Steve Sarkisian has already started his campaign for Texas Longhorns with ridiculous 'big game' comments
When SEC programs hire head coaches, a key part of their interview process must be testing their ability to do marketing and promotion.
Few, if any, coaches excel at marketing, like LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin, who has worked tirelessly to convince the broader college football public that losing games should not be punished because of SEC stadiums. Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea campaigned in 2025 by telling fans, voters and media that SEC teams should be given preferential treatment over all other conferences if they have the same records.
Then there's Steve Sarkisian.
SUDDENLY, STEVE SARKISIAN IS SINGING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE ABOUT PLAYING OHIO STATE
The Texas Longhorns head coach said in 2025 that excluding his 9-3 team from the College Football Playoff would be a "disservice to the sport." A disservice! College football would forever be lesser if a 9-3 Texas team was not included, despite several awful performances against a bad Florida team, a bad Mississippi State team, a bad Kentucky team, and getting blown out by Georgia.
Sark complained about the result of the 2025 matchup between the Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes hurt his team's resume, saying that even in a 14-7 loss, Texas shouldn't be punished for scheduling a tough opponent. There's some truth to that, sure, but after their miraculous comeback in this year's game, he had a totally different perspective.
"We could be like other teams and play Jones Junior High and win 66-0," he said to reporters after beating OSU. "I don’t know what that does for us. Tonight we found out that we can (win big games)."
When they lose, the result shouldn't matter. When they win, it's a huge boost to their resume compared to teams that played lesser opponents. Shocking.
Well, Sark is back, and this time, the marketing effort is to convince those watching that the Longhorns are actually humble little "nobody believes in us" underdogs. Against Missouri.
"I'm really proud of our football team overall because our guys, they're not naive to noise. As much as I would love to say, tune it all out — and we try our best to do that — I could hear the talk getting on the plane yesterday. I could hear the talk when we got here," he said after their 34-20 win. "Nobody believed we'd win the game. Nobody thought we were going to come here and win the game. Nobody thought we were we were tough enough at the line of scrimmage. Everyone thought we'd be pushed around."
He continued, saying that the "DNA" of Texas is "toughness," which showed through against the Tigers.
"The DNA of this organization is mental and physical toughness, and I think that poured out of our pores today in this ball game today, and so I'm very proud of them for that. I'm very proud of the way they hung together, the way they responded to adversity," Sarkisian said.
And finally, claimed that the win showed they're "big game hunters."
"We are big game hunters, and we showed up again today," he added.

Sure! It was a good win for Texas, on the road against a solid, top-25 level opponent. They did face some "adversity," mainly falling behind after a shaky first quarter, then fighting their way back. But acting as though Texas, literally Texas, with arguably the most expensive roster in the sport, or at worst, top 2-3, is a "nobody believed in us" team is ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous.
Texas also had some help, well, a lot of help from the officials. A number of questionable calls went against the Tigers, including what appeared to be a completed pass on a big third down deep in Texas territory, and what seemed like a clear incomplete pass from Arch Manning on 3rd-and-10 being ruled a fumble that gave the Longhorns a 12-yard gain and a first down. Sure enough, that drive resulted in a touchdown and what wound up being 21 unanswered points.

That's not to say officiating was the reason Texas won, but it sure didn't hurt. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz implied as much after the game, when asked about the number of calls that went against his team.
"If I say what I want to say, I'm going to get fined until I don't have any retirement, and I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to blame the officials. That would be disrespectful to Coach Sarkisian and his team," he said, according to On3.
Even the announcing team, including Jesse Palmer, were flabbergasted at the officiating.
"If you're a Missouri fan, if you're Eli Drinkwitz, you are livid because it does feel like a lot of these calls are going against Missouri today," he said.

Again, this isn't to say Texas didn't deserve to win, they outplayed Missouri on the field and were the better team. It's the attitude that Sarkisian brings, that they were just humble underdogs clinging to a win against the big, bad Missouri Tigers that's the marketing campaign.
