Trump endorsement streak gets unusual boost with South Carolina GOP governor nomination
COLUMBIA, S.C. - He wasn't on the ballot, but President Donald Trump was a winner in South Carolina's Republican gubernatorial runoff.
The candidate Trump endorsed, state Attorney General Alan Wilson, defeated Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette to capture the GOP nomination in the race to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
But there was no way Trump could lose in the South Carolina runoff, which was shaping up to be the latest test of Trump's immense grip over the GOP and the power of his endorsements in Republican nominating contests.
That's because Trump endorsed both candidates.
DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT DRAMA: TRUMP HEDGES HIS BET IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Trump endorsed Evette late last month, a week and a half before the gubernatorial primary.
Evette finished on top of a crowded field of contenders in the primary election, with Wilson second. The field also included Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, and multimillionaire businessman Rom Reddy. Since no candidate won a majority of the vote, as the top two finishers, Evette and Wilson advanced to Tuesday's runoff.
Mace and Norman endorsed Wilson after failing to advance to the runoff. And Wilson was also backed a week ago by Sen. Ted Cruz, the conservative firebrand from Texas.
Trump, meanwhile, made an 11th-hour endorsement on Friday, backing Wilson in addition to his earlier endorsement of Evette, in what appeared to be a move by the president to hedge his bet.
Mace, reacting to Trump's endorsement of both Evette and Wilson, wrote on social media, "LMAO," which is a common abbreviation for the phrase "laughing my a-- off."
The runoff between Evette and Wilson became combustible, and in last week's final debate, both candidates launched personal attacks and accused each other of lying and misrepresenting their records.
Wilson worked to contrast his tenure as attorney general with what he argued is Evette’s largely ceremonial role as lieutenant governor. And he spotlighted his experience as a combat veteran, prosecutor, and the state’s top law enforcement official.
Evette, who was backed by McMaster in February, showcased herself as an outsider and a Trump-endorsed businesswoman, while casting Wilson as a career politician.
Evette showcased herself as an outsider and a Trump-endorsed businesswoman, while casting Wilson as a career politician.
"The president had a lot of confidence in me when it was a crowded field, and I won it for him on June 9. I'm going to win it for him again on June 23," Evette told Fox News Digital on the eve of the runoff. "I have always been very loyal to the president. I've traveled wherever he's asked me to help stump for him, fundraise for him."
DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB
Wilson, campaigning with Cruz on the eve of the runoff, pointed to Trump and said in a Fox News Digital interview, "I've been fighting and defending his agenda for the better part of a decade, and to have the president reflect that understanding in his endorsement a few days ago means so much to me."
Cruz, who endorsed Wilson a week ahead of Trump's backing, told Fox News Digital, "I was very glad to see the president endorsing Alan Wilson... My philosophy, as you know, is that I support the strongest conservative who can win, and I think in the governor's race that's Alan Wilson."
It's been 28 years since a Democrat won a gubernatorial election in South Carolina, and Wilson will now be considered the clear favorite in the general election against Democratic nominee Jermaine Johnson, a state representative.
The brute force of the president's endorsement power has been on display in GOP primaries over the past two months, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas that grabbed plenty of national attention.
But Trump's endorsement streak in statewide and congressional Republican primaries was snapped three weeks ago when his last-minute endorsement of Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa in the race to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds wasn't enough to propel the three-term congressman to victory.
Feenstra was narrowly edged by Zach Lahn, a businessman, farmer and former political strategist who was backed by the political wings of MAHA — the acronym for the Make America Healthy Again movement aligned with Trump Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Turning Point USA, the powerful conservative organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
Trump rebounded two weeks ago, as Evette finished first in the GOP gubernatorial primary and longtime Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina won a majority of the vote in the Republican Senate primary, and avoided a runoff.
Graham, who was endorsed by Trump, was facing primary challenges from five candidates, including conservative businessman Mark Lynch, who took aim at the senator over his support for the war in Iran. Lynch was backed by some MAGA leaders who have been critical of the president.
Last week Trump-backed candidates won two of the three top races in Georgia and Alabama, with the one setback coming against a billionaire businessman who shelled out over $100 million of his own money to boost his campaign.
