Welcome to Fox News’ Politics newsletter with the latest political news from Washington D.C. and updates from the 2024 campaign trail.
The New York Court of Appeals denied former President Trump’s request to lift the gag order imposed by Judge Juan Merchan.

Trump currently holds a slight edge nationwide as the debate with President Biden approaches. Trump has also shown his support for an Alaska House candidate and criticized the handling of a migrant attack in New York.

Additionally, the House Ethics Committee provided an update on the investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, while a member of the ‘Squad’ is at risk of losing the primary as Democrats back a challenger.
