NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears will receive a big boost from a top national conservative figure in her quest to succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin in November, Fox News Digital has learned exclusively.
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the original «DOGE» leaders in President Donald Trump’s circle, plans to rally with and endorse her at an event in Chesterfield next week.
Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital that Earle-Sears will «lead Virginia to new heights.»
«Winning in 2024 was the first step, but soon it’s going to be up to the states to lead the way,» Ramaswamy said.

«I look forward to leading Ohio soon, and we want a coalition of strong states to join us in reviving a new American Dream.»
Earle-Sears, who will join Ramaswamy in the Richmond suburb on September 19, said she is «honored» to have the entrepreneur join her in the commonwealth.
«Vivek and I share a deep belief in the promise of America, that with hard work, faith, and freedom, every family can thrive,» she said.
Earle-Sears called Ramaswamy a «strong voice for freedom, opportunity, and common sense.»
«I’m grateful for his friendship and partnership in this fight. It means so much to welcome him to Virginia as we stand shoulder to shoulder, working to deliver a brighter, safer, and stronger future for every Virginian family.»
The Republican nominee, locked in a close fight with former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who leads by a handful of points, has also received key endorsements from figures like Youngkin, while pledging to continue the economic successes of the current administration.

Earle-Sears also has made her personal story a hallmark of her campaign – often quipping that she might seem like she should be the stereotypical Democrat, though she is anything but.
«I look like the kind of people who really do normally vote Democratic, and I’m not. And so I’m appealing to all voters,» she said in a recent interview.
«My message is a common-sense message that no matter where you came from in life, no matter what color you are, no matter what country you came from, when you came to America and you tried and here you are succeeding, that’s what we need.»
«Here I stand, second-in-command in the former capital of the Confederacy,» Earle-Sears, who is Black and an immigrant from Jamaica, added. «Don’t tell me America hasn’t changed.»
The Ramaswamy event will be held in the home district of state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in the 2025 race.
Chesterfield County, outside Petersburg, is considered a bellwether in statewide contests. Once reliably Republican for decades, it has trended Democratic since the 2000s with an influx of younger and more diverse voters from the Richmond-Petersburg metro.

Hillary Clinton lost it by about one percentage point in 2016. Former President Joe Biden then flipped the county in 2020 – but Youngkin won it in 2021, before former Vice President Kamala Harris beat Trump there by about nine points in 2024.
The area is best known as the namesake of a historic cigarette brand, and home of several athletes, including New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor, basketball player Moses Malone, and NASCAR star Denny Hamlin.
In Ramaswamy’s own race, he recently received the endorsement of the Ohio Republican Party, which led Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost to drop out of the primary.
Current Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel – a retired coaching icon at Ohio State University – is also considering jumping in on the Republican side.
Former Sen. Sherrod Brown elected to pursue his old Senate seat rather than focus on Columbus, and former Rep. Tim Ryan is also considering a run against current Democratic primary candidate, ex-Ohio Health Director Amy Acton.
Recent polling trends showed Ramaswamy leading both Acton and Ryan in the general election – should the latter jump into the fray.

Donald Trump advirtió que las negociaciones sobre Gaza son “intensas” y que continuarán hasta lograr un acuerdo de paz
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmó este viernes que las negociaciones sobre la situación en Gaza con países de Medio Oriente son de una intensidad significativa y que tanto Israel como el grupo terrorista palestino Hamas están al tanto de los avances, según declaraciones que realizó en la plataforma Truth Social.
El líder de la Casa Blanca indicó que las conversaciones continuarán el tiempo que sea necesario para alcanzar un acuerdo satisfactorio, en el marco de la ofensiva israelí contra Hamas en la Franja de Gaza.
Durante los últimos días, Trump se reunió con líderes y funcionarios de varias naciones de mayoría musulmana para debatir el conflicto en Gaza. Según explicó el enviado especial estadounidense Steve Witkoff, el mandatario presentó a esos dirigentes una propuesta de paz de 21 puntos para la región.
“Las negociaciones han sido intensas durante cuatro días y seguirán tanto tiempo como sea necesario para lograr un acuerdo plenamente exitoso. Todos los países de la región están involucrados”, escribió Trump. El mandatario subrayó que Hamas está “muy al tanto” de las discusiones y que Israel ha sido informado “en todos los niveles”, aunque no ofreció más detalles y calificó el proceso como “inspirado y productivo”.
El jefe de Estado había prometido una pronta resolución de la guerra, pero ochos meses después del inicio de su mandato, el conflicto persiste. Trump asumió en un contexto de alto el fuego de dos meses entre Israel y Hamas que culminó cuando se reanudaron los bombardeos israelíes el 18 de marzo. Funcionarios estadounidenses manifestaron esta semana que se espera un avance importante en Gaza.
Por otra parte, Trump declaró este viernes ante la prensa en la Casa Blanca su confianza en que pronto se alcanzará un pacto para poner fin a la guerra en Gaza. “Parece que tenemos un acuerdo; será uno que permitirá recuperar a los rehenes y pondrá fin a la guerra”, manifestó.
El presidente turco Recep Tayyip Erdogan comunicó que durante su visita a Nueva York, en el marco de la Asamblea General de la ONU, alcanzó un “entendimiento” con Trump sobre un alto el fuego en Gaza, tras una reunión bilateral en la Casa Blanca.
En una comparecencia a bordo del avión presidencial de regreso a Turquía, el mandatario resaltó su apoyo a la visión de Trump para una paz global. Explicó que ambos están “a favor de detener cuanto antes el derramamiento de sangre” y expresó su esperanza de que “pronto se produzca algún cambio” en el conflicto israelí-palestino.
Erdogan mencionó que los dos presidentes compartieron la necesidad de un cese permanente del fuego y trabajaron en la definición de estrategias para lograr primero una interrupción de los ataques y, posteriormente, una paz duradera. El mandatario afirmó haber logrado un consenso con Trump al respecto, de acuerdo con informaciones publicadas por el diario Hurriyet.
El mandatario turco recordó la buena relación que ha mantenido con Trump desde su primer mandato y confió en la posibilidad de alcanzar resoluciones positivas en el marco de la cooperación entre ambos países, basada en el respeto mutuo y la comunicación clara. No obstante, reconoció que persisten dificultades para resolver cuestiones complejas y advirtió que los avances no dependen de una sola reunión, aunque el reciente encuentro permitirá avances futuros en varios ámbitos.

