Progressive org launches campaign urging AOC to run for president while progressives eye socialist candidate
A progressive organization urging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. to run for president in 2028 has kicked off a campaign to collect signatures nationwide in support of the congresswoman's potential run.
Ready For AOC, which describes itself as a "people-powered," "grassroots," and "unaffiliated" organization, launched the campaign Monday, urging supporters of the congresswoman to ask her to run for president.
"Movements like this work when they're loud and early — long before the candidate says yes. The proof isn't money. It's names. Yours makes the case louder," the campaign's website states.

The website boasts 804 signatures as of Tuesday morning, though representatives for the project claim to be aiming for 10,000 community leaders to join their mission, according to the New York Times. The group also claims to have 500 political and union leaders across 35 states on board, the outlet reported.
"The goal is to build the infrastructure of a grassroots movement in the case that she decides to run, but also to demonstrate to her that, ‘Look, there is a movement behind you ready to power you to victory should you choose to run for president,'" Ravi Sahai, a spokesman for the group, told the New York Times.
AMERICA SAW THE BLUE WAVE COMING — BUT DRASTICALLY UNDERESTIMATED THE EXTENT OF THE DEM TSUNAMI
Ocasio-Cortez herself has been coy about a potential run, but hasn't ruled it out. Asked by Fox News Digital in July if she'd consider running, she replied "I have genuinely not really weighed seriously anything past the midterm elections."
However, following a sweeping blue wave in the midterms that saw voters punch ballots for numerous members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and other far-left candidates, the DSA's ranks are emboldened by the results and vocally making the case that America is ready for a far-left president.
MEET THE FAR-LEFT SOCIALISTS COMING TO CONGRESS NEXT YEAR
"For so long, we have been told that democratic socialists would be a liability," Gustavo Gordillo, the co-chair of New York City's DSA, said while speaking at an Astoria, Queens watch party on election night. "We've been told for so long that if we elect democratic socialists throughout the country that we won't be able to win races in Texas, in Florida. Tonight, we actually elected a democratic socialist in Tampa in a Republican MAGA-held seat," he bragged, according to state outlet City & State New York.
The DSA, which will hold a citywide convention in New York on Nov. 14, will hold a vote on whether the organization will formally push for Ocasio-Cortez to run, Gordillo revealed to a crowd at the watch party, City & State reported.
FAR-LEFT SURGE: MAMDANI-BACKED CANDIDATES OUST DEM ESTABLISHMENT INCUMBENTS
Despite the buzz, however, Ocasio-Cortez has downplayed speculation following the election, telling reporters that Democrats need to focus on governing over running.
"The last thing that people want to hear from me or any other politician is about the next election. What they actually want to hear from us is about what we are going to do with the electoral results they just gave us on Tuesday," she told reporters Monday.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, arguably the DSA's biggest success story, recently told NBC that America is "absolutely" ready for a socialist president.
"We have heard time and again over the ten months that I've been in office here in New York City, that what we're doing here can't work elsewhere, that what people are concerned about here isn't what people are concerned about across the country," Mamdani told NBC's Kristen Welker the day after election day. "And what we saw last night is that the struggles of Americans in Atlanta, of Americans in Allentown, are not all that different than the struggles of Americans in Astoria."
AOC OPENS UP ABOUT RACE, GENDER IN WEIGHING POSSIBLE 2028 WHITE HOUSE BID
Mamdani, who was frequently joined by Ocasio-Cortez while campaigning for mayor in 2025, has not specifically mentioned any potential 2028 candidate by name, but is reportedly meeting with labor and union leaders to organize a potential progressive bloc for 2028.
Ocasio-Cortez was tabbed as the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee in a July poll from New Hampshire Granite State, however a more recent poll from Atlas Insights had her tied with Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.

