Florida GOP candidate reveals why ‘amazing’ fundraising haul and key Trump moves suggest midterm ‘optimism’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November.
Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate.
As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is «very pleased» with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors
«We’re very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation,» Singer said. «I think it’s going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They’re upset with the progress of Congress.»

With most pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold a razor-thin majority in the House and tight majority in the Senate along with historical headwinds, Singer says he sees «great reason for optimism» as he campaigns in his race.
«We have a strong economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict,» Singer explained. «Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation.»
VOTERS SAY REPUBLICANS OUTDO DEMOCRATS ON THESE KEY ISSUES: FOX NEWS POLL
Singer continued, «President Trump and the administration have done so much to bring prices down across the board, and cutting regulations will continue to do that. The biggest tax cut in American history is reaching American taxpayers right now, with huge refunds going to individuals and the average refund for 12 million small businesses of $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.»
Singer told Fox News Digital the GOP is now the «party of the middle» class thanks to tax-cutting policies for tips and overtime, and said he believes those «real benefits» will continue to take effect over the next year.

«I think people are going to be more optimistic,» Singer said. «If you look at so many objective indicators and not the panic that some media outlets put out there, things are great and when you interview voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would have us buy into comments about personality, it really affects what we’re doing on paychecks and what we are doing on the border.»
Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controlling margins in nearly a century, with Democrats widely believed to be holding an edge, especially given the party in power historically sees losses in midterm elections.
Aggressive redistricting by both parties in states across the country has complicated the situation even further.
Democrats have been hammering President Trump and the Republican Party on high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«Florida Republicans knew they couldn’t win on their cost-raising, billionaire-first, wildly unpopular agenda that’s crushing working families and small businesses, which is why they’re desperate to gerrymander the maps and rig the midterms,» DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said. «Any Republican who claims the GOP’s price-spiking policies are popular only proves the fact they have no idea what voters are feeling right now.»

Biden-appointed judge orders Trump to restore slavery, climate change references at national parks
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Biden-appointed federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore exhibits and other materials at national parks that highlighted slavery, climate change and other leftist ideology after they were removed under a directive targeting displays deemed disparaging to America.
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts, appointed to the federal bench by former President Joe Biden in 2021, issued a preliminary injunction Friday requiring the administration to reverse the changes and pause any further removals amid legal challenges.
The move comes amid the America 250 celebrations that will crescendo on July 4.
The Interior Department in a statement called Kelley a «liberal activist judge» and said it was reviewing its options to appeal its removal of what Secretary Doug Burgum rebuked as «improper partisan ideology.»

«This ruling is from a liberal activist judge,» an Interior spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Sunday. «The Department will look at our appeal options while we celebrate UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House this weekend in honor of our nation’s 250th with the greatest president in the history of our country – President Donald J. Trump.»
Trump’s March 27, 2025 executive order, «Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,» sought to restore American heritage to national parks and monuments that were «changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history» after the race riots of 2020 that might have ultimately helped fuel Biden’s election.
Trump ordered Interior to «take action, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law,» to ensure that all U.S. government descriptions and depictions do not «inappropriately disparage Americans past or living» – instead putting «focus on the greatness» of America.
While Kelley wrote that the plaintiffs had shown the administration’s actions were meant «to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen,» Trump said he had issued the order because of the «false reconstruction» of U.S. history under Biden, the president who appointed her.

Removing the disparagement of Americans and highlighting of U.S. greatness set a «dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization,» according to Kelley.

The judge also ordered the administration to file weekly status reports detailing its progress in restoring the affected materials.
Among the materials Burgum’s Interior removed were an exhibit at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park describing the ownership of enslaved people by George Washington, the nation’s first president, and signage detailing climate threats at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.

«Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths,» Kelley wrote.
Trump signed the executive order to work to «restoring truth and sanity to American history» at the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks. Burgum later directed the removal of what he called «improper partisan ideology» from museums, monuments, landmarks and other public exhibits under federal control.
«Museums in our nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,» the Trump order read.

«What we were left, like virtually every Cabinet agency, was a complete mess from the Biden administration,» Burgum told Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on «Saturday in America,» vowing that he is «cleaning up the mess that’s been left with us.»

Panamá fue designada oficialmente como sede regional de la conmemoración del Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre 2026, distinción que posiciona al país como referente en los esfuerzos para fortalecer los sistemas de sangre segura y avanzar hacia modelos sustentados en la donación voluntaria, altruista y recurrente.
Cada 14 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre, como un homenaje al nacimiento de Karl Landsteiner, el científico austríaco que descubrió los grupos sanguíneos y recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 1930 por sus aportes fundamentales a la transfusión segura de sangre
El Ministerio de Salud, la Caja de Seguro Social y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) formaron una alianza orientada a fortalecer la gobernanza, el financiamiento y la coordinación de los servicios de sangre, garantizando una respuesta más eficiente y equitativa a las necesidades de la población.
Julio Arosemena, viceministro encargado de Salud, insistió en la necesidad existente de que más personas se conviertan en donantes voluntarios y periódicos, destacando que la disponibilidad de sangre segura es fundamental para la atención de emergencias, cirugías, tratamientos oncológicos y otras intervenciones médicas.
Anualmente, el país pasa por periodos en que las autoridades sanitarias deben hacer llamados a la población para que acuda a donar sangre, que en muchas ocasiones tiende a escasear.
Erika Zhong, jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud, recordó que una sola unidad de sangre puede salvar hasta tres vidas adultas o hasta ocho vidas pediátricas, mediante el aprovechamiento de sus diferentes componentes.
Una nota del Ministerio de Salud indica que la especialista señaló que uno de los principales desafíos del país es reducir la dependencia de los donantes de reposición y consolidar una cultura de donación voluntaria y recurrente que garantice reservas suficientes durante todo el año.
La jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud indicó que «la sangre no se puede fabricar; su disponibilidad depende exclusivamente de la solidaridad de las personas que deciden donar voluntariamente».
Durante una actividad conmemorativa del día del donante de sangre, las autoridades de salubridad coincidieron en señalar la necesidad de fortalecer la articulación entre las instituciones públicas, el sector privado y los organismos internacionales para optimizar la captación, distribución y uso de los componentes sanguíneos.
Ana Rivière-Cinnamond, representante de la OPS/OMS en Panamá, destacó la importancia de promover la donación voluntaria y recurrente como una acción capaz de salvar la vida de quienes más lo necesitan, según el Ministerio de Salud.
Destacó el lema de la campaña 2026: «Una gota de humanidad. Donemos sangre. Salvemos vidas“, un mensaje que pone en el centro la solidaridad humana y el impacto que puede generar cada donación.
La directora nacional de los Servicios de Salud de la Caja de Seguro Social, Marlin Cedeño, destacó que cada donación representa una oportunidad de vida para pacientes que requieren transfusiones debido a cirugías, accidentes o enfermedades que demandan componentes sanguíneos.
Cada unidad de sangre donada puede beneficiar hasta a tres pacientes, ya que de ella se obtienen componentes esenciales como glóbulos rojos empacados, plaquetas y plasma fresco congelado, los cuales son distribuidos según las necesidades médicas de cada paciente en los hospitales de la red institucional.
Como parte de la conmemoración, se desarrollaron jornadas simultáneas de donación voluntaria en distintos puntos del país, con el propósito de fortalecer las reservas nacionales y fomentar una cultura solidaria que contribuya a salvar vidas.
