GOP senator reveals why Trump’s ‘complete and total endorsement’ will be crucial for his midterm race

Ohio GOP Sen. Jon Husted, who was sworn in as a Senator less than three months ago, spoke to Fox News Digital about receiving the «complete and total» endorsement of President Donald Trump to run again next year.
«When Governor DeWine appointed me to the U.S. Senate, I promised that if I took the job, that I would run to keep the job and then this week, President Trump really gave me a big boost when he announced on True Social that he was endorsing me, that I had his complete and total endorsement,» Husted, who was recently appointed to replace now-Vice President JD Vance in the U.S. Senate, told Fox News Digital.
«He said a lot of really kind things about me,» Husted continued. «And that was a great boost to the work that we’re going to do, because President Trump has been the decisive factor in the last two U.S. Senate races in Ohio.»
Husted must run again next year in a special election to earn the right to serve out the rest of Vance’s term, which runs through 2028.

Trump’s endorsement of Vance was widely considered the moment that put him over the top when he won the Ohio Senate seat in 2022. Trump’s endorsement was also a key factor in GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno’s toppling of longtime Dem. Sen. Sherrod Brown in November.
«President Trump has won Ohio three times, and I’ve been a candidate and won statewide four times,» Husted said. «So the combination of my work and President Trump’s endorsement is a big boost to my election prospects.»
Husted told Fox News Digital that «a lot’s happened» since he was sworn into office.

«I’ve never worked in Washington, but this is really a record pace for the U.S. Senate in getting a president’s confirmations done,» Husted said. «We’ve also got the reconciliation package through both the House and the Senate, which is gonna set forth the process for getting President Trump’s agenda accomplished on preserving tax cuts for working families and small businesses, towards securing the border and deporting illegal immigrant criminals.»
«All of those things are important priorities of the presidents, and we’ve leaned in hard. We’ve spent sometimes into the weekends working to get that agenda accomplished, so President Trump and the Republican team could be successful. And that’s my introduction to the U.S. Senate, and I look forward to continuing to serve.»
It is unclear who Husted will be running against in next year’s election, although some have speculated that Brown, who was defeated by Moreno in November, could be interested.
Husted told Fox News Digital he is not «worried» about who his opponent will be in a race that will be closely watched given the 53-47 GOP majority in the Senate.
«I just take care of my own work and what that means is spending time with the people of the state of Ohio, going to Washington, getting my work done there, and delivering on the promise of the America first agenda which means securing our border, installing common sense values, making sure that men aren’t playing women’s sports, and invading their locker rooms,» Husted said.
«It’s also focused on the economy, doing Made in America, because you can’t do Made in America without Made in Ohio, because we are the heart of it all. We make the things that people need to live and thrive. And if you can put all those things together, a great campaign, work hard, deliver on the policies, that’s good politics and that will result in an election victory.»

Trump posted on Truth Social last week that Husted is a «wonderful man» that is «doing an incredible job.»
«Jon Husted has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!»
Husted spoke to Fox News Digital about what he hopes he and the GOP Senate will continue to accomplish in the next 100 days, which includes the president’s tax package, balancing the budget, restoring fiscal sanity and adding some «predictability» to the tax code.
«I also want to bring my own game to the Senate by showing people the work that we did in regulatory reform in Ohio,» Husted said.
«We eliminated 5 million of 17 million words in the Ohio regulatory code. I want to do that for America. I wanna use the AI tools that we used in Ohio to do regulatory reform at the nation’s capital. If you looked at the federal regulatory code, it would be 35 feet tall if it were a book, and it would take you over three years to read. I wanna cut that down. I wanna make the regulatory code make sense to people so that average Americans can actually use it and understand it. And that will unleash the American spirit of entrepreneurship, save people time and money.»

