Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday picked up the endorsement of fellow Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt for the GOP’s 2024 presidential primary — marking a key endorsement for DeSantis as he seeks to replace former President Donald Trump as the frontrunner. "Governor DeSantis is a strong conservative and principled leader, and I am proud to endorse him for president," Stitt, the governor of Oklahoma, said in a statement. Stitt praised DeSantis’ handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that the Florida governor "did not surrender states’ rights and individual liberties over to groupthink." DESANTIS SAYS TRUMP A VICTIM OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ‘WEAPONIZATION’ UNDER BIDEN  "In this election cycle, Oklahomans will remember that DeSantis was one of the few who never backed down in the face of adversity, because DeSantis operated with dogged conviction and shared our values for a limited government and free country," he said. Stitt went on to praise DeSantis as ...

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday tore into the federal indictment accusing him of mishandling classified documents, accusing Democrats of a "political hit job" against him as he alleged a double standard in the administration of justice. "They took one charge, and they made it 36 different times. And we have a thug who is in charge. This is a political hit job, Republicans are treated far differently at the Justice Department than Democrats," he said in the speech at the Georgia Republican state convention. The 2024 front-runner was indicted Friday on 37 federal counts, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements. TRUMP TO MAKE FIRST SPEECH SINCE FEDERAL INDICTMENT OVER CLASSIFIED DOCS The remarks mark his first public remarks since the indictment.

EXCLUSIVE: The president of the Navajo Nation told Fox News Digital that he has ordered the tribe's attorney general to weigh legal action following the Biden administration's oil-leasing ban impacting Navajo citizens. Buu Nygren, the president of the Navajo Nation, a federally recognized tribe in the U.S. southwest, said that the Navajo Justice Department was considering pursuing litigation after Interior Secretary Deb Haaland's recent order, and he plans to protest her upcoming visit to the reservation on Sunday. Last week, Haaland banned oil, gas and mineral leasing within 10 miles of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico for 20 years, an action strongly opposed by nearby Navajo communities. "To totally disregard those local communities — it's unfair," Nygren told Fox News Digital in an interview Saturday. "There's no need to celebrate putting people into poverty, to celebrate undermining the Navajo Nation's...

James Watt, the Reagan administration’s sharp-tongued, pro-development interior secretary who was admired by conservatives but ran afoul of environmentalists, Beach Boys fans and eventually the president, has died. He was 85. Watt died in Arizona on May 27, son Eric Watt said in a statement Thursday. In an administration divided between so-called pragmatists and hardliners, few stood as far to the right at the time as Watt, who once labeled the environmental movement as "preservation vs. people" and the general public as a clash between "liberals and Americans." FORMER PENNSYLVANIA CONGRESSMAN, 'KING OF ASPHALT' BUD SHUSTER DEAD AT 91 In that sense, Watt foreshadowed combative Interior secretaries like Ryan Zinke and David Bernhardt, who, like Watt, aggressively pushed to grant oil, gas and coal leases on public land, increase offshore drilling and limit expansion of national parks and monuments. "While no one’s death should be celebrated, he was ...
