Chris Cuomo finished last in his return to prime time television, with only 147,000 viewers and 20 times less than Fox News' Tucker Carlson, who had 2.8 million viewers. Cuomo's latest 8 p.m. show with young and underperforming network NewsNation, dubbed simply Cuomo, premiered on Monday, with guests including John Bolton, Dan Rather, and Bill Maher. Cuomo's re-entering into prime time news coverage and commentary after he was fired by CNN last December. Tucker Carlson of Fox News Channel was at the top of the pack on Monday with 2.875 million viewers, similar to those on CNN's when hosting his show.

Javier Salazar, the Bexar County Sheriff, said he is investigating whether the migrants were lured to the Vineyard with false promises. Gov. Salazar did not mention Florida. Ron DeSantis was announcing the probe at a news conference. Images of a brochure describing support services that the migrants will be receiving on Martha's Vineyard surfaced. The brochure in both Spanish and English listed migrant benefits as "up to eight months of cash assistance" and "assistance with housing."

After last week's high-profile flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard, California Governor Gavin Newsom (left), a Democrat, engaged in a public war of words with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (right). Newsom, in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, requested a criminal investigation into Florida's airlift, accusing it of being "morally reprehensible" and possibly illegal in an effort to 'humiliate and dehumanize the group of about 50 migrants. At a press conference, DeSantis retaliated, stating that Newsom's 'hair gel is interfering with his brain function.' Both governors are expected presidential candidates for their respective parties' presidential nominations in the forthcoming cycles.

DeSantis (right) imitated his Texas and Arizona colleagues in sending hundreds of migrants to Democrat-led cities up north earlier this week, demonstrating the Biden Administration's border policies. Gavin Newsom (left) and other Democratic politicians have slammed the move as playing with people's lives, with the California governor opposing DeSantis to a discussion ahead of the midterm elections. 'Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you're struggling, distracted, and occupied playing politics with people's lives,' Newsom tweeted on Friday (bottom inset). If you have only one overriding need - attention - let's take this up and discuss,' Newsom said in reaction to Dan Rather's tweet urging CNN to schedule a debate between the two governors. DeSantis continued to defend flying the migrants across Martha's Vineyard, claiming that the state has a $12 million budget to relocate more immigrants.

In a video that has since gone viral that was supposed to be an attack on President Joe Biden over high food prices, Pennsylvania Republican Senate hopeful Dr. Mehmet Oz said he was joking when his wife sent him shopping for 'crudite.' Oz was questioned by Newsmax's Shaun Kraisman on Tuesday night, and the anchor asked if his highfalutin words made him "relatable to the everyday, hardworking Americans in Pennsylvania."

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Pennsylvania Democrat, earned half a million dollars overnight by chastising 'crudite' for shopping.' 'We call this a... veggie tray in Pennsylvania,' Fetterman said, posting the Oz video on Monday, before largely mocking the Republican candidate's inflammatory remarks while grocery shopping on social media.
