EXCLUSIVE! 25 People To Watch In 2025

Here's the list you've been waiting for. In no particular order, here we go:

Barron Trump - Though it seems his mother has (justifiably) shielded him, Big Barron's moment is arriving and our bet is we'll soon be hearing from him. Highly anticipated!


John Fetterman - Some people say he's about to switch parties. We say, don't bet on it. But keep an eye on this "sloppy Joe" opportunist who seems to crave constant attention.


TimotheƩ Chalamet - This talented young actor could snag an Oscar for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in the new flick A Complete Unknown. He reportedly spent five years prepping for the role. Eminently watchable!


Menendez Brothers - They seem to be headed for freedom just as NJ's former Senator Menendez (no relation) seems to be headed to jail. Will the brudders move into the public arena or will they simply opt for as private a life as they could attain? TBC.


JD Vance - One of the most exciting vice presidential picks ever. Smart, savvy and sexy, he brings Trumpism into a whole new genre. He's already the odds-on favorite for the GOP presidential nomination in '28.


Darren Chriss - This former Glee TV heartthrob is now starring in Broadway's biggest new musical hit, Maybe Happy Ending. Playing a bot, he could wind up with the Tony award. Ain't that timely!


Jack Ciattarelli - Will the third time be the charm for "smiling Jack" whose sole aspiration is the governorship of New Jersey? We say, yes IF (and this is a big IF) he gets tough and hits hard on issues that resonate with the new GOP base. 


Kai Trump - Have you hear of Generation Z? You haven't? The Trump's are already on it and she seems to be the key to it. Keep an eye on this talented granddaughter! (pictured above)


Tulci Gabbard - This maverick former congresswoman is Trump's pick to head the CIA. It seems like a wild card choice but the president-elect's picks are decidedly outside the box and isn't that what America voted for?


Candace Owens - The Washington Post calls her "the new face of Black conservatism." She's sassy and endlessly quotable and, agree with her or not (something that's likely to change in a millisecond) she's always fascinating to follow.


Susie Wiles - Seemingly the opposite of Candace Owens, she worked her way up in the background and out of public view. Now she will be Trump's Chief of Staff -- arguably the most powerful woman in Washington. And a walk on the high wire, to be sure!


Karoline Leavitt - When she succeeds Karine Jean-Pierre (aka PepĆ© LePew), Leavitt will be the youngest presidential press secretary ever. It's a tough job but it's not like she has a hard act to follow. Voila!


Pete Hegseth - Yes, we think he's ready for the job and yes, we think he'll be confirmed as Secretary of Defense and yes, we think he'll do a great job. Go, Pete!


Saquon Barkley - The full name is Saquon Rasul Quevis Barkley and he's the Philadelphia Eagles' newest sensation. It's pronounced SAY kwon.The name is of Swahili origin and is said to mean "warrior." No doubt about it, he's fun to watch but that does not necessarily mean the Eagles will win the Super Bowl.


Scott Presler - The best thing to happen to the Republican Party since . . . since . . . well, there's never been anyone quite like him so there's no one to compare him to. He's a veritable force of nature and thank God he's ours. See ya in Joizee, friend!


Cherelle Parker - She's one year into her job as Mayor of Philadelphia. She seems to be  hitting all the right notes but the melody hasn't quite yet jelled. And, let's face it, that won't happen until people fee safe again. Big year ahead for the mayor.


Nigel Forage - Oh, isn't he a wonderful tonic for Jolly 'Ole England and hasn't he turned politics upside down in the UK with his new political party, and wouldn't he make a great Prime Minister? 


Bill Belichick - How about this guy jumping from an illustrious career in the pros into collegiate football and at a school not known for its prowess on the gridiron? He could single handedly redefine college sports. Keep an eye on him!


John Fry - He helped to remake the University of Pennsylvania. He totally transformed Drexel University. Now, he's the new President of Temple University. The other two were a piece of cake compared to what he's facing now. Good luck with that, fella!


Scott Jennings - Right now he's pretty much the only reason to watch CNN but, ohh what a reason! So quick on the uptake he take's your breath away! 


Jeff VanDrew - This Jersey Shore congressman seems to be everywhere and on top of every issue that touches the Garden State. He battled those offshore wind turbines and won and now he's hot on the trail of those high-flying drones. He's positively airborne!


Bo Loudon - They call him "Trump's Young Gun" and it also helps that he's one of Barron's best friends. This 18 year old Mar-a-Largo member knows how to reach young men in the online spaces where they gather and his strategic role is said to be his calling card. Wow! (pictured, right)


Elise Stefanik - This fearless congresswoman and fierce defender of the State of Israel singularly (and rightfully) took down the presidents of Harvard and Penn. Now she's set to be America's ambassador to that den of iniquity misnamed the United Nations. More smackdowns to come, we hope!


Chris Stigall and Rich Zeoli - These two Philly conservative radio talkers (who can be heard on competing staions) are both headed for the Big Time with Stigall taking his show national on the Salem Radio Network and Zeoli showing up as a frequent guest on Fox News and other nationwide outlets. Bravo!


Riley Gaines - The undisputed champion in the fight for the integrity of women's sports (not transwomen but WOMEN) will discover there's no rest from this battle, even with Trump as president, because her enemies remain ferocious. Fight on, Riley!


And here's just one more:

Mike Testa - This New Jersey state senator is the Total Package and seems perennially destined for bigger and better things. Now, he's said to be a prime candidate for the job of US Attorney for New Jersey. We can't imagine a better choice!
