predecessors’ long-cherished dreams of peacefully unifying the Korean Peninsula on the North’s terms.Experts say Kim likely aims to diminish South Korea’s voice in the regional nuclear standoff and seek direct dealings with the United States. Kim may also hope to diminish South Korean cultural influence and bolster his family’s dynastic rule at home.North Korea has accused South Korea of infiltrating drones to drop propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang three times this month and threatened to respond with force if it happened again. South Korea has refused to confirm whether it sent drones but warned that North Korea would face the end of its regime if the safety of South Korean citizens is threatened.Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of Kim Jong Un, said Tuesday that North Korea has secured unspecified clear evidence that South Korean “military gangsters” are behind the alleged drone flights. She warned that South Korea “will have to pay a dear price.”North Korea’s state media reported Tuesday that Kim Jong Un laid out unspecified tasks related to “immediate military action” and the operation of his war deterrent during a meeting Monday. North Korea’s military earlier threatened to turn South Korea into “piles of ashes,” saying its frontline army units were ready to open fire.The South Korean Unification Ministry said the cross-border roads and the rail links were built with South Korean materials and equipment worth $132.9 million provided in the form of loans, and the North is still obligated to pay back the aid.Last week, North Korea said it would permanently block its border with South Korea and build front-line defense structures. South Korean officials said North Korea had been adding anti-tank barriers and laying mines along the border since earlier this year.In recent years North Korea has performed a run of provocative missile tests, and South Korea and the United States have expanded military drills and cooperation.

Former Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade left Capitol Hill on Tuesday after a marathon four-and-a-half hour grilling by House Judiciary Committee investigators.Wade, whose legal team included former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, said little to reporters before, after, and during his closed-door deposition. No lawmakers were seen entering or leaving the room.”This is all I’m going to say — we gave our testimony, we cooperated, and we are through,” Barnes told reporters after the session.GEORGIA GOP CHAIR SHARES 2-PRONGED ELECTION STRATEGY AS TRUMP WORKS TO WIN BACK PEACH STATEBarnes said “yes” when asked if it was an effective meeting and “no” when asked by Fox News Digital if he expected to follow up with the committee.Earlier, he had testy words for a reporter who asked whether Wade would plead the Fifth Amendment, responding tersely, “What crime has been committed here?”The House Judiciary Committee has been seeking information on Wade’s relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is investigating former President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia. Trump and 18 allies were indicted by a grand jury in August 2023 on charges including racketeering and conspiracy.Wade was brought into that investigation by Willis as a special prosecutor but stepped away after it was revealed he and Willis began a romantic relationship, which has since ended.TRUMP VS HARRIS ROUND 2? VOTERS IN KEY GA COUNTY REVEAL IF THEY WANT SECOND DEBATEIn a pair of letters published by the Republican majority on the committee on Monday night, Willis said Wade was instructed “not to answer any questions about his role in the election interference case or about any evidence in that case.””The disclosure of such evidence may also interfere with ongoing proceedings, this is considered legally privileged and not subject to disclosure,” Willis wrote.The committee responded on X, saying, “What is she trying to hide?”CLUB FOR GROWTH POURS $5M INTO TIGHT HOUSE RACES AS GOP BRACES FOR TOUGH ELECTIONIt’s one of several probes by House Republicans into Trump’s legal battles since he left office.Both Willis and Wade have maintained that their relationship had nothing to do with the case and have accused Republicans of trying to unjustly interfere in the Fulton County probe.Jordan, meanwhile, is probing whether U.S. tax dollars were used to help bankroll their relationship during the course of the Trump probe.One of Trump’s co-defendants had sued to have Willis and Wade disqualified from the case, arguing their relationship presented a conflict of interest and that they financially benefited from the probe — which they have denied.A Fulton County judge ruled in March that Willis could stay on the case if Wade was removed.Fox News Digital reached out to the House Judiciary Committee for comment on Wade’s deposition.