UN Security Council rejects China-Russia resolution extending Iran nuclear sanctions relief before deadline
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The United Nations on Friday failed to adopt a resolution brought by China and Russia that would have extended sanctions relief for Iran for another six months under the nuclear deal.
The vote was 4 to 9, with Algeria, China, Pakistan and Russia in favor and Denmark, France, Greece, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Somalia, the United Kingdom and the United States against.
Guyana and South Korea abstained.
The vote came after Britain, France and Germany triggered the deal’s «snapback» measure, which reinstates sanctions on Iran following stalled talks on its nuclear program.

The sanctions, which will go into effect unless there’s a last-minute deal Friday, will include freezing Iranian assets abroad, halting arms deals with Tehran and penalizing any development of Iran’s ballistic missile program.
«We had hoped that European colleagues and the U.S. would think twice, and they would opt for the path of diplomacy and dialogue instead of their clumsy blackmail, which merely results in escalation of the situation in the region,» Dmitry Polyanskiy, deputy Russian ambassador to the U.N., said during the meeting.

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, had also been meeting with his French, German and British counterparts in the lead-up to the U.N. vote.
A European diplomat told The Associated Press the meeting «did not produce any new developments, any new results.»
On Tuesday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, also said Iran would not «surrender to pressure» and that negotiations with the U.S. would be a «dead end.»

Trump administration official physically assaulted at UNGA by ‘deranged leftist,’ White House says
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: A Trump administration official was physically assaulted by a «deranged leftist» inside the United Nations Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly, Fox News Digital has learned.
An official working in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA.
«An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,» White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital. «Thankfully, the official is safe, and the lunatic was arrested, but this is part of a disturbing and dangerous set of failures by the UN after their sabotage of President Trump ahead of and during his speech.»

Kelly told Fox News Digital that the U.S. Secret Service will investigate «how this violent protester was admitted into a major national security event.»
A source familiar told Fox News Digital that the individual has been charged with assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon. The individual was released from custody at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, the source said. The individual is expected in court next on Nov. 13.

«The UN must answer why these highly concerning incidents continue to happen against the president and his staff,» Kelly said.
«We are outraged that a member of the U.S. delegation was physically assaulted inside of UN Headquarters the afternoon of September 25,» a U.S. UN spokesperson told Fox News Digital. «This attack must be addressed swiftly, and consequences must be felt.»
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that «the UN itself recognizes that it has lost its way.»

«Now, it has devolved into an arena where an American delegation member is harassed and assaulted,» the spokesperson said. «If you can’t keep people safe in your own building, how can you claim to be the world’s diplomatic center?»
The spokesperson called the incident «unacceptable,» and told Fox News Digital that the United Nations «will use every available resource to support the U.S. Secret Service into their investigation of this incident.»
«We know the UN needs dramatic reform and now must also immediately implement a thorough review of the UN’s security operations,» the spokesperson said. «The UN’s failures are evident worldwide, and now in its own halls.»
The U.S. UN spokesperson added: «Enough is enough.»
The official recounted her experience of being followed, harassed, and physically assaulted inside the United Nations in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
The official told Fox News Digital that she was walking down the hallway at the UN when a woman began berating her and shining a bright light in her face.

«It was very disorienting,» the official said. «Once I took a step back and regained my footing, it didn’t stop. I realized what was happening. I realized I was being yelled at and that the light was also a recording device.»
The official tried to get away from the woman who was screaming derogatory and pro-Palestinian comments at her as she followed closely behind.

The official said the woman called her a «fascist» and a «Nazi.»
«The insults changed to specific insults,» the official said, telling Fox News Digital that she went into the women’s bathroom to get away, but that the woman kept following her.
«Her yelling turned into screaming—hyper-aggressive insults,» the official said.
The official tried to hide in a bathroom stall, but told Fox News Digital that the woman was pushing and trying to get into the stall. Once the official was able to close the door, the woman put the camera over the door of the bathroom stall to continue filming the official and screaming.

The official waited for the screaming to stop, and exited the stall, hoping the woman had left, but the woman was waiting for her at the door, and continued to follow her into the hallway, continuing to yell at her and shine the light in her face. Eventually, the official was able to get away.
The official told Fox News Digital the incident lasted approximately 10 minutes.
«It felt very political in nature,» she said. «Secretary Kennedy gets a tremendous number of bows and arrows and threats that he deals with, but it seems that it’s not enough, and it is trickling down.»