Rep. Barry Moore, a House Freedom Caucus member and longtime Trump supporter who was endorsed by the president, comfortably defeated rival Jared Hudson, a former Navy SEAL sniper who was supported by some top names on the right, in solidly red Alabama's GOP Senate runoff.
In battleground Georgia's Republican Senate runoff, an 11th-hour endorsement by Trump this past weekend helped boost Rep. Mike Collins, a MAGA champion, to victory over former college football coach Derek Dooley, who was backed by popular conservative Gov. Brian Kemp.
Collins will face Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in the general election in a race that's among a handful that will likely decide if the GOP holds its slim majority in the chamber in the midterms.
Jones regularly showcased his Trump endorsement, but Jackson, who launched his bid in February long after the president had endorsed Jones, repeatedly said that Trump had inspired him to run.
But in Georgia's GOP gubernatorial runoff, the candidate Trump backed, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who was also endorsed by Kemp this past weekend, was defeated by Rick Jackson, who ran as an outsider.
A Trump political operative, pointing to Tuesday's loss by Trump-backed Jones, noted that "Rick Jackson set a record for spending in a statewide Republican primary. He spent Tom Steyer level money in a state a fraction of the size of California. That's going to have an impact."
And the operative, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, also emphasized that "Rick bearhugged Trump. All of his ads and material was about how he's going to be Trump's favorite governor. So the race was not really a referendum on Trump."

Trump scores major win as Congress passes housing crackdown on Wall Street investors
President Donald Trump scored a major legislative win after Congress cleared a sweeping housing bill aimed at expanding the nation’s supply of homes and lowering costs.
House lawmakers voted 358-32 in an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote Tuesday to approve the Senate-passed measure with opposition coming solely from Republicans. Every Democrat present voted for the package.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, one of the most significant housing bills approved by Congress in decades, largely incorporates Trump's proposal to ban large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes — a measure designed to help individual buyers compete with private equity firms.
It would also streamline federal environmental reviews for housing, loosen regulations around the construction of factory-built homes, and incentivize local governments to reform their zoning laws to allow for more homebuilding, among its more than 45 provisions.
ONE IN THREE ADULTS UNDER 35 LIVES WITH PARENTS AS HOUSING COSTS SOAR, DATA SHOWS
Other sections would allocate federal grants to municipalities with a track record of constructing new homes and create a pilot program to help communities redevelop vacant properties.
"The package focuses on a simple idea of building more homes, which means lower costs and more expanded opportunities for all Americans," Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., said Tuesday.
The president is expected to promptly sign the measure into law as soon as Wednesday.
Tuesday's vote comes as home prices have surged in recent years, with the median nationwide price tag topping $400,000 and the median asking rent climbing above $1,760, representing an increase of 34.4% and 17.9%, respectively, since 2019, according to analysis from Realtor.com.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., brought the measure to the floor under a fast-track procedure known as suspension of the rules that required a two-thirds majority to secure passage.
In the end, more Democrats supported the legislation than Republicans.
I TRIED FOR YEARS TO BUY A HOME. WALL STREET ALWAYS BEAT ME — TRUMP MADE THE RIGHT CALL
Some of the more than two dozen conservatives voted against the housing bill in protest of the SAVE America Act not being attached to the package. That legislation — mandating voter identification requirements, cracking down on mail-in voting and barring men from women’s sports, among other provisions — has failed to clear the Senate’s legislative filibuster and has not received a vote in the House.
"The Senate cannot keep obstructing President Trump’s agenda while ignoring election integrity," Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., wrote on social media. "I call on my fellow colleagues to stand firm and honor their pledge."
The group of conservatives has also advocated for the SAVE America Act to be paired with the reauthorization of a critical surveillance authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, though that is unlikely to materialize amid intraparty disagreement.
Some Republicans also opposed the Trump-backed measure, citing the inclusion of provisions offered by progressive Democrats.
"The Housing bill is full of big government garbage & spending," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote on social media.
The housing bill's package comes after the House and Senate exhausted months ironing out disagreements about how to implement restrictions on private equity investors and a temporary ban on central bank digital currencies (CBDC) — an unrelated proposal sought by GOP privacy hawks.
