What Trump's VP hopefuls have to say about accepting the 2024 election results
As former President Donald Trump continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him, those rumored to be in the running to be his vice-presidential nominee have walked a tightrope when asked if they would accept the 2024 results and how they viewed the 2020 election. On the question of whether one's views on the 2020 results and possibly the 2024 elections are a litmus test for potentially being picked as a vice president, Trump told Time magazine he "wouldn't feel good" hiring someone on his campaign who acknowledged President Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Trump has applied this strategy at the Republican National Committee, where the former president has filled the organization with his allies, including his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

A New York City couple got the surprise of a lifetime while magnet fishing in Queens -- a safe containing about $100,000. James Kane and Barbi Agostini visited Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens last Friday, tossing their rope fishing line with a powerful magnet on the end into a stream and pulling out a safe. While it was not the couple's first time catching a safe, they had never hooked one with treasure inside, so they contacted the New York Police Department to report their discovery in case it was a part of illegal activity.

Biden says only Hamas stands in way of cease-fire, but questions about Israel remain
Since President Joe Biden's extraordinary move to lift the veil of secrecy surrounding sensitive negotiations aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza -- by detailing the terms of the deal on the table -- U.S. officials have launched into a flurry of diplomatic activity to maximize pressure on Hamas to accept the deal and to ensure Israel would stand by it. Despite the hard sell from the administration and Biden's appeal to all sides, the many open questions about the long-term provisions of the proposal may jeopardize its future. On Monday, Biden spoke by phone with the Emir of Qatar -- another critical mediator in the negotiations -- in order to confirm "Israel's readiness to move forward with the terms that have now been offered to Hamas," according to the White House.

Biden campaign slams Trump for warning of supporters' 'breaking point' if he's jailed, put under house arrest
President Joe Biden's campaign on Monday slammed former President Donald Trump for comments he made in a recent Fox News interview where he suggested there could be a "breaking point" for his supporters, saying the public would not "stand for" it if he was put under house arrest as a result of his conviction in his New York criminal trial.