By acting as though every win his team gets is a monumental achievement, it builds the case that should Texas trip up against, say, a struggling LSU or on the road against a bad Texas A&M team, they can't be punished for it. It's marketing. It's classic SEC. And it's ridiculous.
JJ McCarthy left Giants game with hip injury, putting Jameis Winston in the lineup but that isn't whole story
J.J. McCarthy had two basic issues during his time with the Minnesota Vikings: Ability. And durability.
Since his trade to the New York Giants, McCarthy has shown no ability problems because he beat out Jameis Winston as the team's starter and even provided something of a spark in helping New York beat the Houston Texans in overtime.
So no ability issue.
But Sunday presented a durability issue.
McCarthy left the game against the Philadelphia Eagles with what the team is saying is a hip injury.

Winston entered the game on the Giants’ first possession of the third quarter after McCarthy took a shot from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. McCarthy gingerly got himself to the New York sideline and took a knee.
McCarthy tried to throw a warmup pass after collecting himself and could be seen writhing in pain during the follow-through.
OutKick and FOX News Digital medical expert said the tape of the play suggests an oblique muscle injury. The Giants say McCarthy is questionable to return. .
McCarthy completed 9 of 13 passes for 101 yards before he departed. He was sacked five times in the first half.
He returned to the sideline and was seen encouraging his teammates as if he intended to return to the game.
Despite what appeared to be too much pain to function, McCarthy returned to the game in the fourth quarter. It is possible he agreed to take a shot to deaden the pain and return.
Deputy White House Chief of Staff Richard Walters exits job ahead of Stephen Miller takeover
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Walters, a longtime ally of outgoing White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, is leaving the Trump administration following President Donald Trump's decision to replace Wiles with Stephen Miller.
Miller confirmed Walters' departure in a statement to Fox News, describing him as an "invaluable member" of the White House who will continue to assist the administration from the outside.
"Richard has been an invaluable member of the White House and has helped deliver some of the Administration’s biggest victories. While he will be leaving us, Richard will continue to help from the outside as we continue to work with all of our strength to deliver for President Trump and his courageous fight to Save America," Miller said.

After GOP's brutal midterms, ‘Chuck Norris of Florida politics’ tells party to 'get up and fight'
When an insurgent's bullet shattered his arm in combat, Republican Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins did not wait around for an evacuation team; the Green Beret performed emergency surgery on himself to save the limb.
After the midterms that Gov. Ron DeSantis called a "near extinction-level" event for Republicans, Collins sees a national GOP lying bloodied on the field. He advises his battered and beaten party to show the same refusal to die, and get up like a warrior.
"Where we go from here is up to us as a Republican Party," Collins, dubbed the "Chuck Norris of Florida politics" by DeSantis, told Fox News Digital in an interview just days after the midterm "bloodbath."
"This can be a definitive death blow if we allow it to be, but I believe in what we stand for." he continued. "I believe in our Constitution. I believe in our founding fathers' vision. I believe that God blessed this nation. I think we have to knuckle down, learn, apply this, and we have come out with a relentless dedication and fury to focus on what matters: To lead our state, to lead our country, and be what we need to be for the American people. That is what we should choose to do."
"Hard times happen. Warriors, leaders get up and fight. That's what we have to do now."
DESANTIS CALLS GOP MIDTERM LOSSES 'EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT' — AND EXPLAINS WHY FLORIDA SURVIVED
The metaphor is not subtle. It is a road map, set forth by DeSantis' two four-year terms – the last year of which was supplemented by Collins as his No. 2.
HUGH HEWITT: THE GOP IS WOUNDED, NOT DEAD — BUT RECOVERY HAS TO START NOW
Collins said his home state's recent history of going from a purple state to a GOP stronghold is an example the rest of the country can follow.
"Florida's been the road map," he said. "I think we've been what I call the conservative proving grounds. I think that it's time for many here in Florida to use our voice and to be out there and help our party get back on their feet. Be resilient. Yeah, man, you got popped. You got hurt. Get back up, dust it off, and let's go lead. Let's learn."
While congressional Republicans scramble to assign blame for a devastating cycle of national losses – including the loss of Texas to Democrats – Florida has positioned itself as the country’s preeminent conservative fortress, now the largest red state on the 2028 map.
