UNITED STATES

Vice President Harris continues to hold a slim lead over former President Trump, even as Trump extends his lead on the top issues for voters, according to a new poll.A Tuesday poll from Reuters/Ipsos found Harris leading Trump in a 45%-42% match-up nationally, well within the margin of error. Meanwhile, Trump sits at 45% support on the economy, compared to Harris’ 40%. Reuters had previously polled just a 3-point lead for Trump on the issue in late November.Harris, however, holds a commanding lead when it comes to healthcare, where she is 14 points ahead of Trump. She also holds a 43%-38% lead on handling political extremism and protecting democracy.The Reuters poll surveyed 938 U.S. adults online, nationwide, including 807 registered voters. Among these, 769 were considered the most likely to turn out on Election Day. The poll closed on Sunday.WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLS IN THE 2024 ELECTION SHOWVoters on both sides of the aisle say they are deeply motivated to head to the polls, according to the survey. Roughly 86% of Democrats and 81% of Republicans said they are “completely certain” that they would cast a ballot in the presidential election.CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE 2024 ELECTIONReuters noted that 74% of the wider electorate said they were certain to vote in the 2020 election, but 78% say the same for the 2024 election.The poll comes as the Harris campaign is sounding the alarm regarding a lack of support among Black male voters.HARRIS UNVEILS NEW AGENDA AS SHE COURTS BLACK MALE VOTERSFormer President Obama, in comments that went viral, admonished Black male voters for a lack of enthusiasm for Harris this weekend. Obama’s comments came as polls indicate Trump is making gains with the demographic, who are traditionally some of the Democratic Party’s most reliable supporters.During a stop at a Black-owned coffee shop and record store in Erie, Pennsylvania, – located in another crucial battleground state – the vice president also showcased her agenda including providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business, championing education, training and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) of a “bleak dunk attempt” after he highlighted a headline about her calling out the Biden administration regarding Israel.”The tragedy in Gaza is 100% on Hamas. Stop using civilians and hospitals as shields, surrender, and release all remaining hostages—and this ends,” Fetterman tweeted when sharing the Ocasio-Cortez-related headline.Fetterman has been outspoken in supporting Israel and condemning Hamas in the wake of the terror group’s heinous Oct. 7, 2023 attack that included rape, murder, and kidnapping.AOC RIPS FETTERMAN FOR COMPARING HOUSE TO ‘JERRY SPRINGER’ SHOW: ‘I STAND UP TO BULLIES’”I dunno man. I care about little kids dying. I care about human rights. I care that billions of US tax dollars’ worth of weapons are carrying out unspeakable atrocities. I care enough for us to do better. Hope this bleak dunk attempt gets you whatever it is you’re going for,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to Fetterman’s post.Earlier this week, the congresswoman had tweeted, “The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals. This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.”SEN. FETTERMAN HITS BACK AT AOC’S SUGGESTION HE’S A BULLY AFTER HOUSE CLASH: ‘THAT’S ABSURD’Marking the grim anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack earlier this month, Fetterman noted in a tweet, “On this traumatic One-Year Anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attacks, I share in the collective sorrow for all innocent lives lost. I will continue to be a voice for our ally, for the release of all remaining hostages, and for peace to return.”Israel launched a war effort in response to the Oct. 7 atrocities last year and Fetterman has been an unflinching supporter of the U.S. ally.FETTERMAN LAUDS ISRAEL FOR LEAVING IRAN ‘EXPOSED AND HUMILIATED’ AFTER STRIKES ON HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH”Immediately after 10/7, I strongly affirmed supporting any assistance—financial, military or intelligence—without conditions, in Israel’s war against terrorists,” the senator tweeted last month.

