NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Two of the top Republicans in the solid red state of Ohio are endorsing each other, representing a move toward unity in the state where Republicans are hoping to win next November without President Trump on the ticket.
«I’m proud to back Jon Husted for U.S. Senate,» Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said in a press release alongside an event with Ohio Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Columbus on Monday night.
«Jon represents Ohio values, and he is a common-sense leader who I’ve known for years. He’s a fighter for our families and our freedoms, and he’ll carry Ohio’s voice to Washington without compromise.»
Husted reciprocated the sentiment by issuing his own endorsement of Ramaswamy’s campaign for the governorship in Ohio.

«Vivek has articulated bold ideas for our state, and I believe his vision for excellence aligns closely with the priorities Ohioans expect and deserve,» Husted said. «I’m proud to endorse my friend Vivek Ramaswamy to be the next Governor of Ohio.»
The press release touted Husted’s «reputation as Ohio’s common-sense public servant who streamlines government and expands opportunity» along with Ramaswamy’s «perspective of a successful entrepreneur who champions innovation and free markets.»
The two candidates together, the press release stated, represent a pairing that is «uniting Ohio around a strong mission for the state on the national stage.»
Husted, appointed to the U.S. Senate by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to replace Vice President JD Vance, is running for re-election against former Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown and Republicans across the country have circled the wagons in support of the freshman senator.

«After 50 years of living off the tax payer, losing an election by a wide margin with $300 million in out of state money, abandoning working Ohioans to be Chuck Schumer’s lap dog, and sucking up to coastal elites, it’s time for @SherrodBrown to just go away,» Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno, who defeated Brown last year despite entering the race as an underdog in the polls, said on X after Brown entered the race.
«Ohio is lucky to have @SenJonHusted in the Senate!,» Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan posted on X after Brown jumped in the race.
Husted, who has previously served as Ohio’s lieutenant governor and secretary of state, has Trump’s endorsement as he runs next year to fill the final two years of Vance’s six-year term.
Ramaswamy, a billionaire entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical sector, catapulted onto the political scene when he ran for president in 2024 before dropping out and endorsing Trump but continuing a push for the «America First» agenda as a surrogate. Ramaswamy had also stated an interest in being appointed to the Senate to replace Vance before Husted was appointed.
«One of my core areas of focus that I think is really resonating, is elevating the standards of educational achievement in our state,» Ramaswamy said earlier this year about his gubernatorial campaign.
«The No. 1 issue that I see resonating across the board, in a non-partisan manner, is the recognition that we are in the middle of this educational achievement crisis.»

Former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton is currently the leading Democrat in the governor’s race in Ohio, a state Trump carried by 11 points in 2024.
Ramaswamy and Husted endorsing each other represents a united Republican front between Husted, elevated to the Senate by DeWine, a longtime political stalwart viewed as an establishment figure, and Ramaswamy, who has taken up the mantle of the Republican «MAGA» base in Ohio.
RNC surrogate and Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke told Fox News Digital that «this kind of unity is rare» in «today’s political climate» and sends a «powerful message» that the Republican Party is a «big tent.»
«We don’t all have to look the same, speak the same, or even come from the same lane to believe in what’s best for Ohio,» Cooke said.
«Endorsements are more than just words on a press release—they are a testament to a shared belief that Ohio can and must lead. From excellence in our schools, to economic growth that empowers families, to building safe and strong communities rooted in opportunity, Vivek and Jon are showing that when leaders come together, Ohioans win.»

A new terrorist group with suspected links to the Iranian regime emerged in Europe last week. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right) has claimed responsibility for four attacks on Jewish targets across the continent.
A synagogue in Liège, Belgium, was the first target of an explosive attack on Monday. An arson attack on a Rotterdam synagogue followed overnight on Friday and an explosive device was set off at a Jewish school in Amsterdam the next evening.
Several sources have linked an additional attack at a Jewish site in Greece on Wednesday with the group, though no specifics were given about the target or method of attack.

The scene of an explosion at the synagogue in the rue Leon Fredericq, in Liege on March 9, 2026. The synagogue was hit at around 4am by a blast. A previously unknown terrorist group, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, claimed responsibility.
Joe Truzman, senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of the FDD’s Long War Journal, told Fox News Digital that when he saw the statement from the organization following their Monday attack, he «thought it was a little bit amateurish.» Truzman said that after videos from the group became to emerge, he «realized that there’s probably something more here to this organization.»
He said that the war in Iran has likely «compelled the group, for whoever is behind this, to start launching these attacks.» Truzman said he «suspect[s] this organization is being directed» and that there is «an entity behind it.»
Truzman says he suspects the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) itself, which he says «has been active in Europe» and has «attempted to eliminate or assassinate dissidents.» Though he does not discount them being entity of an Iraqi militia group.