"Losing sucks, winning is awesome: Let's get back to more winning," he said. "We've just got to figure out how we're going to do that, and that's achievable. I think Florida is a blueprint. I think we have a responsibility to lead."
DAVID MARCUS: HOW ASHLEY MOODY SURVIVED THE BLUE TSUNAMI AND EMERGED AS A GOP STAR
Under DeSantis, Florida shed its long-held "purple" swing-state identity to become the nation's largest, most disciplined red bastion. Collins looked back on how he pulled in the no party affiliated voters (NPAs), the valued middle that can flip races and states, in his state Senate race before being tapped to serve under DeSantis.
"Republicans showed up, but the NPAs showed up and they overwhelmingly did not align with Republicans," Collins said, admitting that even Florida's heavy Republican registered voter edge led to slim margins in the tough midterm environment. "What does that tell us? Well, the biggest gap we had was that we didn't spend enough time communicating to our NPAs."
Collins pointed back to how he won a Tampa race in a district "that is not a conservative juggernaut in terms of Florida," running against the Tampa mayor's mother-in-law.
"This was my very first race," he recalled. "We didn't talk to a single Republican out there. We only knocked NPA's and light D's, and we won by 10. What does that tell you? In a community like Tampa, I didn't hide from my views. I told people I'm conservative, I'm a Republican."
JASON CHAFFETZ: FIVE TIMELESS POLITICAL LESSONS THAT GOT LOST IN 2026
"What I realized is if you're honest with people, you agree on more than you don't, but you have got to be willing to step in there and have that conversation," he said. "And we did that over and over and again. And we built a base of people who trust us, because I don't play games."
"As a party, we need to go back to being the party that welcomes folks in – a little bit more of a big tent – but we have to stand on our conservative values," he added.
Collins is termed out of office along with DeSantis in January, but he will evaluate his future in the state or the national party apparatus. For now, he is committing to nothing and merely saying, "Stay tuned."
TREY GOWDY: THE MIDTERMS WERE A PAINFUL LESSON THAT REPUBLICANS CAN'T SKIP LEARNING
Regardless of candidate or party, Collins goes back to his military background and having risked his life and literally sacrificed limb for unity.
"I wore a flag on my shoulder every single day that I served in uniform," he said. "I wore the flag on my suit, really every single day that I was out there, serving in our state or serving our nation in any way that I could. We're the American people; we are blessed."
Once the party picks its 2028 candidate, Republicans need to be all-in against the opposition, Collins said.
"We have to row the boat," he said. "Sept. 11 was a big day in our life. Sept. 12 was incredible because we saw the power and the might of what America can be. When we rowed the boat, our enemy was fearful. They were on their heels because they saw an absolute juggernaut standing righteously to defend our people and our way of life. What our enemy fears, what other nations fear is Americans coming together."
TRUMP-BACKED BYRON DONALDS TO MAKE HISTORY AS FLORIDA’S FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR
"We have to come together and realize that our nation is blessed," he continued. "It will fall if we don't come together. But it won't happen if we don't start uniting and remind ourselves that this is America, we're allies, internal in our country, and we're going to make sure that it's the greatest country moving forward. America's worth fighting for."
"We need to focus on getting through this, the aftermath of this cycle, wrap it up, transition, and make sure that we understand exactly what happened," he concluded. "You know, when we started the war on terror, and I was a young soldier, we spent two years trying to fight the last war. It wasn't very great, to be honest with you.
"Let's not fight the last war. Let's understand the operational environment. Let's under our gaps. Our weaknesses and how we can clearly address those. And then we're going to have to move with a righteous fury."
Patrick Mahomes suffers apparent elbow injury on throwing arm but returns to face the New York Jets
Patrick Mahomes left the Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets with what appeared to be a serious injury to his right (throwing) arm Sunday afternoon, but that was only because we forgot what this guy is apparently made of.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback took a hit from New York Jets edge rusher David Bailey as he was winding up to throw a deep pass. Instead, his arm hit Bailey as the defender closed in on Mahomes.
