Record 40% of young women want to flee US: poll
A new survey found that a record number of young women are interested in fleeing the U.S. and moving abroad permanently. Gallup recently found for the second year in a row that approximately one in five Americans say they would like to leave the U.S. and move to another country permanently. However, a growing number of young women expressed interest in fleeing the country. According to the polling firm, 40% of women ages 15 to 44 said they would move abroad permanently if given the opportunity. Gallup noted that in 2014, only one-quarter as many women of that age bracket expressed a desire to leave the country. FOX NEWS VOTER POLL: HOW SPANBERGER WON VIRGINIA GOVERNOR By contrast, 19% of the young women’s male counterparts said they would like to leave the U.S. for good, marking what Gallup said was the widest gap it had recorded in this trend. Gallup also noted that few countries had shown this kind of gender gap in a desire to migrate since it started measuring the question globally in 2007. The polling firm said the first decisive increase in the number of young women looking to leave the U.S. occurred in 2016, as then-President Barack Obama’s second term came to a close. The 2016 survey was conducted in June and July, after both parties chose their presumptive nominees for the presidential election. While the results seem to be political in nature, Gallup assessed that the results suggested a “broader shift” among young women rather than “a solely partisan one.” 2025 FOX NEWS VOTER POLL The results of the survey come on the heels of an election in which Democratic candidates won big with voters from that same group. In the high-stakes Virginia gubernatorial race, Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears. A Fox News poll found that Spanberger benefited from a significant gender gap with 65% of women casting their ballots for her, while just 35% of women voted for Earle-Sears. While Earle-Sears had higher support among men, the gap between the two candidates was much smaller. The Fox News poll found Spanberger trailed Earle-Sears by just 4 points among men, paling in comparison to the Democrat’s 30-point advantage with women. In an ad released just over a month before the election, Spanberger hit Earle-Sears for her opposition to abortion. When asked about the video, a spokesperson for Spanberger told Fox News Digital that it was important that voters know about Earle-Sears’ position. “The Republican nominee in this race has called abortion ‘wicked’ and just this year handwrote a note on Virginia’s proposed constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights in Virginia making clear that she is ‘morally opposed,’” the spokesperson said. This could signal a ripple effect from the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in 2022, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, have used their platforms to address reproductive rights. While Harris lost on the issue, it seemed to work for Spanberger, who is set to be Virginia’s first female governor.
6 House Democrats explain breaking with party to end shutdown
The six House Democrats who broke ranks with party leadership by voting in favor of legislation that ended the government shutdown are now opening up about their actions, with one saying, “The last several weeks have been a case study in why most Americans can’t stand Congress.” Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, Jared Golden of Maine, Adam Gray of California, Don Davis of North Carolina, Henry Cuellar of Texas and Tom Suozzi of New York were the six who voted with all but two Republicans to pass the bill by a 222 to 209 margin. President Donald Trump then signed the legislation late Wednesday night, putting an end to the longest shutdown in U.S. history. “Americans can’t afford for their Representatives to get so caught up in landing a partisan win that they abandon their obligation to come together to solve the urgent problems that our nation faces,” Gluesenkamp Perez wrote on X. “The last several weeks have been a case study in why most Americans can’t stand Congress. None of my friends who rely on SNAP would want to trade their dinner for an ambiguous D.C. beltway ‘messaging victory,’ and I’m glad this ugly scene is in the rearview mirror.” The bill keeps funding the government at the same levels during fiscal year 2025 through Jan. 30 to provide additional time to hash out a longer appropriations measure for fiscal year 2026. The measure also funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that more than 42 million Americans rely on through September. The program provides non- or low-income individuals or families the ability to purchase groceries on a debit card. JOHN FETTERMAN BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATS IN SHUTDOWN VOTE, SAYS IT’S AN ‘EASY CHOICE’ TO PUT AMERICA FIRST “I just voted to reopen the government, pay federal workers, and get food assistance and other critical programs up and running again,” Golden said Wednesday. “Now, with the shutdown ended, Congress should take immediate action to extend expiring Affordable Care Act premium tax credits that keep health