Both chambers ultimately agreed to a provision that would restrict large investors owning more than 350 single-family homes from purchasing additional ones, while creating exceptions for the construction of rental properties. However, investors that exceed the new threshold would not be required to sell existing holdings.
Critics have argued that large investors are not the source of supply constraints, with those firms owning less than 1% of the nation’s housing stock, according to Parcl Labs.
Their ownership of single-family rental properties is slightly higher, ranging from 1% to 3%, with the presence of large investors highly concentrated in certain rental markets, including Jacksonville, Fla., (22%) and Phoenix (13%), according to a March Government Accountability Office report.
The housing bill’s passage comes as Republicans are facing electoral headwinds from voters who are souring on the current state of the economy and cost of living. But the soon-to-be law could give Republicans a concrete example taken to address housing affordability — a key issue for voters heading into November’s midterm elections.
Just 31% of voters approve of Trump's handling of the economy, according to a Fox News poll released last week. That was a 2-point improvement after the measure hit an all-time low of 29% in May.
Dana White explains why UFC doesn’t have Pride Night amid Giants Bible verse controversy
Dana White has never been much interested in corporate virtue-signaling.
White, the president and CEO of UFC, joined "Tomi Lahren Is Fearless" and was asked why the promotion doesn’t host a Pride Night. The question came as Pride-themed events are once again causing controversy in sports, most recently with the San Francisco Giants.

"I don’t give a s---. I don’t care what you are or who you are or what you do. We don’t talk about that or any of that stuff," White told Lahren. "I’m just not into it."
White’s argument is not that gay fighters, fans or employees are unwelcome in the UFC. It is that the UFC doesn’t need a theme night, a special logo or a public-relations campaign to prove it treats people with respect.
And it’s not difficult to understand why White wants no part of that game.
Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker recently wrote Bible verse references on rainbow-logo Pride Night caps during San Francisco’s June 12 game. Roupp wrote "Gen 9:12-16," a reference to the biblical passage describing the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant after the flood. Reliever Sam Hentges wore the team’s standard cap instead of the Pride-themed version.
MLB responded by issuing what Commissioner Rob Manfred later described as "a routine oral warning" because league rules prohibit players from writing or displaying personal messages on uniforms or equipment. But Manfred later told Sen. Josh Hawley that the players wouldn’t be fined or disciplined, and said the warning was about the league’s uniform policy, not the religious content of the Bible verses. He also acknowledged MLB issued the warning before learning the Giants hadn’t clearly told players they could wear regular caps instead.
That is exactly the kind of mess White appears uninterested in creating inside the UFC.
Manfred also said the purpose of the rule is to prevent players from becoming messengers for political or social issues while in uniform.
Which is interesting, because that’s basically White’s point.
For the UFC president, the issue is bigger than Pride Night. It’s the idea that a sports organization should push athletes, employees or fans into an approved public message, then punish or shame anyone who handles that message differently.
His answer to Lahren was rooted in a broader free-speech philosophy. White said he doesn’t want the UFC forcing fighters to say the right thing, and he doesn’t want to start punishing people every time someone says the wrong thing.
That doesn’t mean he enjoys everything that comes out of the fighters' mouths.
White pointed to Josh Hokit, who drew backlash after saying, "Michelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?" during a post-fight interview at UFC Freedom 250.
"You think I’m happy about what Josh Hokit said?" White said. "I’m trying to unify the country and he goes out and says something absolutely stupid like he did that night, but I’m a believer of free speech too."
That’s what makes Hokit relevant to the Pride Night discussion. White isn’t arguing that every controversial comment is smart, helpful or worth defending on the merits. He’s arguing that the UFC shouldn’t become a speech-policing operation.
White can believe Hokit said something stupid and still believe fighters should be allowed to speak for themselves. That same logic explains why he doesn’t want the UFC staging theme nights that inevitably become public loyalty tests.
"I let everybody be themselves, do their thing," White said. "There’s a lot of things that some of my guys say that I don’t love."
That same idea applies to Pride Night.
White’s position isn’t that people should be treated poorly. It’s that treating people well doesn’t require the UFC to stage a public campaign proving it.