The ball fluttered to the ground as an apparent fumble.
Mahomes was left on his knees, grasping his right elbow, in obvious pain.
PATRICK MAHOMES SO OBSESSIVE ABOUT KNEE REHAB HE TAKES A TRAINER WITH HIM WHEN HE LEAVES TOWN
The shocking thing of all this? Mahomes returned to the game.

Despite seeming to favor the arm as he tried to make throws on the sideline, Mahomes returned to the game on Kansas City's next series and threw a completion to tight end Travis Kelce.
Then he scrambled up the middle for a 7-yard gain.
This is not normal.
After halftime, which almost definitely included another evaluation of Mahomes' elbow, the quarterback went back in the game. And he helped the Chiefs drive for a touchdown and a 21-12 lead.
It is clear that Mahomes avoided a UCL tear because such an injury to his elbow would prevent him from throwing the football. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy suffered such an injury in the playoffs several years ago.
George W Bush welcomes 27 veterans to his ranch for 16th annual Warrior Ride
Former President George W. Bush welcomed 27 veterans to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, for his 16th annual Warrior Ride, an event honoring their service and recovery ahead of Veterans Day.
"These veterans have overcome a lot... but there's no self-pity. There's no, 'Please feel sorry for me,'" the 43rd president said on Friday.
"They serve as a great example of how to deal with life's difficulties and recover. I've watched a lot of them over the years go from darkness to light," he said.
Bush's continued involvement with wounded veterans drew praise from his cousin, Fox News contributor Billy Bush, who emphasized on "The Sunday Briefing" that the former president's commitment to service members did not end when he left the White House.
"George W. Bush has never wavered," he said.
"The greatest responsibility of the office is deciding to send troops to war, and inevitably, some get hurt. And for George W., that doesn't end when you walk out of office. He's done it 16 years in a row. He's hopping on his bike and riding with the guys."
NEARLY 200 INJURED SERVICE MEMBERS COMPETE IN 2026 WARRIOR GAMES
Bush also cited his cousin's portraits of wounded warriors as another example of George W. Bush's continued dedication to veterans.
"Character matters, and his artwork is about wounded warriors. He has really, really lived it all the way through. So hats off to the old man."
Billy Bush also joked about seeing his 80-year-old cousin back on a bicycle.
"I'm a little nervous seeing him at 80 years old on there. Here he goes. Keep it on the flats, man."
Social media horrified by Dave Chappelle’s sick ‘joke’ about Charlie Kirk’s murder
Comedian Dave Chappelle said he feels "better" following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk during a stand-up performance in New York City on Friday night, provoking outrage across social media.
Despite rules barring cell phones from the Madison Square Garden show, a video circulating on social media shows Chappelle appearing to make the remarks during his "Karmageddon" tour stop in New York City.
"I feel f----- up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but, I feel better."
'SNL' WEEKEND UPDATE ANCHOR CALLS REPUBLICANS SLURS, MOCKS CHARLIE KIRK IN STAND-UP SPECIAL
"I know I shouldn’t say that, but it’s just a feeling. I didn’t ask to feel this way," Chappelle said. He then described his unexpected high spirits in the aftermath of Kirk's killing.
"I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!'" Chapelle continued on Friday.
TPUSA pointed Fox News Digital to Erika Kirk's statement on X, in which she wrote that treating the destruction of human life as a punchline is "disgusting."
"A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together. You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard," she continued.
"Shame, shame, shame on Chappelle," Elon Musk posted.
Benny Johnson, host of "The Benny Show" podcast, called Chappelle's remarks "sick," while political commentator Meghan McCain asked, "What the h--- is wrong with Dave Chappelle?!"
Former communications director to former Vice President Mike Pence Katie Miller tagged Live Nation, the entertainment behemoth that sold tickets for Chapelle's tour, on X and asked, "Is this something we agree with?"
Journalist Piers Morgan wrote that Chappelle's comments were "especially egregious given that Chappelle himself survived an attack on stage in 2022."
