Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party was handed another loss at the ballot box on Monday.

Louis-Philippe Sauvé won on the Bloc Québécois' ticket to represent LaSalle-Émard-Verdun in parliament against Trudeau's personally endorsed candidate, Liberal Laura Palestini.

The race was a tight one, with Sauvé taking in 28 percent of the vote. The Bloc Québécois candidate beat the Liberal candidate by less than 250 votes according to Elections Canada results.

"Obviously it would have been nicer to be able to win," said Trudeau in Ottowa in a press conference Tuesday. "…But there’s more work to do."

"The big thing is to make sure that Canadians understand the choice they get to make in the next election," Trudeau added.

Trudeau has held the position of Prime Minister for nine years, meaning the Liberal Party has maintained power in the Canadian parliament for nearly a decade.

In a recent Ipsos poll tracking the "best Prime Minister," Canadians rate Trudeau at 26%. For comparison, Canada's Conservative Party PM candidate Pierre Poilievre was given a 45% rating in the same poll.

The Liberal Party has lost other by-elections over the course of the summer. Toronto-St. Paul's fell from being considered a Liberal stronghold in June when the Conservatives won the seat by a hair.

The Bloc Québécois, which describes itself as "the only party who defends the interests of Quebec," seeks independence from Canada.

Sauvé, the new Bloc Québécois MP, said "it was a roller coaster night, I had many emotions," in a press conference.

"But today I’m feeling good. I’m feeling grateful, grateful towards the people in my neighborhood of having chosen me as their MP," Sauvé added.

Prime Minister Trudeau is up for re-election on October 25, 2025.

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans condemned a forthcoming United Nations General Assembly vote that, if successful, would label the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) posture in Gaza and the West Bank as an "unlawful presence" and demand that the country leave the territories within six months. 

"This proposal introduced by the Palestinian delegation, ahead of the United Nations’ General Assembly, is an absolute disgrace that rewards terrorism. It is a clear insult to the Jewish people and anyone who understands history," Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice Chair Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in a statement that was signed onto by 28 other Republicans. 

Signers included Foreign Relations Committee ranking member James Risch, R-Idaho, and Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism co-Chair James Lankford, R-Okla.

A draft of the proposal by the Palestinian Authority reportedly cited the International Court of Justice and its nonbinding opinion issued in July, which declared that Israel's presence in the Palestinian territories as well as its actions were in violation of international law, per the Associated Press. 

A U.N. General Assembly vote on the resolution is expected Wednesday, according to reports.

"As we approach the one-year anniversary of the barbaric terrorist attack by Hamas and affiliated Palestinian terrorist groups against innocent Israeli civilians, which involved murder, mutilation, and sexual violence, the international community must unequivocally unite against this evil, one-sided effort to delegitimize Israel," the Senate GOP statement said.

Oct. 7, 2024 marks one year since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel that left about 1,200 dead and hundreds taken to Gaza as hostages.

Since then, Israeli and Hamas forces have continued to fire on one another, and the former has launched several targeted strikes against targets as well as hostage recovery missions. Attempts by the U.S. and neighboring Middle Eastern countries to facilitate a cease-fire agreement have yet to result in an end to the war.

"Instead of proposing biased and counter-productive initiatives, which will do nothing to advance a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the international community must focus its energy and resources on ensuring Hamas and other terrorist groups are completely destroyed," the GOP statement continued. "We must remain firm to ensure every single hostage held by these terrorists is safely returned to their loved ones."

If the proposal passes the U.N. General Assembly, which consists of 193 members, it would not be legally binding or have any enforcement mechanism. However, it would reflect global opinion about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

There are no vetoes during a General Assembly vote, further differentiating it from one in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.