"I stay in my lane, man," White said. "Whatever these other guys are doing, good luck to them. I do my own thing. We don’t just go out and beat the drum."
Diamondbacks pitcher Ryan Thompson made a similar point while defending the Giants players. Thompson said Roupp writing a Bible verse on his cap didn’t mean he was "anti" anyone, but rather that he was expressing what the rainbow means to him as a Christian.
That's the problem with these corporate sports campaigns.
The message is supposed to be inclusion. But the second a Christian athlete expresses his own view, or declines to participate in the approved message, the inclusion suddenly gets very narrow.
White wants the UFC out of that business entirely. And he doesn’t believe every good deed needs to become a public-relations event.
"First of all, we donate lots of money to lots of different charities and I do personally too," White said. "You know what you’ll never see me doing, standing out in the middle of somewhere with a big check with a bunch of little kids standing around."
White said the motivation matters more than the photo op.
"We do it because we should. We do it because we can," he said. "We don’t do it for attention."
Then he brought the answer back to the actual Pride Night question.
"When it comes to certain groups of people, whether it’s the gay or lesbian community, whether it’s the African American community, we do what we should do, we do the right thing," White said. "As long as you’re doing the right thing, you don’t have to run around and prove to everybody that you’re doing the right thing."
That won’t satisfy the people who believe every sports organization needs to publicly celebrate all the approved causes. But White’s position is consistent.
Do the right thing.
Treat people right.
Why is that so hard for so many people to understand?
Biden judge overruled on key Trump immigration policy
The Trump administration scored a major immigration win Monday after a federal appeals court revived its nationwide expedited removal policy, clearing the way for the Department of Homeland Security to resume fast-track deportations of eligible illegal immigrants.
The ruling allows federal immigration authorities to quickly remove certain migrants found anywhere in the country if they were not lawfully admitted or paroled into the U.S. and cannot show they have continuously lived in the country for at least two years.
In a 2-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated a lower court order that had blocked the policy, concluding that challengers were unlikely to succeed on their claims that the expansion violates constitutional due process protections.
"DHS thereby exercised its discretion to apply its expedited-removal authority to the maximum extent allowed by law," Judge Justin Walker wrote for the court.
DHS praised the ruling.
"For years, DHS has arbitrarily limited expedited removal to 14 days even though it applies to illegal aliens who entered the country illegally within the last two years," DHS General Counsel James Percival said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the D.C. Circuit vindicated our decision to apply the law as written. It's not too late to take a $2,600 check and a free flight home!"
The ruling reverses a nationwide stay issued by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, who found the policy created a significant risk that individuals could be wrongly deported before having a meaningful opportunity to prove they were exempt from expedited removal.
The Trump administration first expanded expedited removal nationwide during Trump's first term in 2019. The Biden administration later rescinded the policy before DHS reinstated it shortly after Trump returned to office in January 2025.
The majority concluded that the Constitution requires the government to notify illegal immigrants when they are facing deportation and give them an opportunity to respond, but does not require immigration officials to explain every potential legal defense that could prevent their removal.
APPEALS COURT GRANTS TRUMP SHORT-TERM WIN OVER BOASBERG IN IMMIGRATION RULING
"The constitutional requirement is notice of the action the government is taking and the grounds for it, plus an opportunity to respond," Walker wrote. "It is not a requirement that the government explain how the individual might prevail."
The court rejected arguments that DHS must proactively inform individuals they can avoid expedited removal by proving they have continuously lived in the United States for at least two years.
"If due process requires the government to inform individuals of the two-year continuous-presence rule, it presumably also requires informing them of every other basis for contesting expedited removal," Walker wrote. "Make the Road offers no limiting principle and identifies no authority for so expansive a requirement."
The majority also dismissed claims that examples of wrongful deportations demonstrated the policy itself was unconstitutional.
"To be sure, the record contains evidence that some aliens have been erroneously subjected to expedited removal despite having been present for more than two years," the opinion stated. "If so, that's illegal. But the cause there would be individual officers' failure to follow the law — not defects in the written directives under review."
Judge Robert Wilkins dissented, arguing that DHS's procedures do not give migrants a meaningful chance to prove they have lived in the United States for at least two years and therefore may not qualify for expedited removal.
