Firm that propelled Mamdani to victory in NY looks to unseat House GOP members in PA
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The campaign firm that helped Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani spread his message in New York City is now turning its focus to vulnerable Republicans across the country.
Among other races, the firm has set its sights on defeating two vulnerable House Republicans in Pennsylvania: Reps. Rob Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie.
Fight Agency — a six-man crew with experience in over 300 winning elections — focuses on many of the issues Mamdani made a fixture of his campaign, like affordability and housing.
«If you’re doing everything right but finding it harder and harder to get by, you’re not alone. We know a simple truth about American life: the economy is not delivering enough for enough people. If the next forty years are like the last forty years, the American middle class will disappear,» the firm states on its website.
REPUBLICANS TARGET 2 KEY DEMOCRATIC RACES WITH MAMDANI CONNECTION STRATEGY

The balance of power in the House of Representatives is in a precarious position ahead of the 2026 midterms. With Republicans holding just a three-seat majority, even one or two key losses for Republicans could cut the legs out from under the GOP’s control over the chamber. Pennsylvania — home to both Bresnahan and Mackenzie — also makes up a key battleground state with several competitive districts. According to the Cook Political Report, the state has five competitive Republican-held districts all projected to be a five-point contest or less.
In that struggle, the Fight Agency’s leaders have come to the support of Paige Cognetti, a former mayor of Scranton, Pa., who is running to unseat Bresnahan. Bresnahan, a freshman lawmaker, won election to Congress in 2024 by just 1.6 percentage points.
«We can stand tall against a Washington that takes advantage of working people and makes it work for us,» Cognetti said in her launch video.
Rebecca Katz, the Fight Agency’s strategist for the election of Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., reposted Cognetti’s campaign ad in a post to X.
«If you can, pls chip in a few bucks and let’s get someone who cares about people in Congress,» Rebecca Katz wrote.
Cognetti, the former mayor, has also highlighted the firm’s other work, saying she was «proud to know these folks» in a repost showcasing the agency’s past campaigns.

Like in Cognetti’s campaign, the Fight Agency team is also supporting Bob Brooks and his race against Republican incumbent Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania. Mackenzie won election by a single percentage point in the last cycle.
«The biggest problem we face is a Washington that burns working people,» Brooks said in his campaign launch video. «I’m running for Congress in one of the closest districts to take on the billionaires and big corporations holding us back.»
Morris Katz, the firm’s lead on the Mamdani campaign, reposted Cognetti’s launch video alongside Fight Agency’s main account. Brooks has returned the favor, reposting Fight Agency’s productions in a Maine Senate race.

With Mamdani, the firm helped produce lighthearted content with a brighter, more comedic edge. In one video, the firm mimicked the style of «The Bachelor,» the TV romance show known for its match-making drama.
«New York, will you accept this rose?» Mamdani asked in the video.
In the past, the firm has supported Democrat candidates away from the mainstream of the party, gravitating towards either more progressive candidates or candidates with an unconventional streak.
Besides Mamdani, some of Fight Agency’s previous partners include Sen. Bernie Sanders,’ I-Vt., bid for president and Sen. John Fetterman’s 2021 campaign.

Today, some of their more high-profile current candidates include Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and Nebraska Senate hopeful Dan Osborn, both featured prominently on the firm’s website.
Fight Agency did not respond to a request for comment.