Other potential Democratic candidates being eyeballed as would-be nominees include former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.
Fox News Digital contacted Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, Ready For AOC and the Democratic Socialists of America for further comment.
Nvidia spy case exposes how foreign agents target America’s corporate elite: 'He is compromised'
Nvidia’s reported spy scandal is shaking markets and rattling the tech world, raising urgent questions about how close foreign agents can get to America’s most powerful corporate leaders.
Dr. Michael Wallace, a professor at Tulane University and retired military intelligence officer with 20 years of experience, said foreign intelligence services study targets’ personal lives and interests to find ways to build trust and gain access.
And it's become increasingly clear that business leaders worldwide could potentially provide access or information about the U.S. government if placed correctly. Huang was on Air Force One with President Donald Trump in May as part of the delegation during a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing. He has also visited the White House a handful of times to discuss the administration's artificial intelligence (AI) agenda and Nvidia's powerful chips and selling them to approved Chinese customers.
HOW US CEOS QUIETLY TEAMED UP WITH TRUMP TO GAIN LEVERAGE OVER CHINA
There are now active investigations into whether U.S. national security or company secrets were compromised by Hunag's reported extramarital affair with a businesswoman allegedly recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to target the Nvidia CEO.
"The goal of human intelligence is to get somebody close to a source that can either elicit information or obtain information from a person," Wallace told Fox News Digital.
That access could reveal more than technical secrets, Wallace said. Someone close to a CEO might learn about business relationships, product plans, upcoming chip releases or conversations with government officials.
The allegations revive longstanding U.S. concerns about Chinese corporate espionage and efforts to gain access to American companies’ sensitive technology and business information. Those concerns carry added weight in Nvidia’s case because its advanced chips are central to the artificial-intelligence industry and the U.S.-China technology competition.
NVIDIA CEO JENSEN HUANG APOLOGIZES AS FIRM PROBES AFFAIR WITH ALLEGED SPY
"What makes it unique is that it happened this high up to this person," Wallace said. "That’s what boggles my mind."
Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation into reports about Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed. Alice, despite sharing a last name, has no relation to the Nvidia CEO.
The New York Times reported that U.S. officials suspected Alice had gathered information for Beijing. Nvidia has said Huang meets with thousands of customer executives each year and that meetings with her were not unusual.
The news caused shockwaves across business and government, and is leading to calls for Huang to resign.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS DEMAND ANSWERS FROM NVIDIA CEO OVER REPORTED CHINESE SPY TIES
Huang apologized to Nvidia employees Sunday for being unfaithful to his wife, writing, "There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry." He did not identify the woman or describe the relationship in his message.
The board said independent directors, assisted by outside counsel, would oversee the inquiry. It said it had "no reason to believe that either national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised," while adding that the investigation would examine all available information. Nvidia said Huang would remain CEO during the review and had committed to cooperating.
Amy Kremer, chairwoman of advocacy group Humans First, said Huang should resign and called for federal investigations.
"He is compromised," Kremer told Fox News Digital. "We have to get to the bottom of this and let’s hope that he’s the only one."
Kremer also called for Nvidia to lose government contracts until Huang leaves the company. She criticized his advocacy for easing restrictions on chip sales to China, arguing the reported relationship raises national-security concerns.
The allegations have not established that Huang knowingly shared information or that Nvidia’s technology was compromised.
Trump said Monday he spoke with Huang and believed the Nvidia CEO "will be in good shape," while expressing amazement at the allegations.
Trump also said he did not think he would raise the matter with Jinping.
The White House declined to elaborate on whether the Trump administration would continue engaging with Huang, referring Fox News Digital to Trump’s previous comments.
Riot-torn France struggles with chaos at home as Macron eyes military mission thousands of miles away
French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing ahead with plans for a new European military presence in Lebanon while struggling with mounting political and economic turmoil at home, even as the initiative encounters resistance from a key European partner and Washington considers an alternative that may not require troops.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that he had discussed the future of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) with Macron, suggesting that a replacement monitoring mechanism could be civilian rather than military.
"It doesn't have to be a military mission. It could be a civilian mission," Rubio said in remarks published Tuesday.
Rubio explained that the administration is seeking a credible mechanism to verify arrangements under which Israeli forces withdraw from designated areas, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) assume control and the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah is prevented from returning.
He suggested France could play a constructive role but emphasized that any arrangement would require agreement from both Lebanon and Israel.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz also made clear that Washington has no intention of preserving the existing peacekeeping mission.
"UNIFIL in its current form will not continue, and it must not continue — we are working with our intentional partners to draw down the mission and ensure that the Lebanese people can choose their own future and to ensure that the Lebanese Armed Forces can secure the nation’s future," Waltz told Fox News Digital.
MACRON UNDER FIRE OVER IRAN, HEZBOLLAH POLICY AS TRUMP ADMIN HOSTS ISRAEL-LEBANON TALKS