"DHS is using procedures that do not allow a meaningful opportunity for noncitizens to demonstrate that they have been continuously present in the United States for two years," Wilkins wrote.
Oprah Winfrey admits she begged talk show audience to bury footage of Whitney Houston onstage fall
Oprah Winfrey is shedding new light on Whitney Houston's troubled final years, revealing that the late singer fell off the stage while performing during a 2009 taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
During a recent appearance at Cannes Lions, where she was honored with the LionHeart Award, the 72-year-old former talk show host spoke out about the previously undisclosed incident, which she said occurred after Houston relapsed amid her longtime battle with drug addiction.
"This was an amazing thing that happened. I had such trust from the 'Oprah Show' audience that Whitney did, I think, what was her last show with us. She had gone back on drugs," Winfrey said in a clip shared on social media by Variety.
"The first interview I did with her when we'd gone behind stage and I asked about her intentions, she was clean," the TV icon continued. "But the day she came to my show to perform in front of the audience, she was not, and she fell off of the stage."
Winfrey said she took immediate steps to prevent the incident from becoming public, fearing that exposure of Houston's fall would further damage the singer at a vulnerable point in her life.
"I knew that if that story got out … she would be destroyed by that," Winfrey said. "And so even though the audience was there, and the audience had cameras, I begged them not to put those pictures out because it would ruin her life, and they did not."
"That would not happen today, I can tell you that," she added.
Houston had appeared on the show as part of her highly publicized 2009 comeback following years out of the spotlight and intense public scrutiny over her personal life.
At the time, Houston was promoting "I Look to You," her first studio album in seven years following 2002's "Just Whitney." During her appearance, she performed one of the songs from the album, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." Winfrey said the fall occurred during that performance.

During her interview with Winfrey, Houston discussed her marriage to Bobby Brown, fame and the challenges of living in the public eye.
The six-time Grammy Award winner also opened up about her addiction struggles, admitting to heavy drug use during parts of her career and speaking about her efforts to rebuild her life.

The highly anticipated two-part Oprah special marked Houston's first major television interview in years.
Looking back on her conversation with Houston, Winfrey told the audience at Cannes Lions that it was "one of the most powerful interviews."
"I Look to You" was released in August 2009 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It would ultimately become the last studio album released during Houston's lifetime.
Houston died in February 2012 at age 48. Her cause of death was ruled an accidental drowning, with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.
NPS investigates after 23-year-old reportedly swept over notorious Yosemite waterfall
The National Park Service (NPS) is investigating an incident at Yosemite National Park after receiving reports that an individual suffered what appeared to be a major fall Saturday.
Multiple people who claimed to have witnessed the incident reported online that the fall may have been fatal.
Officials identified the victim as a 23-year-old male at Nevada Fall, a notoriously dangerous and slippery area marked by a steep drop and powerful waterfall.
"The National Park Service is investigating an incident involving a 23-year-old male at Nevada Fall in Yosemite National Park on June 20, 2026," NPS told Fox News Digital in a statement on Monday.
RISING CLIMBING STAR PLUNGES TO DEATH FROM YOSEMITE'S EL CAPITAN MID-LIVESTREAM
"Park dispatch received reports that an individual had gone over the fall, and National Park Service rangers and Yosemite Search and Rescue personnel responded."
Search and recovery operations were conducted in the area below the fall, according to officials.
The incident remains under investigation, NPS added.
The agency released the statement after multiple people reported on social media that they witnessed the incident, with one Reddit user claiming they were in the area when they heard people screaming.
"There were a bunch of friends that were dragged by the current in the top of Nevada’s fall today," the user wrote. "The girl was saved but another person with her went with the current to the fall."
The victim reportedly fell after attempting to save the woman near the waterfall.
"A person nearby handed the girl a branch and she was rescued but the other person couldn’t attach to anything and went with the current to the fall," the user added. "That was horrifying to see… I was literally shaking for about 1hour… and it was so sad to see the girl rescued and her friends crying the whole time."
According to the witness, a helicopter arrived roughly one hour after the incident appearing to search the area, followed by rescue hikers arriving with equipment.
