Summary

President Trump scored a major victory in last night’s Republican primaries, defeating opponents like John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thomas Massie, none of whom received his endorsement and have recently distanced themselves from him. The candidates Trump backed came out on top, highlighting his continued influence on the GOP. On foreign policy, President Trump commented on rising tensions with Iran. He indicated the U.S. is giving Iran a little more time to de-escalate, but warned that another round of military conflict is becoming increasingly likely. In response, Iranian officials threatened to target Gulf countries and oil facilities if the U.S. launches attacks against Iran, raising concerns about broader regional instability. Meanwhile, Democrats have been effective in recent congressional hearings, particularly in scrutinizing President Trump’s proposed $1.8 billion fund, which critics argue could benefit his allies and friends.