Many on X pointed out that Charlie Kirk himself posted in support of Chappelle after the comedian was attacked. Kirk wrote that refusing to charge the comedian's assailant sent "a clear message that public acts of political violence are justifiable." The man who attacked Chappelle was ultimately charged with four misdemeanors.
Kirk was murdered at a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University in Orem on September 10, 2025.
A trial date for Tyler Robinson, 23, the alleged shooter, has not yet been set.
PETE DAVIDSON SPARKS BACKLASH AFTER EXPLICIT JOKE ABOUT SLAIN CHARLIE KIRK DURING NETFLIX ROAST
Robinson has pleaded not guilty to all seven charges filed against him. His attorneys are seeking to block cameras from an upcoming hearing.
Chappelle has received backlash for his edgier jokes over the years, including jokes about transgender people.
Pushback against part of his stand-up show "The Closer," released on Netflix in 2021, led to a small group of Netflix employees staging a walkout in protest.
Kirk's murder has been the subject of multiple comedians' sets, including, Pete Davidson, who faced backlash after an explicit joke during Netflix’s "The Roast of Kevin Hart" at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
"Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat," Davidson said during the roast.
"Saturday Night Live" "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che also joked about Kirk's killing during his Netflix special, "Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota."
"I feel like Erika Kirk on this stage. That’s no disrespect to the Kirks, by the way," Che said.
Che said he didn't know who Charlie Kirk was before the activist was killed, joking that he initially thought people were talking about "the dude from Star Trek."
Fox News Digital reached out to Chapelle's team and Madison Square Garden for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Forget prunes: Popular green fruit shows promise for constipation relief
Eating two green kiwis a day could help people struggling with constipation, a new review suggests.
The research, published in the journal Food, Nutrition and Health, looked at 33 previous studies and reports on kiwifruit and digestive health.
Eating two fresh green kiwis a day for about four weeks was linked to more regular bowel movements, less straining and better digestive comfort in people with constipation or irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
COMMON KITCHEN STAPLE MAY HELP RELIEVE MILD CONSTIPATION, NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS
In one international trial included in the review, people with constipation had about 1.5 more complete bowel movements per week, while those with IBS-C had about 1.7 more per week. Both groups also reported improved digestive comfort.
The new review suggests there may be several reasons kiwi helps with constipation.
Its fiber can add bulk and hold water in stool, while the fruit's natural water and sorbitol may help make stool easier to pass. Researchers said the benefit likely comes from several parts of the whole fruit working together rather than one component alone.
Kiwi was not necessarily more effective than other constipation treatments.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
One U.S. trial included in the review found that green kiwi, psyllium fiber and prunes all helped improve chronic constipation. Kiwi was associated with fewer side effects and was well-tolerated by many participants.
The evidence is strongest for fresh green kiwi, the researchers noted. There is less research on gold kiwi, powders and extracts, so those forms should not be assumed to have the same effect.
Jason Heiselman, a New York-based certified nutritionist and professional chef at Hungryroot in New York City, previously told Fox News Digital that kiwi is an easy fruit to work into a person's diet.
"It feels like a no-brainer to include a few slices with any meal," said Heiselman, who was not involved in the new review.

Kiwi contains fiber along with a natural enzyme called actinidin, which can help with digestion, the nutritionist noted.
"Pairing kiwi with some good fat sources, like seeds, nuts or full-fat dairy, allows your body to absorb more nutrients," he said.

For people who do not want to eat kiwi on its own, the fruit can also work in savory meals, according to Heiselman. "Raw kiwi slices often make their way to my dinner table," he said.
Heiselman said he pairs the fruit with salty cheeses, toasted pistachios and shaved red onion, and has also used kiwi as the base for chutneys and relishes.
There were some limitations to the findings.
The paper reviewed previous research rather than conducting a new clinical trial, and the studies differed in the people involved, the types and amounts of kiwi consumed, and the results researchers measured.
Most of the research also looked at relatively short periods of time, so more studies are needed to determine whether the benefits continue long-term.
Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment.

MLW Saturday Night SuperFight: New era begins, Tessa Blanchard makes her debut and more
Major League Wrestling’s (MLW) first pay-per-view of the year embodied its tagline, "Choose Violence."