insurance plans affordable for millions of Americans. We still have a window to pass bipartisan legislation to extend these credits,” he also said. Gray said in his own statement that, “No parent should have to choose between feeding their children and keeping the lights on because someone in Washington thinks chaos is a negotiating tactic.” “That’s why I voted for a bipartisan agreement that takes food assistance off the table for an entire year. So when the next shutdown happens (and in this divided Washington, there is always a next shutdown) the president cannot use hungry kids as bargaining chips again. This agreement also protects veterans, small business owners, and federal workers from being turned into political weapons,” he said. TRUMP SIGNS BILL ENDING LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN US HISTORY Suozzi noted in his statement that the “airport situations are becoming untenable, and government workers have gone without pay for too long.” “If my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are willing to work together to address this health insurance affordability crisis by extending the premium tax credits, then we will have accomplished something meaningful,” he continued. “If we are not successful, it will deal yet another blow to the already eroding trust in Washington, D.C., and it will be clear who failed to deliver.” Davis released a statement on X saying in part that he voted to reopen the government “to support my constituents, alleviate the suffering of our families as the holidays approach, and bring vital resources to eastern North Carolina.” Cuellar said he voted to reopen the government “so we can get critical programs back on track,” adding, “this stability is especially important for our border communities, where so many families depend on federal agencies to keep trade, travel and public safety moving.” Fox News Digital’s Diana Stancy and Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.

Trump signs bill ending longest government shutdown in US history
President Donald Trump signed legislation to fund the government again — putting an end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Trump signaled Monday the government would open soon, as consequences of a lapse in funding continued to snowball, including missed paychecks for federal workers and airline delays stemming from air traffic controller staffing shortages. The bill keeps funding the government at the same levels during fiscal year 2025 through Jan. 30 to provide additional time to hash out a longer appropriations measure for fiscal year 2026. The measure also funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that more than 42 million Americans rely on through September. The program supports non- or low-income individuals or families to purchase groceries on a debit card. LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN HISTORY NEARS LIKELY END AS HOUSE MOVES ON FUNDING BILL Additionally, the measure reverses layoffs the Trump administration set into motion earlier in October and pays employees for their absence. The reopening of the government comes after more than 40 days of a lapse in funding amid a stalemate between Senate Republicans and Democrats over a stopgap spending bill that would have funded the government through Nov. 21. After a lapse in funding starting Oct. 1, the Senate passed legislation Monday night that would reopen the government by a 60–40 vote margin. A total of eight Democrats voted alongside their Republican counterparts for the measure. The House subsequently passed its version of the measure Wednesday. THE 5 LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS IN HISTORY: WHAT HAPPENED, HOW THEY ENDED The deal came as fallout from the shutdown came to a head, including travel disruptions at U.S. airports where air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers were required to work and were gearing up to miss a second paycheck. As a result, these staffers were calling in sick, or taking on second jobs, creating staffing shortages and flight delays. The standoff between Republicans and Democrats originated over disagreements about various healthcare provisions to include in a potential funding measure. Trump and Republicans claimed Democrats wanted to provide illegal immigrants healthcare, and pointed to a provision that would repeal part of Trump’s tax and domestic policy bill known as the “big, beautiful bill” that reduced Medicaid eligibility for non-U.S. citizens. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BECOMING LONGEST IN US HISTORY AS DEMOCRATS DIG IN ON OBAMACARE Democrats pushed back on this characterization, and said they want to permanently extend certain Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of 2025. The stopgap spending bill that Trump signed does not extend these subsidies by the end of the year, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., agreed to a vote in December on legislation that would continue these credits. Even so, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., has not agreed to get on board with that arrangement in the House. Fox News’ Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.