The French initiative, meanwhile, envisions a multinational force potentially involving thousands of European troops to support the Lebanese army as UNIFIL prepares to end its nearly five-decade mission. The proposed force's final size, mandate and participating countries remain unconfirmed.
However, Italy, which previously joined France in calling for an international coalition following UNIFIL's withdrawal, does not support deploying its troops under the proposal currently advanced by Paris, three sources with knowledge of the discussions told Fox News Digital.
The initiative comes as Macron faces growing domestic pressure, with France experiencing widespread demonstrations over rising living costs, wages and deteriorating public services.
The unrest has further complicated the government's efforts to pass its 2027 budget, as mounting debt and political divisions limit its room to maneuver, Reuters reported Nov. 5.
Against that backdrop, France's proposed deployment raises questions about the financial and military resources Paris could commit to another overseas mission, particularly without firm support from its European partners.
Simone Rodan-Benzaquen, senior envoy for Europe at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said France could still play an important diplomatic role, regardless of whether the eventual monitoring mission is civilian or military.
FRANCE IS DEVOURING ITSELF AS SCHOOL RIOTS REVEAL A CRISIS FAR BIGGER THAN BROKEN CLASSROOMS
"Rubio’s remarks suggest there is room for French involvement that Washington could support. Paris can help bring Beirut and Jerusalem to agreement on a monitoring mission both would trust," Rodan-Benzaquen told Fox News Digital.
"Whether the monitors are civilian or military, they need access to suspected weapons sites and the ability to return to verify that Hezbollah has stayed out."
The question of who would conduct such inspections has already proved contentious.
The United States and Israel had previously opposed France serving as a third-party verifier of Hezbollah's disarmament, according to an Aug. 7 Reuters report citing Lebanese officials and foreign diplomats. A Lebanese official also told Reuters that Beirut had rejected an earlier proposal involving private security companies.
The challenges extend beyond diplomatic disagreements.
According to a Congressional Research Service assessment updated November 9, Hezbollah continues to refuse disarmament while Israeli forces maintain positions in southern Lebanon.
IS THE IRAN-BACKED TERRORIST MOVEMENT HEZBOLLAH ON THE ROPES IN LEBANON?
A U.S.-brokered framework agreement reached in June linked a phased Israeli withdrawal to the verified disarmament of armed groups and the deployment of Lebanese forces. But implementation has stalled beyond the initial pilot areas, and negotiations in October ended without agreement.
Rodan-Benzaquen argued that France should use its influence with Beirut to encourage the Lebanese government to enforce its decisions against Hezbollah's military activities.
"Israel needs credible evidence that Hezbollah cannot resume operations in an area its forces are leaving. Beirut needs confidence that once its army has secured that area, the agreed Israeli withdrawal will follow. That is where French and American diplomacy can make a difference."
The debate follows the August 2025 Security Council resolution extending UNIFIL's mandate for a final time, until December 31, 2026, with an orderly withdrawal authorized over the following year.
Washington backed terminating the mission amid longstanding concerns about its inability to prevent Hezbollah from maintaining a military presence in southern Lebanon. France, by contrast, has warned against leaving a security vacuum.
PENTAGON HOSTS FIRST-EVER ISRAELI–LEBANESE MILITARY TALKS AIMED AT CURBING HEZBOLLAH
In a previous Security Council statement, the French Mission to the U.N. said: "France will support UNIFIL until the expiration of its mandate. It will contribute to defining the future international engagement in Lebanon, in support of its sovereignty and the implementation of resolution 1701."
U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told Fox News Digital that Secretary-General António Guterres presented three options for a future U.N. presence in June, but the Security Council has not formally selected one.
He added that the U.N. is aware of discussions about a possible non-U.N. military presence in southern Lebanon but is not directly involved in those negotiations.
With UNIFIL's mandate approaching expiration, France faces the challenge of securing agreement not only on which countries would contribute personnel, but also on what those forces would be authorized to do in a country where Hezbollah remains armed and Israeli troops have yet to fully withdraw.
The Italian government has not responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Requests for comment were also sent to the State Department, Spanish and Lebanese authorities.
America's veterans and military heroes deserve far more recognition than they get: YouTube star
A former Army National Guard medic and YouTube star based in Iowa with several million followers has a message for Veterans Day and beyond.
Nic Flood, a journeyman electrician and father of two, told Fox News Digital that when people "learn about America’s war heroes, you’re learning about some of the best, bravest individuals that have ever existed on the face of the planet. And if you can draw from those experiences and learn those lessons, it’s going to help you in life."
Flood has built an online following by telling the stories of American military heroes, from their childhood to their service and on through their later-in-life experiences.
HIDDEN CAUSE OF VETERANS' STRUGGLES DRIVES RENEWED URGENCY IN VA MESSAGING
"If you forget what these men sacrificed, then ultimately you're going to wind up forgetting what they sacrificed for, too," Flood said.
"It's easy to forget how important that is when you aren't reminded of the cost of it."
Flood said his concern about how military history is taught partly comes from his own experience in school, though he says that may or may not be typical.
He said he frequently hears from viewers who once thought they disliked history, only to become interested in it when they begin hearing the stories of the people who lived it.
To look beyond his own experience, Flood created a survey that drew more than 1,100 responses from 49 states. He focused in particular on 81 eighth graders whose teachers administered the survey in class and whose families did not watch his videos.