Angel Reese’s little brother might be a snitch. The Chicago Sky rookie responded to a video of her brother, 21-year-old Maryland men’s basketball player Julian Reese, claiming that she is not a natural left-hander. “We both shoot with our left hand, but she’s really right-handed. She just wanted to shoot like me, so she switched to left-handed randomly,” Julian said in an interview with NBA Future Starts Now. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWhether Reese is a natural left-hander has been a point of discussion for women’s basketball fans dating back to her college career. There is an entire page of TikTok videos, named “Since When Was Angel Reese Left Handed?” dedicated to dissecting this very subject, with many of the posts containing footage of her using both hands on the basketball court. In January 2023, Reese herself admitted that she was actually right-handed in a post on X. Reese made this post before garnering the maelstrom of popularity and controversy that came after her LSU Tigers defeated Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the 2023 NCAA women’s basketball championship game. “I’m really right handed IYKTYK (if you know, you know),” Reese wrote.However, despite this history of right-handedness, Reese suggested her little brother was lying with his claim. INSIDE CAITLIN CLARK AND ANGEL REESE’S IMPACT ON MEN’S BASKETBALL”My baby brother, not you lying saying I switched hands because I wanted to be like you, stop it,” Reese said on X in a reply to the interview. However, Reese generally identifies as ambidextrous. Julian and Angel grew up playing basketball together in Maryland, and both attended the same high school, St. Frances Academy in Baltimore.Julian is a star senior forward for the Maryland Terrapins and averaged 13.7 points and 9.5 rebounds last season.Meanwhile, Angel suffered a season-ending injury, ironically to her left wrist, prior to the end of her first WNBA season. Reese lost out on a chance to hold the record for most rebounds in a single season after breaking the record earlier that season. However, after she went down with the injury, league MVP A’ja Wilson broke Reese’s record and claimed it for herself. Still, it did not stop Reese from getting one vote for WNBA Rookie of the Year, despite being statistically inferior to Clark in every category except rebounds. Getting the one vote denied Clark from becoming the fifth unanimous Rookie of the Year in WNBA history.The injury aslo has not stopped Reese from promoting herself on her podcast, “Unapolagetically Angel.”The podcast has stirred controversy multiple times, including the very first episode when she spoke out against fans of rival player Caitlin Clark, alleging they had sent her death threats and made explicit AI images of her and sent them to her family. In her most recent episode, Reese interviewed the ex-girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce about their past relationship. This interview brought about a flurry of criticism, particularly from fans of Kelce’s new girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

“60 Minutes” is in hot water again. The longtime news program has been plagued by controversy in recent days after it edited an unflattering exchange Vice President Kamala Harris had with veteran correspondent Bill Whitaker, which aired in a preview clip on Sunday’s “Face The Nation” but was changed for Monday’s primetime election special. Harris was mocked by conservatives for offering a lengthy “word salad” when she was asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the U.S. “Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” Harris responded in Sunday’s “Face the Nation” clip. CBS ‘60 MINUTES’ AIRS TWO DIFFERENT ANSWERS FROM VP HARRIS TO THE SAME QUESTIONHowever, a shorter, more focused answer from the vice president was shown to the same question on Monday night.”We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end,” Harris said in the primetime special. It appears the two different responses were part of the same long answer, but CBS has not offered answers for the discrepancy.CBS News is facing mounting pressure to release the transcript of the full Harris interview to account for the discrepancy. Meanwhile, former President Trump has called for the network to lose its broadcasting license, and former CBS staffers are demanding an outside probe to look into the controversy. It’s yet another controversy and accusation of liberal bias the venerable show has taken in recent years.In the final days leading up to the 2020 election, then-President Trump famously sparred with “60 Minutes” veteran Lesley Stahl over the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, which had just been unearthed by The New York Post.Trump insisted at the time that then-candidate Joe Biden was “in the midst of a scandal.” “He’s not,” Stahl gleefully replied. “Of course he is, Lesley,” Trump sternly doubled down. “No, c’mon,” Stahl continued to reject the president’s claim, before lecturing him, “This is ’60 Minutes’ and we can’t put on things that we can’t verify.”CBS News eventually went on and verified the infamous laptop in 2022. At the time, the laptop and its contents were accused of being part of a Russian disinformation campaign in wide swaths of the media, and the New York Post’s story was even blocked from being shared on Twitter.CBS TARRED AND FEATHERED FOR ADMITTING EXISTENCE OF HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP TWO YEARS AFTER NEW YORK POST REPORTIn May 2020, “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley cast significant doubt on the Trump administration’s assertions that the COVID pandemic stemmed from a lab leak in Wuhan, China.At the time, Pelley told viewers “both the White House and the Chinese Communist Party have been less than honest” and instead hyped the credibility of Peter Daszak, president of the group EcoHealth Alliance and one of the most vocal foes of the lab-leak theory. EcoHealth Alliance received government funding from the National Institutes of Health and has had a long working partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which has increasingly been viewed as the possible origin for the disastrous pandemic. Pelley lamented how the Trump administration abruptly ended EcoHealth’s funding because of a “political disinformation campaign targeting China’s Wuhan Institute.” “As the U.S. led the world in illness and death, the White House moved the focus to the Chinese government,” Pelley told viewers as he swiped the Trump administration. “Last Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo attempted to resurrect a debunked theory that the virus was man-made in China … The administration has offered no evidence of an accident or genetic engineering.”CREDIBILITY CRISIS: ‘60 MINUTES’ TRIES TURNING BACK THE CLOCK AFTER DECLARING COVID LAB LEAK THEORY ‘DEBUNKED’The “60 Minutes” correspondent pushed the notion that the virus stemmed from a wet market and turned to another expert who suggested that the virus came naturally from a pangolin. “There is zero evidence that this virus came out of a lab in China,” Daszak insisted. “Does the Wuhan Institute of Virology, to your knowledge, have this virus in its inventory?” Pelley asked. “No,” Daszak answered.”Why do you say so?” Pelley followed. “The closest known relative is one that’s different enough that it is not SARS-CoV 2, so there’s just no evidence that anybody had it in the lab anywhere in the world prior to the outbreak,” Daszak answered.CBS News has said its report was based on the facts known at that time. But fast-forward to March 2021 when Pelley’s colleague Lesley Stahl declared a potential lab-leak a “leading theory” to the pandemic’s origin.Notably, Pelley was tapped to interview Trump for the “60 Minutes” election special before the former president decided to skip the sit-down entirely. In April 2021, “60 Minutes” pushed the false narrative that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was engulfed in a “pay for play” scheme involving COVID vaccines.A preview clip released ahead of the full report’s airing showed “60 Minutes” correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi confronting the governor at a press conference over allegations that he rewarded Publix, a southern supermarket chain with more than 850 Florida locations, with COVID vaccines after the company made a sizable donation to his PAC. “Publix, as you know, donated $100,000 to your campaign,” Alfonsi began in the clip. “And then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in Palm Beach –“”First, of all what you’re saying is wrong,” DeSantis interrupted. “How is that not pay for play?” Alfonsi then asked. “That’s a fake narrative,” DeSantis replied. “I met with the county mayor, I met with the administrator, I met with all the folks at Palm Beach County and I said, ‘Here’s some of the options: We can do more drive-thru sites, we can give more to hospitals, we can do the Publix.’ And they said, ‘We think that would be the easiest thing for our residents.”CBS’ ‘60 MINUTES’ ACCUSED OF EDITING EXCHANGE BETWEEN DESANTIS, REPORTER PUSHING ‘PAY FOR PLAY’ NARRATIVEAlfonsi then narrated that Palm Beach County Commissioner Melissa McKinlay claimed DeSantis “never met with her about the Publix deal.””The criticism here is that is pay for play, Governor,” Alfonsi told DeSantis.”And it’s wrong, it’s wrong,” the governor shot back. “It’s a fake narrative. I just disabused you of the narrative. And you don’t care about the facts. Because, obviously, I laid it out for you in a way that is irrefutable.”However, the CBS program drastically edited the exchange by cutting out several minutes of the governor’s comments to Alfonsi which explained that CVS and Walgreens had the vaccine first during its rollout at senior communities and long-term care facilities, while Publix was the first chain to volunteer to roll out the vaccine in its stores. DeSantis also told Alfonsi that CVS and Walgreens would also get the vaccine when their mission of vaccinating Florida’s seniors was completed. Despite the backlash the “60 Minutes” preview clip sparked on social media, the exchange remained edited during that Sunday’s broadcast, a stark departure from the edit that was made between the preview clip of the Harris interview versus what aired in primetime. Democratic state officials, conservative pundits, Publix, and DeSantis himself all rejected the story pushed by “60 Minutes.”A CBS spokesperson initially told Fox News Digital about the edited exchange: “As we always do for clarity, 60 MINUTES used the portion of the Governor’s over 2-minute response that directly addressed the question from the correspondent.” CBS News repeatedly defended its reporting while never addressing the criticisms over its “pay-for-play” push. CBS didn’t respond to a request for comment.