Científicos alertaron sobre la erosión acelerada de los arrecifes de coral del Caribe por el cambio climático

Los arrecifes de coral del Caribe, que han protegido costas y sustentaron la biodiversidad durante miles de años, afrontan actualmente un futuro incierto. Un equipo internacional de especialistas advirtió que estas formaciones ya no logran crecer al ritmo del aumento del nivel del mar, lo que acentuó la exposición de millones de habitantes y de infraestructuras costeras en la región.
Chris T. Perry, de la Universidad de Exeter, lideró el análisis publicado en la revista Nature junto a colegas de México, Nueva Zelanda, Francia, Japón y Estados Unidos, tras más de 25 años de relevamientos “para comprender las formas en que las comunidades arrecifales están cambiando y cómo esto afecta su capacidad para seguir creciendo”.
El crecimiento vertical de los arrecifes caribeños se redujo de un promedio histórico de 4 a 5 milímetros anuales a menos de 1 milímetro por año. Esta disminución, según explicaron los autores del estudio, T. Perry, Christopher Cornwall, profesor en Te Herenga Waka y Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip, profesor de Ecología Marina en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM en un articulo en The Conversation, derivó de décadas de sobrepesca, enfermedades y contaminación, intensificadas por el impacto del calentamiento global. Los especialistas advirtieron que “los arrecifes del Caribe están alcanzando un punto donde ya no podrán igualar el ritmo del aumento del nivel del mar. Esto afectará su capacidad de proteger las costas de la energía de las olas, poniendo en riesgo los hábitats cercanos a la costa”.
A partir de proyecciones actualizadas, para 2040 más del 70% de los arrecifes del Caribe registrarían procesos de erosión. Si el calentamiento global supera los 2 °C respecto de los niveles previos a la era industrial, la cifra saltó al 99% para 2100.
El estudio enfatizó el fuerte vínculo entre las emisiones globales y la capacidad de los arrecifes para mantener su elevación. La investigación examinó más de 400 sitios arrecifales actuales y fósiles en el Caribe, con especial foco en zonas de Florida, México y Bonaire. Los registros se compararon con datos históricos y simulaciones climáticas a futuro.
“Históricamente, los arrecifes crecieron hacia arriba a un ritmo capaz de igualar los cambios en el nivel del mar. Nuestro estudio descubrió que el promedio de crecimiento bajó a menos de 1 milímetro por año, sólo un centímetro por década”, resumieron los investigadores.

Las proyecciones bajo los escenarios actuales de políticas y emisiones apuntaron a un incremento global de temperatura de 2,7 °C hacia fin de siglo, lo que llevó a una subida del mar de 8 a 10 milímetros anuales para 2100. Según los modelos difundidos por Nature, hacia 2060 los arrecifes recibirían entre 30 y 40 centímetros de agua adicional por encima de su estructura, y en 2100 esa cifra podría superar los 70 centímetros o alcanzar hasta 1,2 metros bajo trayectorias de altas emisiones.
El papel de los arrecifes de coral como “rompeolas vivos” perdería efectividad a medida que la profundidad sobre las formaciones aumentó. Esto, advirtieron los equipos de Perry y Alvarez-Filip, derivaría en “más riesgo de inundaciones a lo largo de las costas protegidas por arrecifes y cambios en la hidrodinámica y los ecosistemas cercanos a la costa”.
5,3 millones de personas y activos costeros valorados en más de 100.000 millones de dólares cada década dependen en parte de los servicios de protección que ofrecen los arrecifes, según lo que difundieron los autores.
El estudio precisó que la estructura arrecifal, que antes disipó energía de las olas y limitó daños por tormentas, redujo marcadamente esa función. “Perder la estructura arrecifal significa también perder biodiversidad y exponer las costas a un riesgo creciente”, sostuvieron los especialistas.
El estudio evaluó la viabilidad de la restauración coralina en escala. Los investigadores señalaron avances en pequeños sectores, donde la siembra de corales resistentes o adaptados al calor permitió recuperar cierto crecimiento.
Las estimaciones en Nature subrayaron que “las estrategias de restauración solo podrían atenuar el impacto del aumento del nivel del mar en unos 30 o 40 centímetros, y sólo junto a una fuerte mitigación climática”. El equipo calculó que para reproducir las tasas de crecimiento previas, se necesitaría que el coral Acropora palmata cubriera al menos un 35 al 40% del área o que coral masivo y ramificado ocupara entre un 60 y 70%. Las actuales tasas de cobertura están muy por debajo de estos valores.
El estudio amplió el análisis a ecosistemas ligados a los arrecifes como los manglares y los pastizales marinos, que también brindaron estabilidad costera. La declaración de los investigadores resalta: “Los arrecifes de coral son los canarios en la mina de carbón del clima. Si permitimos que su degradación continúe, no se detendrá ahí. Luego serán las costas, los sistemas alimentarios y las comunidades”.