The results showed a striking divide between their knowledge of pop culture and military history. Among eighth graders, 98% of those who took the survey knew that Travis Kelce married Taylor Swift — while just 6% could name a Medal of Honor recipient, Flood said.
Only one in eight could name an American hero from World War II, while nearly a third selected actor Woody Harrelson when asked to identify a war hero.
At the same time, 64% of the students said someone in their own family had served in the military.
The students did not appear uninterested in history. Most rated their history class a four or five out of five, and one student offered an idea about how to make the subject more meaningful.

"It should feel less like a memory test and more like we're learning about real people," the student wrote.
Flood said that is why he believes storytelling can make history resonate in a way that memorizing dates and locations may not.
"You can still teach the big picture of World War II, but you can teach it through the lens of an individual," he said.
"And not only is it more entertaining, it's more compelling, but it also makes it easier for kids and people in general to relate to."
One story very much on Flood's mind is that of Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient Roy Benavidez — who recovered from a severe injury, returned to military service and later helped save fellow service members during a lengthy firefight.
Flood said he has drawn on lessons from Benavidez's story while dealing with injuries in his own life.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
"If Roy Benavidez could live through what he did, I mean, I can get through this," Flood recalled thinking. "I think hearing these lessons, especially at a young age to kids, is very powerful."
The response to Flood's online work ultimately helped inspire "Heroes Erased," his children's book series focused on 10 American heroes from World War II. He said viewers had repeatedly asked for versions of his stories that they could share with their children.
Flood said he hopes the project encourages others to keep telling the stories of the people behind American military history.
"Everybody wants to hear these stories," he said. "Everybody wants to be excited about history."
For Flood, the message extends beyond Veterans Day.
"I don't think that you should just go out and learn these stories because you're supposed to honor veterans," he said.
"I think there's actual value to be learned from hearing these stories and taking them in."
Cruise ship murder suspect said he snapped before beating and choking woman: affidavit
A cruise ship passenger accused of killing a woman aboard the MSC Seascape told FBI investigators he "snap[ped]" during an argument before beating and choking her for up to five minutes, according to newly filed federal court documents.
A criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of Texas shows that Jason Leon Watford, 48, has been charged with murder in connection with the woman's death aboard the cruise ship while it was sailing in international waters on Sunday.
The woman has not been publicly identified.
Surveillance footage showed Watford entering the cabin at about 7:46 p.m., followed by the woman about 25 minutes later, investigators said. No one else was seen entering or leaving the cabin before she was discovered.
Watford told investigators the two had been arguing while eating at a restaurant aboard the ship before returning to the cabin, where the argument continued, according to the affidavit.
Investigators said Watford admitted that he "snap[ped]" and struck the woman multiple times, causing blood to come from her mouth and land on his shirt, pants and hands. His blood-stained clothing was later found on the cabin floor.
Watford allegedly admitted to choking the woman with both hands before wrapping his right arm around her neck from behind as she was lying down.
He told investigators he applied pressure to her neck for about four to five minutes, releasing her only after becoming exhausted.
The woman remained motionless on the floor for about 10 minutes, but Watford did not contact ship security or medical personnel, investigators said.
At about 9:02 p.m., a housekeeper arrived at the cabin to deliver towels and knocked on the door.
Watford answered and briefly spoke with the housekeeper, who reported seeing what she believed was blood on his hands and pants and the woman lying face down and motionless on the floor, the affidavit says.