"The helicopter came and was searching for a while but we didn’t see it doing an action.. later on we saw the rescuers hiking to the Nevada falls with some materials," the user said.
Nevada Fall is known for its steep, slippery and dangerous conditions, featuring a powerful waterfall and fast-moving currents along a roughly 600-foot descent.
"You just don’t realize how slippery that granite can be and how strong the current is," another Reddit user wrote. "And there’s nothing to hold on to on the way down towards the falls."
Another individual added that a fall from the area would likely be fatal.
"That’s not something that anyone can survive, even if they had a life jacket and helmet on at the time," the individual wrote.
"I don’t think I’ll ever hang out up there again in May, June, or July. There is just too many people and the water is way too dangerous. As a former lifeguard, it’s too stressful seeing all the goofballs messing around on slick rocks and massive water flows."
Army sergeant sentenced after shooting 5 soldiers and his male fiancé at Fort Stewart
The U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) announced that an Army sergeant who opened fire on his own unit and his male fiancé at Fort Stewart in Georgia last summer has been sentenced to six consecutive life sentences with the possibility of parole.
Sgt. Quornelius S. Radford, 29, was convicted by a military judge of attempting to murder five soldiers and his fiancé during an Aug. 6 shooting rampage.
In addition to his life sentences, Radford will forfeit all pay and allowances, be reduced in rank to E-1, and receive a dishonorable discharge from the Army, according to a statement from OSTC. He will serve his confinement at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
SHOOTING AT GEORGIA'S FORT STEWART INJURES 5 SOLDIERS; SUSPECT IN CUSTODY
Maj. Matthew Fields, a prosecutor with the OSTC, said the life sentence "reflects the profound betrayal at the heart of this case," noting that soldiers are trained to face danger from the enemy, not from those standing next to them in formation.
"Sgt. Radford turned his weapon on his own unit, shooting fellow Soldiers, including members of his leadership, shattering the trust that is essential to every military organization," Fields said.
Army CID special agent in charge Ryan O’Connor added the conviction confirms the branch’s "commitment to the safety and security of our service members and military communities."
WIFE CONVICTED OF MURDERING ARMY SOLDIER HUSBAND AT HOME ON MILITARY BASE
Fox News Digital previously reported that Radford, an automated logistics sergeant from Jacksonville, Florida, who joined the Army in 2018, had no known prior disciplinary issues within his chain of command — though local court records revealed a concealed DUI arrest from May 2025.
The shooting spree began after Radford left his home following an argument with his male fiancé.
Fearing that Radford was suicidal, his fiancé followed him to the Georgia military installation. While attempting to calm him down in the parking lot of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team area, Radford pulled out a loaded personal firearm and shot him.

Radford then proceeded inside the unit's offices, where he shot four soldiers and attempted to shoot a fifth, but missed.
Fellow soldiers tackled and subdued Radford, holding him down until law enforcement arrived.
At the time of the attack, Brig. Gen. John Lubas said the intervening soldiers "without a doubt, prevented further casualties."
Soldiers in the unit immediately provided first aid to the wounded until EMS arrived.
All six victims survived the attack, but they testified during the trial that they suffered devastating trauma.
Every victim told the military judge that Radford deserved the maximum sentence.
Carnival Cruise passengers banned for ending trip to the Bahamas with a morning brawl
Perhaps the disappointment of going an entire Carnival Cruise without a brawl got to them. Maybe it was frayed nerves following a trip to the Bahamas. Whatever the reason, more than a dozen passengers got involved in a wild fight while waiting in the customs line at Port Miami.
The chaos broke out while you were arriving at the office at around 8 a.m. on Monday morning. The Carnival Conquest had docked, passengers had gotten off the cruise ship and an argument apparently between two women set it off.

The Daily Mail reports that a woman dressed in a black strapless dress ducked under a line divider and started throwing punches at a woman in her pajamas. If that doesn’t set the scene, nothing will.
A third woman jumped in, pulled some hair, then all hell broke loose. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers put an end to the madness, or as some might refer to it, the perfect end to their Carnival Cruise experience.