Saturday Night SuperFight featured major matches with well-known professional wrestlers giving it their all for one night. A few fresh faces also joined the fray with at least one putting the rest of the roster on notice.
The main event of the night also changed the landscape for the company as MLW looks ahead toward 2027.
Read below to see how Saturday Night SuperFight turned out at Cicero Stadium in Chicago.

Josh Bishop was confident when he told OutKick Dropkick he wasn’t going to fall into Killer Kross’ sleeperhold and he wasn’t going to stay down the necessary 10 seconds that would have lost him the Last Man Standing match and cost him the MLW World Heavyweight Championship.
He came through on his promises.
The hellish match ended with Bishop, who was already a bloody mess, baptizing a table with his blood and hitting Kross with Exit 187, sending him through the wood. Kross was trying to get back up and was using a chair to help himself get back on his two feet. Bishop made a heads-up play and kicked the chair from Kross’ grasp.
The referee counted to 10 and Bishop was crowned the new MLW world heavyweight champion.
Kross started the year as the champion when he won it at Battle Riot VIII. Bishop went through hell and back to get the belt around his waist and he has crowned himself the future of the company.
Bishop’s win over Kross may be the most talked-about moment of the night, but it was Austin Aries and Matt Riddle who stole the show.
Riddle challenged Aries for the MLW National Openweight Championship. From the jump, Aries and Riddle were locked in a bitter battle – almost literally. The first four minutes of the match the two were tied up and they danced all around the arena before breaking apart.
From there, Riddle tried everything to keep Aries down. He hit a cutter on Aries on top of the title belt that Aries was poised to use as a weapon while the referee was down. But Aries, a veteran in the game, grabbed the rope before the three-count was made.
Riddle was in disbelief as there were five minutes left in the 30-minute match. Aries tried to stall the best he could as the time ticked away. The two wrestlers exchanged punches and slaps before Riddle hit another cutter on Aries. But as Riddle made the cover, time expired.
The Chicago crowd pleaded for overtime. Aries got on the mic and said if Riddle wanted more time, the crowd wanted more time and MLW wanted more time, then he wasn’t going to deliver it for them. Riddle knocked out Aries with a backfist and paraded around with the title.
Aries won the match, but Riddle got his last lick in.
Tessa Blanchard made her highly anticipated MLW debut at Saturday Night SuperFight and faced off against a formidable opponent in Keyra. While it was in MLW’s house, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) was fully on display.
The bout featured fast-paced action. Keyra was rolling at one point. She didn’t want Blanchard to get any kind of momentum that was going to put her away.
Blanchard caught Keyra with a thrust kick and hit a DDT to put Keyra away. Blanchard made clear she was putting the rest of the MLW women’s division on notice.
Shotzi Blackheart is currently the MLW women’s world champion but there’s a whole host of women on the roster gunning for her. Blanchard is far from the only one but her momentum is building.
The rest of the roster includes Scarlett Bordeaux, Zamaya and Masha. But you never know who else is going to "choose violence."
Trevor Lee knew what he was doing when he challenged IWGP heavyweight champion Yota Tsuji for a match at Saturday Night SuperFight. He wanted to prove he was one of the top wrestlers in the business and can go punch-for-punch with the best in the world.
Lee put on a show, hitting multiple Collision Courses on Tsuji. But he would have needed to do a little bit more to keep one of the best Japanese pro wrestlers down. He went for a high-risk move from the top rope and got caught.

Tsuji speared Lee, only securing a two count. He moved to the corner and stalked Lee. He sprinted toward his opponent and nailed the Gene Blaster. Tsuji picked up the win after that.
Lee proved to the pro wrestling world he has what it takes to be in the ring with some of the best the sport has to offer. Saturday just wasn’t his night.

DAVID MARCUS: Where does the blue tsunami leave old school Dems like John Fetterman?
On Tuesday night, the American people triggered a political earthquake by thrusting Democrats into power in both the House and Senate by overwhelming margins. The defeat has already left the GOP in a circular firing squad of recrimination, but Democrats, too, must now face their own party's new divisions.