The housekeeper then contacted other MSC employees.

About 13 minutes after the housekeeper first knocked, surveillance footage captured Watford leaving the cabin wearing a different shirt and pants.
He then sat on the hallway floor outside the cabin and scrolled on his smartphone, investigators said.

MSC security detained Watford as a suspect, and the cruise line contacted the FBI's Texas City Resident Agency at about 11 p.m. to report a suspected homicide aboard the ship.
The Seascape returned to the Port of Galveston early Monday, where FBI personnel boarded the vessel and began investigating.

Watford had previously been prosecuted in Texas for assaulting a family member, Smith County court records show.
He was arrested in September 2024 on a charge of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and was sentenced that November to 15 months of probation and 30 hours of community service.
MSC Cruises previously told Fox News Digital that authorities instructed the ship to return to Galveston after the cruise line reported an incident involving a guest.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
"We are cooperating fully with the investigation and providing support to those impacted. The ship has left the port and resumed its planned itinerary," an MSC Cruises spokesperson said.
"As this is an active investigation, we cannot provide more details," the spokesperson added. "Our thoughts are with the guest’s family and friends at this difficult time."
An FBI task force officer said the evidence supporting the murder charge includes surveillance video, Watford's statements to investigators, accounts from MSC employees and an examination of the woman's body.

Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on Celtics vs 76ers
It’s the first regular-season meeting in Philadelphia since the 76ers pulled off one of the most stunning comebacks of last season’s playoffs. Boston visits Philly tonight on NBC, and both teams know exactly what’s at stake in this rivalry. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on Celtics vs. 76ers.
The collapse. Boston was the East’s No. 2 seed last spring and led seventh-seeded Philadelphia 3-1 in the first round. The 76ers then won three straight, closing it out 109-100 in Game 7 at TD Garden. For the Celtics, that series has been hanging over them since May. For the Sixers, it was the moment that turned them from a play-in team into a contender.
The arrival of LeBron. Philadelphia didn’t stand still after the upset. The 76ers added LeBron James to play alongside Tyrese Maxey, and the betting market now has them among the top title favorites in the league. This is LeBron’s first chance to play the Celtics in a Sixers uniform at home, and you can expect the building to be loud from the opening tip.
Boston’s response. The Celtics still have Jaylen Brown and a roster built on versatility and defense. They’re used to being the team everyone targets, and now they’re the team with something to prove. That flips the usual dynamic in this rivalry.
Philadelphia’s best path is pace. Maxey is at his most dangerous in transition, and LeBron’s ability to push the ball off a defensive rebound makes the Sixers tough to stop in the open floor. If the game gets fast, Philly has the edge at home.
Boston will want to slow things down, force the 76ers to execute in the halfcourt and lean on Brown to create late. The Celtics have the defensive length to make a halfcourt game uncomfortable for Philadelphia’s stars.
The Sixers are the hot name, they’re at home and the public will lean their way after last spring. That’s exactly why the value is on the other side. Boston is motivated, experienced and capable of turning this into a grind. Even if Philadelphia wins, a single-digit game is the most likely outcome between these two. Take the Celtics and the points, and collect $350 in FanCash either way.
The Knicks host the Bucks at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the Thunder visit Portland at 11 p.m. ET to close the night. Heat at Jazz and Magic at Kings fill out the middle of the schedule.
A playoff rematch with a new superstar in the mix. New users can bet $20 on Celtics vs. 76ers and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.
BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: Unlock $1500 in First Bet Cover for Celtics-76ers or Any Other NBA Game
The Celtics return to Philadelphia tonight for the first time since one of the most painful playoff exits in franchise history. The 76ers erased a 3-1 deficit and won Game 7 in Boston last spring, and now the rivals meet on NBC with a lot more than a November win on the line. BetMGM is offering new users bonus code FOXNEWS to unlock up to $1,500 in First Bet Cover. If your first bet loses, BetMGM refunds your stake in bonus bets.
Boston entered last season’s playoffs as the East’s No. 2 seed and jumped out to a 3-1 lead over seventh-seeded Philadelphia. The Sixers won the next three, finishing it off with a 109-100 win at TD Garden. Philadelphia then added LeBron James to pair with Tyrese Maxey this offseason, and the books now rate the 76ers as one of the top title contenders in the league, slightly ahead of Boston.
This is a revenge spot in every sense. Boston has had an entire offseason to think about that collapse, and Jaylen Brown and the Celtics will treat tonight like a playoff game. The 76ers, meanwhile, are the hunted team now. A home crowd and a new superstar raise expectations, and November games against a motivated rival tend to be closer than the market expects.
The Celtics also have the depth and defensive versatility to make life tough on Philadelphia’s stars. If Boston can slow Maxey in transition and make LeBron work in the halfcourt, it has a real shot to steal one on the road.
First Bet Cover is built for exactly this kind of swing. If Boston is a road underdog tonight, you’re getting plus money on a motivated, battle-tested team with every reason to show up. If the Celtics win, you cash at plus odds. If the Sixers hold serve, BetMGM refunds your stake in bonus bets. That’s a low-risk way to back a team out for revenge.
If you’d rather take your first bet elsewhere, the late game in Portland is worth a look. The 8-2 Thunder visit a 6-3 Blazers team that’s been one of the surprises in the West, and a home team in a competitive late game is another spot where a protected bet makes sense.
Odds are subject to change
A playoff rematch, a revenge game and a full night of NBA action. New users can unlock up to $1,500 in First Bet Cover on Celtics-76ers or any NBA game tonight with BetMGM bonus code FOXNEWS.

FanDuel is giving new users $200 in bonus bets by betting $5 a day for four days, with no promo code required.
The headliner is Celtics at 76ers at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, the first meeting in Philadelphia since the Sixers rallied from a 3-1 deficit to knock Boston out of last spring’s playoffs.

Tuesday’s pick: Bucks-Knicks Under 217.5. The Knicks’ defense has tightened up during their three-game win streak, and Milwaukee’s offense has stalled during its slide. A team that’s struggling to score against a team that’s locking in defensively is a recipe for a slower game. Use your first $5 on the Under.
Odds are subject to change