Al Pacino felt “relief” after severely twisting his ankle while filming “The Godfather.”At the time, studio executives did not think Pacino was the right fit for the role of Michael Corleone. Pacino, who was 31 years old at the time, knew the “axe could fall” on him at any point.For one scene, Pacino had to run and jump onto a moving car.”I had no stand-in. I had no stuntman. I had to do it myself,” Pacino wrote in his memoir “Sonny Boy,” via The Guardian. “I jumped, and I missed the car. Now I was lying in a gutter on White Plains Road in the Bronx, flat on my back and looking up at the sky. I had twisted my ankle so badly that I couldn’t move.AL PACINO SAYS HE FELL UNCONSCIOUS TO THE FLOOR DURING NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE: ‘I DIDN’T HAVE A PULSE'”Everyone on the crew had crowded around me. They were trying to lift me up, asking me: Was my ankle broken? Could I walk? I didn’t know. I lay there thinking, This is a miracle. Oh God, you’re saving me. I don’t have to do this picture any more,” he continued.”I was shocked by the feeling of relief that passed over me,” Pacino explained. “Showing up for work every day, feeling unwanted, feeling like an underling, was an oppressive experience, and this injury could be my release from that prison. At least now they could fire me, recast another actor as Michael, and not lose every dime they’d already put into the picture. But that’s not what happened.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSPacino gained fame for his role in Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather.” He caught the eye of the Academy award-winning director after starring in “The Panic in Needle Park.”Many A-list stars wanted the role of Michael Corleone, including Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and Ryan O’Neal.However, Coppola had his eye on Pacino.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”Francis wanted me. He wanted me and I knew that,” Pacino wrote in his memoir, according to the outlet. “And there’s nothing like when a director wants you.”He also gave me a gift in the form of Diane Keaton. He had a few actors he was auditioning for the role of Kay, but the fact that he wanted to pair me up with Diane suggested she had an edge in the process. I knew she was doing well in her career and had been appearing on Broadway in shows like ‘Hair’ and ‘Play It Again, Sam’ with Woody Allen.”Diane Keaton and Pacino landed their respective roles and “hit it off” as friends.”She was easy to talk to and funny, and she thought I was funny too,” he wrote. “I felt like I had a friend and an ally right away.”

Voters who spoke with Fox News Digital in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, emphasized the economy’s outsized role in the 2024 election next month, citing the struggles being felt by Wisconsinites across the state. “I just know I was much better off when Trump was president,” retired teacher Sharon Kaufman told Fox News Digital. She explained that she considered how her family was doing under both the Trump-Pence administration and the Biden-Harris administration, and also looked “at all our investments and life and bills” before coming to that conclusion. Tim Moss, who works for an alcohol distributor, explained, “the economy in and of itself is another big thing that the young people [and] older people are all stressing about.”‘THE LEFT HAS PERFECTED THIS’: CONSERVATIVES TAKE PAGE FROM OBAMA’S PLAYBOOK IN BATTLEGROUND WISCONSIN”I think we’ll be able to at least afford groceries” under Trump, Moss predicted. “Gas prices were a lot better. Food prices were way down,” said Diana Altwies, a forklift operator. “I went to the store the other day, I bought hardly anything, and I came home with maybe two bags of stuff, and it was over $50.”According to Sue Matuszak, who is retired, she could not imagine how families — such as those of her six grown children — manage to raise their own kids in the current economy. “I don’t know how families really do it now,” she said. Matuszak’s husband, also retired, stressed that Trump is “a businessman,” and “that’s what we need in our government.”‘DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS’: WISCONSINITES TALK HARRIS’ MIDWESTERN RUNNING MATE, TIM WALZAltwies described Trump, who she supported in 2016 and 2020, remarking, “he’s got a little bit of a loud mouth on him, but he tells it like it is.”For her, this demonstrates that Trump is fearless when it comes to speaking his mind and shows he is not afraid to stand up to anyone. “Kamala, she just seems all giggly and hasn’t really done anything they claim they have,” she said.  Some of the other issues motivating these voters to support Trump again are safety, foreign policy, immigration and abortion. FOR WISCONSIN DEMS, A 2024 WIN IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATE IS YEARS IN THE MAKING”I don’t like to see the babies that are destroyed every year,” Matuszak said, explaining that abortion was an important issue for her. Kaufman, on the other hand, explained, “I truly believe it should be with the woman and letting her figure out what she needs to do. It’s a hard decision no matter what.”Despite advertising and messaging from Democrats claiming Trump would institute a federal ban on abortion, Kaufman said she does not believe such claims. Matuszak also pointed to immigration, telling Fox News Digital, “I am so disappointed about the open borders that we have.””I think if that doesn’t get stopped, I think our country is really going to go down,” she added. Nobody who spoke with Fox News Digital in Waukesha County said they supported the Harris-Walz ticket.SEE IT: WISCONSIN DAIRY FARMER SAYS ‘NO QUESTION’ TRUMP ADMIN WAS ‘MUCH BETTER’ THAN BIDEN-HARRISThe voters described seeing Trump and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, signs frequently throughout Waukesha County, which they said was on par with both 2016 and 2020. They also said they have seen very few signs promoting Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn. Fox News Digital observed a plethora of signs in general in the county, with the majority appearing to be in support of Trump-Vance and other Republicans. However, in the downtown area of the city of Waukesha, a college town, there were clusters of Harris-Walz signs. Waukesha County was ranked as one of the top 15 battleground counties to watch across the country, per U.S. News and World Report. The Milwaukee suburban county has developed this reputation given its shift over the last decade. While Republicans have an edge throughout the area, their lead has shrunk in the county during the Trump-era. Waukesha County’s movement politically has followed a trend away from Republicans that other affluent suburbs have also experienced. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.