In addition to anticipating further attacks from Ashab al-Yamin, Truzman said that he is concerned that «the dissemination of [terror] videos online may compel other people to commit antisemitic attacks» in Europe. According to Truzman, Ashab al-Yamin’s videos are «starting to gain traction. They’re starting to get the views, and people are seeing it. And maybe the ones that are radicalized already or are going to be radicalized, may be influenced by these videos, and may commit an antisemitic attack or an attack on a Jewish site.»
He said that the attacks «have been mostly unsophisticated, but things may change, and they may start targeting people, too, during the day, when it’s busy.» So far all attacks have come at night.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X that the group was tied to the regime in Tehran. «A jihadi group tied to an Iranian proxy» was responsible for the string of attacks. They noted that «the IRGC continues to sponsor and export terror across the globe.»
Onlookers are increasingly tying the attacks back to the war in Iran. The World Jewish Congress raised alarm bells about Ashab al-Yamin on X, stating that «security analysts believe the group may be part of Iran’s expanding network of proxy actors operating far beyond the Middle East.» The Congress called on governments to «treat this threat with the seriousness it deserves, dismantle the networks behind these attacks, and ensure Jewish communities can live and worship in safety.»
Amichai Chikli, Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Minister, called the attacks «part of a troubling pattern.» He explained that «terror networks linked to the Iranian axis are trying to expand their arena of activity into European cities and Jewish communities.»

The State Department did not respond to questions about whether it had previously been tracking Ashab al-Yamin, or if it planned to issue a warning to Americans traveling abroad to avoid Jewish institutions, but an alert from the U.S. embassy in the Netherlands on Monday warned, «Following recent targeted explosive incidents in the Netherlands and in other major European cities, the U.S. Mission to the Netherlands reminds U.S. citizens to maintain good personal security practices and exercise heightened situational awareness, consistent with the Department of State’s recent Worldwide Caution alert.»
The alert added, «As noted in the Travel Advisory for the Netherlands, terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in the Netherlands. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets/shopping malls, local government facilities, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports, and other public areas.»

Israel’s National Security Council recently warned its citizens traveling abroad to conceal items that might identify them as Israeli or Jewish and to «avoid visiting sites identified as Jewish or Israeli» following the first of three shootings at Toronto synagogues in early March.

There’s a new push to give federal reparations to descendants of slaves among congressional Democrats, this time being led by progressive Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich.
Thanedar introduced a bill late last week that would set up a federal commission to «study and distribute land reparations» for the descendants of slaves in the U.S. The legislation has no formal backers and faces steep obstacles to advancing in the Republican-controlled House.
«The history of historical injustices against Black Americans by our federal government is nothing short of shameful,» Thanedar told Fox News Digital in a statement. «Formerly enslaved families were promised land as a means of securing freedom and self-sufficiency, but these promises were broken, and the devastating economic effects of this broken promise is still felt today.»
Thanedar’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding how the legislation would work in practice.

NO CLEAR CHAMPION OF CASH PAYMENT REPARATIONS AMONG DEMOCRATS IN CALIFORNIA GUBERNATORIAL RACE
Reparations refer to financial compensation for Black Americans intended to address economic harms their ancestors experienced during slavery and the Jim Crow era. Republicans oppose the idea over eligibility concerns and their belief that present-day Americans should not be responsible for harms committed generations ago.
The reparations push comes as Thanedar, a two-term lawmaker, is facing a serious challenge from the left ahead of Michigan’s August 2026 primary. State Rep. Donavan McKinney, D-Mich., is vying to unseat Thanedar in the deep-blue district with the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt., and the progressive group, Justice Democrats — despite Thanedar’s own progressive credentials.
But Thanedar’s support for Israel has served to alienate him from the furthest-left flank of his party, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a fellow member of his state’s delegation. He left the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), of which Tlaib is a member, after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel in 2023.
Tlaib is also supporting McKinney’s campaign.
Thanedar, an Indian American, has supported slavery reparations since before his congressional tenure.
«Every other community has — Japanese Americans got their [reparations], American Indians got their reparations,» the Michigan Democrat said in 2022 while running for Congress. «This is something that needs to be handled in a fair way.»

ILLINOIS CITY WAS THE FIRST TO PAY BLACKS RESIDENTS 25K IN REPARATIONS, BUT HOW WILL IT FIND MORE FUNDING?
Thanedar is an original cosponsor of H.R. 40, also known as the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, which aims to kickstart the reparations process for descendants of slaves. The Michigan Democrat is also a proud supporter of more expansive legislation that aims to transfer $14 trillion in estimated losses to reparations recipients.
The legislation was originally introduced by Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., in 2023, when it was similarly dead on arrival in the GOP-controlled House.
Progressive Democrats have long advocated for the passage of reparations legislation but have encountered resistance from members of the party’s moderate flank who view the idea as politically toxic.
Gov. Wes Moore, D-Md., vetoed legislation in 2025 that would have enacted a reparations commission at the state level. Moore is notably one of the only Black Democratic governors in the country and is rumored to have presidential ambitions.

Thanedar has also introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and other Trump administration figures, despite opposition from House Democratic leadership.