The Daily Mail spoke to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and Carnival Cruise Lines about the brawl. It turns out that nobody was arrested because all involved refused to press charges.
The sheriff’s office also told the outlet that the reason for the disagreement, between what they say was two families, isn’t known. While they avoided taking a trip to jail, 16 people didn’t avoid making the cruise line’s "Do Not Sail List," according to a spokesperson.

"The incident occurred in the debarkation area under the authority of US Customs and Border Patrol [sic]," the company told the outlet.
"We are appreciative of law enforcement’s swift response and handling of the matter. We do not tolerate such behavior."
I don't know about you, but man do I miss going on a cruise. I haven’t been in more than a decade. There's something about buffets, the open sea and the potential for an incredible amount of chaos that I kind of miss.
It's like a trip to Walmart, but on steroids and with excursions.
Disney scare unfolds after teen exits log ride moments before 50-foot plunge
A 13-year-old Disneyland guest was medically evaluated after exiting a ride vehicle and sliding down the final 50-foot plunge of Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
The incident occurred on Sunday on Tiana's Bayou Adventure, one of Disneyland’s log flume rides, according to a Disneyland spokesperson.
The boy got out of the log ride vehicle before the attraction's final descent. A cast member immediately stopped the ride, and the teen was later taken to a local hospital for evaluation, the spokesperson said.

One Reddit user who was riding the attraction at the time claimed that several passengers saw the boy fall moments before the ride came to a stop.
"He attempted to exit the ride vehicle at the top of the final drop," another user wrote. "The ride stop mechanism failed to engage or was already past the threshold for the vehicle to enter free fall."
Another commenter said Disneyland security and medical personnel quickly responded to the scene.
"Luck was on his side," another user wrote.

The attraction opened in 2024, replacing Splash Mountain, and is inspired by Disney's animated film "The Princess and the Frog."
Fox News Digital previously reported on another amusement ride accident that left two girls hospitalized after they fell from a Ferris wheel during a harvest festival in Louisiana.
Authorities said the girls fell an estimated 15 to 20 feet when a Ferris wheel malfunctioned during the annual event in New Roads, Louisiana, in November 2025.
First responders treated the victims at the scene before they were airlifted with moderate to severe injuries to a children's hospital in Baton Rouge. One of the girls was later released, while the other remained hospitalized.

Carville warns Dems need 'somebody that can win this god--- thing' when asked if AOC is viable for 2028
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt offered their takes on why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will not be a viable contender for the 2028 election.
While Hunt and Carville are both staunch Democrats, they have warned time and time again that the party needs to shift away from far-left policies and social agendas if it wants to win elections.
When one listener noted increasing talk of Ocasio-Cortez’s prospects as a 2028 contender, asking if America is ready for a female president, Hunt offered a 2-pronged answer.
"I don't think AOC will be the nominee or the next president. I think she is a formidable communicator and figure. The Democratic Party is not a left-wing party," he first answered. "Republicans love to paint Mamdani and look at others, and they'll pick the new Washington mayor as a socialist, but the Democratic Party is a mainstream progressive party and AOC will be a force, but she's not going to be that kind of a force."
WATCH: AOC LEAVES DOOR OPEN TO 2028 WHITE HOUSE BID: 'MAYBE, MAYBE NOT'
As for whether a woman can win, he argued this is entirely possible, but as with a candidate of any identity, he said quality is what counts.
"The country is ready for a female president if we put up a good candidate. We have not put up a good female candidate," he said. "And I don't know that that'll be the case in 2028 or '32."
As with other identities, such as Black, Jewish, or gay contenders, they can win "in state houses and I think with the right candidate, they do it in the national level, too."
"Well, also Hillary lost because of a distributional fluke," Carville replied. "She carried the popular vote relatively easily, and she had bad distribution, bad turnout. Harris did not lose because she was a female. She did not lose because she was a female, a non-White female."
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGISTS SAY 2028 CANDIDATE 'HAS TO BE A WHITE GUY': REPORT
The reason Harris lost, Carville argued, was because she was seen as a continuation of the status quo of the Biden era, and the American people were desperate for change.

I think that the lust for winning is just get somebody that can win this god--- thing, and we'll worry about everything else after."