One “Jeopardy!” answer sparked a heated debate between game show fans. During a recent episode of the beloved game show, a ruling had viewers riled up over the mispronunciation of an answer. Mark Fitzpatrick, a five-day “Jeopardy!” champion, chose the $800 clue from the category, “Just Doin’ My Job.”‘JEOPARDY!’ REFERENCES MAYIM BIALIK IN CLUE 1 YEAR AFTER SHE WAS FIREDThe prompt read, “Knows the proper use of propofol; can count to 16 (letters in the job); can tell people to count backward from 100.”While “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings was looking for the correct answer to, “anesthesiologist,” contestant Eamonn Campbell appeared to flub the pronunciation of the word. “Anateesiologist?” Campbell answered. Although Jennings gave the contestant another chance, he continued to stumble on the correct pronunciation of the word. “Anathesiologist?” he mispronounced again. Another “Jeopardy!” contestant, Dot White, buzzed in with the correct pronunciation of the word and answered, “”What is an anesthesiologist?”. Jennings then accepted the correct answer. Fans were quick to react to the questionable ruling of the challenging prompt. “Jeopardy and ken Jennings blows it again … screwing Eamonn out of his answer ‘anesthesiologist’ ….unbelievable!!” one comment read.Another fan wrote, “Are you frikin kidding me?!!! Eamonn Campbell doesn’t have a lisp… He just can’t seem to pronounce ‘anesthesiologist.’ Or maybe he just doesn’t know the word…”Other viewers disagreed with the outraged fans and argued pronunciation is very important.”Not really. You could definitely discern his lack of the 1st ‘s’ in his pronunciation. He said ‘ana-theeze-iologist’ as opposed to ‘ana-steeze-iologist.’ Twice! @KenJennings def made the right call.”A “Jeopardy!” fan simply reacted and wrote, “Pronunciation matters.”This was not the first time viewers slammed a controversial ruling on the game show. Earlier this year, a ruling on an episode of “Jeopardy!” had fans up in arms.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Former President Donald Trump cut a Pennsylvania town hall short on Monday, stopping questions from the audience after two medical emergencies unfolded in the crowd. 

The campaign town hall at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds in Oaks, Pennsylvania, first came to a halt when South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, the event’s host, was discussing Vice President Kamala Harris’ appearance on “The View” and slamming the Democratic nominee’s support of President Biden’s energy policies. “Hold it. A doctor, please,” Trump interjected, noticing a commotion in the crowd. “Doctor, thank you very much. We have incredible people. They come here hours before, and it’s a little hot.””They’re there with us all the way. We got to respect them,” Trump continued, referencing his supporters. “And you take your time, doctor. Take your time. Thank you very much. We always have great doctors in the audience. We’ve never had too much of a problem. Look at the quality of care we have. It’s incredible when you think that these people, first responders, our first responders are amazing.” TRUMP RESOUNDINGLY ENDORSES TEXAS SEN. TED CRUZ AHEAD OF TUESDAY NIGHT SENATE DEBATEThe incident was not captured on camera, though the New York Post reported that “a heavyset middle-aged man was wheeled out on a stretcher with his shirt cut open.” “Let’s wait till they take care of this incredible person who I guarantee you is a great patriot, I guarantee it,” Trump said. “Everybody in this room is a patriot.” The Republican presidential nominee requested that “Ave Maria” be sounded over the loudspeaker like it had at his recent comeback rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in honor of firefighter Corey Comperatore, the rallygoer killed during the first assassination attempt on Trump’s life on July 13. “We’ll be praying for him,” Noem said of the man wheeled out before taking another audience question. TRUMP CAMPAIGN HINTS AT ELECTION DAY TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS FOR VOTERS IMPACTED BY HURRICANES HELENE, MILTONTrump began his response about border security before the crowd yelled again about another medical incident. The former president stood up and looked into the crowd, stating “Take your time, doctor.” “I wish we could open those doors,” Trump said. “For security reasons, they can’t. But you know what I said? Just open them. Because anybody comes through those doors, you know what’s going to happen to them.” “It looks like, sir, she’s on her feet and walking out. Let’s encourage her,” Noem said. “I know it’s really warm in here. Everybody agrees that it’s really warm in here. We’ve got a lot of people who love America. I’m going to ask that if you have a chair, maybe sit so everyone around you can sit and still see the president.” “They’re both okay. Yes, they’re both. They’re both in good shape. And that’s wonderful,” Trump said of the two audience members who needed medical attention.Trump then decided not to take more questions from the crowd, calling on organizers to play music in the venue instead.