After backpedaling on threatening rhetoric, Newsom says his political strategy is unchanged

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters Charlie Kirk’s assassination has not changed the way he plans to approach campaigning, even after dropping a threatening name for an upcoming anti-Trump campaign.
The rally was originally called the «FAFO50» campaign, a reference to the phrase «F— around and find out,» which is a slang warning meaning «if you keep doing something, you’ll regret it.»
«DONALD TRUMP IS F—— AROUND. NOW HE’LL FIND OUT,» the campaign’s marketing materials read before they were changed, according to archived images of the campaign’s website, as well as screenshots from the campaign’s official X account. The website for the campaign, which is aimed at passing an anti-gerrymandering ballot measure called Proposition 50, was ultimately changed from «FAFO50.com» to «YesOn50Live.com.»
«FAFO» messaging on the campaign’s website and social media account was also removed, and a related event was subsequently referred to as a «Voter Registration Day Rally» on the campaign’s social media.

During an event promoting a new initiative to improve the well-being of young men and boys on Tuesday, Newsom was asked whether the rebrand was part of a changing calculus for the governor on how he intends to approach campaigning going forward.
«No,» Newsom insisted. «Because I’m the same guy that walked on the tarmac with Donald Trump. I’m the same guy that would pick up his phone call. I’m the same person that sat down not just with Charlie Kirk, but with Steve Bannon, with the guy who created this space, you know, ‘Language, Borders and Culture,’ Michael Savage, back in the ’90s, you know, was the dominant voice on talk radio. The person that sat down with Newt Gingrich, who was one of the leaders of my recall. I’m that same person.»
Newsom’s response followed a different question about the California governor’s new initiative supporting young men and boys. The governor was asked whether Kirk’s death played any role, or inspired the governor, in shaping the newly announced initiative, which builds on efforts Newsom initiated through a statewide executive order he signed earlier this summer.
«I appreciate the question. I mean, I believe in civility. I believe in an open hand, not a closed fist,» Newsom responded. «I just think, at the end of the day — I said it inside a moment ago — divorce is not an option, period. Full stop. We’ve got to live together, across our differences, and there are a lot of differences in this state, this nation, for that matter, the world we’re trying to build.»

The nature of political discourse in the United States has become a major point of debate following Kirk’s assassination that occurred last week. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have called on others to «turn down the heat» in the wake of Kirk’s assassination.
NEWSOM WARNS AMERICANS ‘YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COUNTRY’ UNDER TRUMP AT CALIFORNIA SUMMIT
The Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) put out a call for «the media, leftist groups, and sanctuary politicians» on Wednesday to tone down the «hateful rhetoric» targeting immigration enforcement officers, arguing it has contributed to «political violence in our country and a more than 1000% increase in assaults against our brave ICE law enforcement.»
«This demonization is inspiring violence across the country,» Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin warned. «We have to turn down the temperature before someone else is killed.»
One example cited by DHS were comments by Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, a member of the cohort of progressive lawmakers on Capitol Hill known as «the squad.» During an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, Crockett likened ICE officers to slave catchers. «As someone who understands history, when I see ICE, I see slave patrols,» Crockett said.

Meanwhile, rhetoric from Newsom’s «Voter Registration Day Rally» similarly likened Republican-led redistricting efforts to «pre-Jim Crow» era policies.
«It’s about knowing that you can walk outside your home and not be detained and deported, not be lynched, because of the color of your skin,» California state legislator, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, said during the Tuesday night virtual rally promoting her state’s Proposition 50. «[Republicans] are doing every single thing that they can to take us back to pre-Jim Crow. And I am not being hyperbolic.»
Fox News Digital did not receive a response after reaching out to Newsom’s office and campaign team to see if the governor, or any of his representatives, wanted to comment further about the decision to rebrand Tuesday night’s event promoting Proposition 50 and the broader issue of inflammatory political rhetoric following Kirk’s assassination.