El Ejército de Israel asegura haber matado a unos 850 miembros del grupo chií Hezbollah en el Líbano, donde las autoridades elevan el total de fallecidos a alrededor de 1.250 desde que comenzaron los ataques israelíes al país.
“Hemos eliminado a más de 850 terroristas de Hezbollah. De ellos, 230 de la Fuerza Radwan (el cuerpo de élite de la organización)”, dijo durante una videoconferencia ante los medios el portavoz castrense Nadav Shoshani.
El Ministerio de Salud libanés elevó el lunes a 1.247 los muertos en el país por ataques israelíes, entre ellos 124 niños. En los últimos días Israel ha bombardeado hasta en tres ocasiones de forma deliberada ambulancias y centros médicos, matando a al menos 52 personas.
Otro ataque en el sur del Líbano mató recientemente a los periodistas Ali Shaib y Fatima y Mohamed Fatuni. Mientras que el Ejército israelí ha asegurado que el primero pertenecía a Hezbollah sin publicar pruebas verificables, aún no se ha pronunciado sobre los dos últimos.
El portavoz aseguró que el grupo chií ha disparado contra Israel hasta 5.000 municiones, entre drones, y misiles, que han matado hasta el momento a dos civiles israelíes en el norte del país.
Además, diez soldados han muerto en la operación terrestre en el sur del Líbano desde que Israel profundizó su invasión del sur del país hace un mes. Los últimos cuatro, anunciados este martes.
Hasta el momento, cinco divisiones del Ejército operan en el sur del Líbano, según el diario The Times of Israel: la 162 hace incursiones y la 146 tiene una posición defensiva en el área occidental; la 91 y la 36 mantienen ofensivas en la parte oriental y la 210 está posicionada en el Monte Dov (en la frontera entre los Altos del Golán sirios, ocupados, y el Líbano).
Una sexta, la 98 se prepara para desplegarse en el país vecino en el marco de la expansión anunciada por el Gobierno israelí de la “zona de seguridad” en el sur del Líbano, en referencia al territorio que ocupa militarmente para las operaciones de las tropas.
“En muchos casos actuamos en zonas fronterizas, pero en algunos casos llevamos a cabo redadas y operaciones selectivas en otras aldeas”, aseguró el portavoz.
Por su parte, el primer ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, ha afirmado este martes que la ofensiva lanzada a finales de febrero junto a Estados Unidos contra Irán se encuentra ya a “medio camino”, pero ha descartado matizar una fecha concreta para su fin.
En este sentido, ha aclarado durante una entrevista con la cadena de televisión estadounidense Newsmax que los objetivos de la guerra “se han superado más allá del ecuador” a pesar de rechazar “fijar un calendario” concreto para que los ataques terminen
Netanyahu ha insistido en que el objetivo principal de esta guerra son las “reservas de uranio enriquecido” de Irán y se ha mostrado optimista en lo referente a la ofensiva conjunta, la cual considera que “ha aportado avances significativos en el proceso de desmantelamiento de las capacidades iraníes”.
Además, ha aclarado que el objetivo “más importante” es “impedir que Teherán adquiera armas nucleares”. “Hemos superado el ecuador en cuanto al éxito de la misión”, ha recalcado, al tiempo que ha citado “éxitos” como el “debilitamiento de la infraestructura militar, nuclear e industrial de Irán”.
“Ya hemos mermado su capacidad balística, destruido fábricas y eliminado a científicos nucleares clave”, ha incidido el primer ministro israelí, que ha añadido que estos esfuerzos han hecho “retroceder de forma significativa las ambiciones” iraníes.
Es por ello que ha subrayado que la campaña militar “no solo tiene como objetivo debilitar a Irán en el presente sino también prevenir un futuro mucho más peligroso”. “Están buscando armas nucleares y los medios para lanzarlas contra ciudades estadounidenses”, ha advertido, no sin antes destacar que “de eso trata esta guerra, de evitar ese desenlace”.
El mandatario israelí ha aseverado que la fase actual de la operación se centra en “retirar el uranio enriquecido de Irán, un paso clave que podría detener de forma permanente su capacidad para fabricar un arma nuclear. La atención se centra en sus reservas de uranio enriquecido”, ha sostenido, al tiempo que ha matizado que el propio presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, ha exigido que el material sea retirado del país y entregado a terceros.

Trump’s proposed presidential library revealed as towering Miami skyscraper in striking new video
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A newly released animated video shows renderings of President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, featuring a soaring waterfront skyscraper and museum space.
Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, offering a first look at the proposed project, while his son, Eric Trump, posted it on X with additional details, describing the project as a «lasting testament» to his father and his legacy.
«Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,» Eric Trump wrote, adding that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to «an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.»
«These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!» he added.
Eric Trump has been leading the project’s development and serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

The video, set to dramatic orchestral music, opens with sweeping aerial shots of the proposed waterfront site, showing landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green spaces before revealing the towering glass structure.
It shows a tall glass tower topped with a spire, with Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the facade and a large American flag draped down the center. A presidential plane resembling Air Force One is showcased on the ground floor, alongside gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.
Additional renderings show military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a towering gold statue of Trump, a stage and large-scale digital displays.

The design also includes replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a planned ballroom.
The presidential library is set to be designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet voted in late September to transfer the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation.

The proposed site, located near Trump National Doral, was briefly tied up in a legal battle after a federal judge paused the land transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.
The Miami site is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and is adjacent to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for hundreds of thousands of Cubans who fled communism in the 1960s and 1970s and sought asylum in the United States. The 100-year-old structure is considered a symbol of the city’s vibrant immigrant heritage.
The site is surrounded by luxury high-rise apartment buildings and has waterfront views, facing directly toward the Kaseya Center, home to the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, where many of the world’s largest cruise liners dock.

The parcel was appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, but it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.
President Donald Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Trump Presidential Library Foundation’s other trustees are Tiffany Trump’s husband Michael Boulos and Trump attorney James Kiley.
