Every Pa. lawmaker in U.S. House votes to release Jeffrey Epstein records after Trump’s reversal Pennsylvania lawmakers from both sides of the aisle supported the release of the Epstein files after Republicans initially tried to avoid taking a vote on the matter.

Rep. Rob Bresnahan was hesitant to answer whether any of the mentions of Trump concern him.

“I saw some of the email threads; a lot of it was snippet. I don’t know where it came from,” said Bresnahan, who represents a swing district.

“I want to look at the whole comprehensive picture,” he added.

Dave McCormick says John Fetterman will ‘probably’ leave hospital Saturday as GOP floods the Democrat with well wishes Dave McCormick, Karoline Leavitt and Mehmet Oz were among those sending good vibes to the Democratic senator after he was hospitalized this week after a heart issue caused him to fall.

Dave McCormick said John Fetterman will "probably" leave the hospital tomorrow AM, saying he's a "force of good ... common sense vote."

GOP leaders have flooded Fetterman with well wishes as he recovers, but his Democratic colleagues haven't necessarily been as enthusiastic (at least publicly).

Why did Jack Ciattarelli do so much worse than everyone expected? These N.J. Republicans have some theories. Democrat Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor's race by more than 13 points.

Jack Ciattarelli did so much worse than everyone expected -- it wasn't just Republicans. The chair of the DNC told me just days before the election he expected a close race. Experts said both candidates had a plausible path.

Obvi, Trump was at play -- here's what else Republicans think happened.

Unaffiliated voters could swing the N.J. governor’s race. Here’s what some of them think of the candidates. About 36% of the state’s electorate is unaffiliated, and another 1% are registered with third parties.

In tomorrow's election for New Jersey's governor, the state's unaffiliated voters are young, undecided and — according to both campaigns — crucial to its outcome: share.inquirer.com/w971PD w/ @aliyareports.bsky.social

Barack Obama rallies with Mikie Sherrill as part of final pitch for turnout Obama told the audience that voting for Sherrill would 'put New Jersey on a path to a better future.'

Former President Barack Obama rallied in Newark on Saturday for U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, the Democratic nominee for New Jersey governor.

Obama and other campaign surrogates kept President Donald Trump and GOP nominee Jack Ciattarelli’s alignment with him front and center in their remarks.

Jack Ciattarelli is betting on a red wave in South Jersey. Will that be enough to win? Jack Ciattarelli has been working to convince South Jersey voters that he’s different — and he needs them to beat Mikie Sherrill in the governor's race on Nov. 4.

“Here’s one of the big differences between me and my opponent: I know where the hell Hammonton is."

It’s one of Jack Ciattarelli's signature lines of attack against Democratic nominee Mikie Sherrill.

Ciattarelli needs South Jersey voters to win the election. Will they push him to victory?

Analysis shows both NJ candidates are bringing in the majority of their donations from the wealthiest and whitest sections of the state.

“People move from all over the country to New Jersey because it’s known as a safe haven for LGBTQ rights,” said L.B., who is using her initials to protect her child’s privacy. “And now, if Jack Ciattarelli wins, it could become a state that people have to flee from.” #NJGov

These parents wish Mikie Sherrill would defend their transgender kids. They understand why she doesn’t. U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has been quiet on transgender rights in the New Jersey governor's race as Republican Jack Ciattarelli has spoken out against protections for trans youth.

How gender is playing out in the race for New Jersey governor Democrat Mikie Sherrill has maintain a significant advantage with women, but Republican Jack Ciattarelli appears to be solidifying support with men as November approaches.

Women are key to Mikie Sherrill’s lead in the race, but it’s not necessarily because she’s a woman.

Also: Her strong performance with women has been consistent throughout Quinnipiac's recent polls, but Ciattarelli may be solidifying & growing support with men.

Republicans in the race took his arrest as an opportunity to go on offense.

Sherrill has stood out among the candidates in the crowded Democratic primary for teaming up with influencers and content creators on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and even Substack. She also hosted an “Ask me anything” session on Reddit. But it wasn’t until recently that she got on TikTok herself.