That’s where Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., comes in front and center.
Fetterman in recent years has replaced former Sens. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, as the most vocal and pugnacious moderate on issues such as immigration enforcement, support for Israel and a refusal to shut down the government to achieve liberal policy wins.
MAVERICK DEMOCRAT SURGES WITH REPUBLICANS AS HIS OWN PARTY TURNS ON HIM, STOKING TALK OF GOP SWITCH
Fetterman's penchant for criticizing progressive shibboleths was one thing when Democrats toiled in the minority, but how will incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his leadership team deal with the Pennsylvania maverick now that they control the upper chamber?
It is possible that Schumer just waits Fetterman out. The latter is up for re-election in 2028 and currently, according to surveys, is more popular with Keystone State Republicans than with Democratic voters there, making his chances of retaining the seat, at least as a Democrat, rather remote.
CHUCK SCHUMER AFTER SWEEPING DEMOCRATIC MIDTERM VICTORIES: 'I'LL BE RE-ELECTED AS MAJORITY LEADER'
Fetterman, it should be noted, is not the only nominally moderate Democrat facing voters in a purple state in two years. There are also Patty Murray of Washington, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada. But one must ask: Will they be more afraid of a general election defeat from the right or a primary ouster from the left?
A year ago, Democrats had dreams of a Senate majority, but it wasn't quite the Senate majority they have wound up with. In Michigan, they expected a Haley Stevens or Mallory McMorrow, not an Abdul El-Sayed. In Maine, an Angie Craig, not a Troy Jackson. These avatars of the progressive wing of the party will be the celebrities of the next Congress.
MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BROADLY REJECT SOCIALIST IDEOLOGY EVEN AS FAR LEFT SURGES TO POWER
It is difficult to imagine this firebrand faction working hand in hand with a White House they flat-out accuse of fascism to pass bipartisan legislation. But just as hard-line MAGA senators have been frustrated by Senate Majority Leader John Thune's temperance on issues such as killing the filibuster, incoming leader Chuck Schumer may well wish to resist the resistance, so to speak.
In fact, establishment Democrats and media pundits have been quick to remind us all that the vast majority of Democrats serving at the Capitol are not of the socialist variety, even though the party's zeitgeist and primary wins such as those in Michigan and Maine are with them.
JOE MANCHIN WARNS DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS ARE GAINING GROUND AS DEMOCRATS REMAIN SILENT
The good news for Democratic leadership is that the scale of the victories Tuesday gives them big enough margins — 80 or so seats in the House and four to six in the Senate — that the socialists should not be able to hold legislation hostage. But that doesn't mean they have to be quiet about it.
There are several issues where we can expect the ascendant far left of the Democratic Party to draw lines in the marble of the Capitol, chief among them support for Israel and funding for immigration enforcement. Schumer will likely have to bend the knee to these demands, but not John Fetterman.
As Republicans delve deep into their postmortems, assigning blame for defeat, Democrats are celebrating a kind of Easter. But the question is: What exactly is this resurrected political party? Are the socialists a flying buttress to the establishment Democrats, or are they, in fact, the body of the cathedral now?
Fetterman raised eyebrows at this year's GOP midterm convention in Dallas when he appeared via video to celebrate the other Pennsylvania senator, Republican Dave McCormick, leading some to believe that the sweatshirt-wearing contrarian could switch parties — something he has consistently told the media, including this columnist, that he will never do.
Democrats in leadership have insisted for months that there has not been a far-left takeover of the party of Jefferson and Jackson, but rather that there is simply a big tent. Well, we know the tent is big enough for the likes of California streamer and anti-Israel firebrand Hasan Piker, but is there room in it for John Fetterman?
There was a scenario in play on Tuesday in which Fetterman could have become the 51st Democratic senator and close to the most powerful man in Washington. That did not happen, but he remains the most distinctive voice in D.C.
Has the Democratic Party outgrown the likes of old-school John Fetterman? And if so, can Republicans use that fact to woo law-and-order, Israel-hawk Democratic voters over to their side? Or is Fetterman now just a man out of time, out of step and without a solid constituency of voters?
