What are the latest developments on reopening the Strait of Hormuz?
A deal appears near. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News, but it may not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran and Oman reportedly want to limit ships to a narrow route and charge fees. Fox's Steve Harrigan has more from Tel Aviv.
President Trump has been citing progress in those negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, also stressing his own personal involvement in those talks. From Iran, more mixed messages on their progress. Some hardliners making extreme demands, they say, must be met before any deal is made. Some commentators say even if Iran does sign a deal, they may not uphold what they sign.
How is President Trump influencing the Senate to pass the Save America Act?
A key sticking point will be controlled. Control over the Strait of Hormuz, how much leverage could Iran have both in controlling the type of ships that pass through and possibly leveling fees or transit payments on those ships? That's something the U.S. has rejected.
As the midterms quickly approach, President Trump keeps up the pressure for the Senate to pass the election altering bill, the Save America Act. Vice President J. D. Vance tells Fox News.
Why is the Save America Act’s voter‑ID and citizenship proof provision controversial?
The President's priority right now is to get the Save America Act passed. I think it's absurd that we're the most advanced democracy in the entire world and yet we don't have voter ID that really has to change.
In addition to photo IDs, the measure would require proof of citizenship to register. Democrats opposed the bill, saying it would make it harder for eligible Americans to register, including married women who changed their names, which no longer match their birth certificates. House passed the bill in February. Senators in Washington left for their August recess without taking action. And the Senate narrowly confirmed Todd Blanche's attorney general taking a final vote. Yeah.
What short‑term spending bill did senators approve before the August recess?
On this vote, the yeys are fifty, the nays are forty nine. Every Senate Democrat voted against him, joined by Republicans Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. America's listening to Fox News.
Just before leaving for their August break, Senators passed a short-term spending bill aimed at averting a government shutdown just before the midterms. High profile Democrats are rallying behind Progressive Senate candidate Abdul Al Saed in Michigan this weekend after his primary victory, and he also picked up an endorsement from former vice president Kamala Harris.
Democrats know they need to come together in this crucial Senate race that could determine control of the upper chamber in November. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Budaj, gubernatorial nominee Jocelyn Benson, and Abdul El Sayyed held a rally last night where they attempted to bridge the divisions after a bitter primary.
Sayed's opponent Haley Stevens appeared to perform better with black voters and rural and low income areas. Jewish voters are also politically lost, worried that El Sayed's criticism of Israel may contribute to anti Semitism in the country.
Fox says Madeline Rivera reporting. A bill aimed at preventing federal agencies from buying, deploying, or accessing certain mass surveillance and identification systems is before Congress. Republican Congressman Tim Burchette of Tennessee introduced the bill called the Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act and tells Fox News.
They're surveilling every portion of our of our of our being.
And Spider Man is swinging to another massive weekend at the box office.
